Alps Long Spur Deluxe Vest

[younggun308]

For $80 in Bottomland from Rogers Sporting Goods. I've got one on the way. Looks like a nice versatile setup with minimal bulk (and every component can be "debulked" at will). Might even use it as a fanny pack and cushion come deer season.

It arrived in the mail a couple days ago. First time I've ever had a vest, but it's got all the room I need for, well, things I actually need. But no bulk to heat me up later in the season. Bet I can fit as many snacks as I need to keep me going on a day-long hunt. Truth is, I already have more space than I know what to do with. Bet I can figure it out.

I love the game bag design. A removable, washable material drawstring bag that's zipped away until you need it to haul the bird out. My pot calls fit perfect. Plenty of room for strikers. Silent box call pocket works great. Pad is 3" thick, so pretty comfy.

Only potential drawback is there's not an intuitive place to stash an insulating layer you need early in the morning, but not later in the day after it warms up. I'll just tie my sweater around my waist or stuff it in my leafy jacket's inner pouch.
