There is a new item out that a couple of the distributors are carrying. I have tried about all of the the stuff and most had just too many pockets all over the place.

The new item is called a Chest Pack. I haven't tried one yet but even time I look at one I just feel I need it. I can tell you that they are selling good!

It has two pockets on the front and a center sleeve for shocker. If you look closely it has a zipper on the left and behind the front pockets you have a large area to carry secure items or score cards.



Many hunting supply dealers are starting to carry them. I think they may be the future.

What all do you carry? I never have seen a use for all of these vest and pouches. Everything I need goes in my pocket.

They are around fifty bucks. Joey there are a couple thoughts behind vest and pouches. They give you a home for your equipment when you done hunting and keep stuff together. Up around the chest also protects wallets and electronics from water.

I got a vest after I dropped a Trashbreaker out of my pocket. Luckily I was able to find it the next day. Got an alpha and have been using the gizmo vest since it got too warm for a jacket. I hate how bulky the gizmo vest is but to does work well. The vest was handy to keep some some bullets and tp. Also had a beer can pocket which I liked. A chest pack of some sort seems handy

I like the vest personally. Got a few smirks from my hunting buddies when I bought it a few years ago. But now they all have them. Comes in handy having a few extra pockets.

i dont know if i should try that new pouch or go with the dans summertime vest, chest pouch may be sufficient. i would like to have a spot for a water bottle maybe for summer? garmin, squaller, cellphone, thats about all i carry, just like to keep everything together, tried a lanyard for the garmin but it bounces everywhere and is always in my way.

buchcoonhunter we kind of listed it wrong and called it a chest pack. For now you can search the work pack on website but we are changing it soon to come up under vest.
