Equinox Turkey Vest Reviews

Awesome jacket! Terrible cushion!

Overall the vest is really awesome. The magnetic close pockets are great as well as the cushion deployment/retrieval system. That leads us to the cushion. IT IS AWFUL! It is very thin dense foam with very little give. Not at all comfortable for anything over about 10 minutes. If you get caught with a hung up turkey or one that’s working slow your in trouble with this cushion. Sitka you have to do better!

Great vest!

Definitely recommend!

Well taught out vest for turkey hunting. I have had a number of turkey vest's over the years, this one is definitely the best.

Love it, it works perfectly.

Second Sitka Equinox vest purchased

Did my first one have a problem? Get stolen or lost? No. I literally bought a second vest for one main reason…it is just about perfect for me. After 35 years of chasing these birds I have learned that if you find something you really love, especially when it comes to turkey hunting, buy 2 before it is changed or discontinued. That is how highly I regard this vest. Getting a new one in the cover pattern was an added bonus! How would I improve it? I added a tiny carabiner on the left adjustment strap near my shoulder that I clip a ventilated mouth call case and lanyard to. I use the mouth call spots inside the pot call case to hold sandpaper and scotchbrite pads. That is about it. The adjustability is top notch, the construction is top notch, the layout is top notch. Love it!

As advertised. Purposed built for "run and gun" style turkey hunts. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Sitka quality and well thought out.

You can tell this is made by hunters who focus on the details.

Equinox turkey vest

This is the ultimate run and gun turkey vest. Light weight with enough pockets for everything you need to hunt turkeys. Can't wait to put it to use in the spring.

Love it!

Lay out is awesome very well thought out!

I love it

I love mine I bought it a couple weeks ago and it’s great it’s so light and quiet

Good fit and lightweight

It fits well and it’s lightweight. Plenty of adjustment for sizing. I haven’t had it long enough to see how durable it is but I typically see most Sitka products being durable and this feels like it will be too.

Very nice

Well thought out vest with plenty of storage. I can’t wait for next Turkey season.

Best run and gun vest available

This vest is lightweight with room to carry all the essentials. I love the way the seat deploys and stows quickly and easily, but sturdy and secure with straps. The pocket for hydration bladder is a nice touch that I do use. The storage is well thought out and the box call pocket holds a box snug and quiet where other vests fail. Adjustability to fit your body is superb so you’re not left with a ton of leftover material if you are smaller, but plenty of webbing for a big guy.

Looks versitile, much less cumbersome

Looks versitile, much less cumbersome and is of high quality. Looking forward to using it in the field this next spring.

Out of season but excited to use it.

It’s been years using the same vest. I’m excited to get liter and more mobile in the woods in 2025.

Great price of gear

Wish it came with a water bottle holder instead of a bladder. Other than that works great!

Great vest

I’m 5’8 @ 135lbs and this vest fits perfectly. Great material, light, firm cushioned seat pad, easy adjustability and looks great. Each pocket was sized perfectly to fit all of my calls just snug not too tight.

Run and gun vest missing some features.

I really like this vest for fast run&gun turkey hunting but I found a few areas that could use improvements. First the backpack could be a bit larger for stowing things like a puffy jacket, food bag and any extra layers. Where I hunt it can be 30deg before dawn and 55deg by 10am which means I will need a few layers to stay warm while stalking and sitting for turkeys. Next the attachment system for carrying out a bird once harvested sucks, I shot two birds back to back about 4 miles away from my truck and it was not fun trying to secure one and hand carry the other. Lastly I’d love to see the seat pad secured with a magnet instead of pull straps, magnets are quit and fast. Overall I enjoy this vest and will continue to use it although modifications may need to be made for it to work better for me.

Amazing all around. Plenty of

Used twice, works great. Only issue is the seat pad, there needs to be an easier way to stow it while moving. Everything else was great!

Well made and very adjustable.

Well made and very adjustable. Design is minimalist and storage is located in great locations.

Sitka Turkey Vest

Fits great, love all the pockets. The cushion could be a little better. It got pretty uncomfortable pretty quickly compared to some other vests I’ve used in the past.

Turkey vest

The only thing I would change is swap sides with the box call and pot call pickets.
