Equinox Turkey Vest Reviews

Works Great!

The adjustments and functionality are spot on. It also gives you enough room in your pack to carry extra gear to be out all day with no issue.

Turkey vest

Awesome vest, best out there hands down.

I'm so happy I decided to get one!

From order to my front door only took a few days. What an incredible investment! Durable and light weight. Even with a 3 liter water bladder it's lighter than my old day pack. Magnetic pocket closures are no joke. Quiet and strong.

Totally awesome

This vest works very well for the Turkey hunter that likes to move fast. The seat is comfortable to sit on as well. I love the design of this for small amount of coverage compared to most other well made vests. It is comfortable and roomy. Great design.

Turkey vest

Best turkey vest I have seen so far. Pockets everywhere, pockets that are designed for call, and other equipment. Love the easy clips, and magnetic pockets. Will be using this vest hard this spring turkey season.

Great Vest

Another great piece of clothing! Quiet,lightweight,and comfortable this vest won't let you down.

Equinox vest

Vest fit great and helped me minimize what I carried into the woods to stay light. Seat could be slightly thicker and maybe have a way to attach magnetically but still very good overall.

Turkey vest

Nice and light carries everything I need

Awesome vest

This vest is super light and it holds alot of calls. And the seat pad might appear thin but I’ve sat on some long sits and it has yet to compress and flatten. All around amazing vest.

Great Vest

Well thought out. Very versatile, run and gun or set and wait. Comfortable.

Equinox Turkey Vest

Once again, a great product from Sitka. Has perfect storage for all turkey gear including two collapsible foam decoys in back. Best turkey vest I have ever owned.

The seat already has a

The seat already has a small hole in the bottom side from normal use, but aside from that, I love the product.

Sitka vest

Love it once I figured out the pad comes unhooked. Otherwise great product! I would love to see you guys come out with an upland game vest with shell holders and a game pouch in the back! Otherwise love my Sitka gear!!

Turkey vest

Have some miles with this turkey vest and absolutely love it, will be using in deer season as well. Quality as always from sitka so glad I switched a few years ago.

Turkey vest

Cannot use binos with this. Modifications have to be made or pull both extra pockets off the Sitka bino harness. Believe this could’ve been more well thought out now that I own one. I own a lot of Sitka and this one kinda disappointed me for that reason.

Big West Turkey Vest

This thing is awesome!! I used to use a Knight and Hale run and gun 300.. It was a decent vest..but it’s really not built to hunt out west, sort of clunky pockets and pouches in weird places and hard to access… very uncomfortable when you add a shotgun and decoy bag with two full size decoys.. and the bag on the back is laughable… literally keys, tags maybe a sandwich… that’s it… full… layers you shed had to be tied on the back..more than once they were waded up in the bottom of the decoy bag because they kept coming loose from the pack… fine for when you’re going to be back to the truck in an hour or two.. just not my style of hunting. Stepped into the big leagues with the Equinox vest… A it literally holds all my hunting stuff perfectly secure and compartmentalized… B the pack on the vest holds plenty of water, has room for my stove, lunch and shed layers… C. VERY comfortable with the decoy bag on my back and shotgun.. no digging into your shoulder, straps getting all hung up on call pouches and such… just buy the damn vest… if you’re out ALL day chasing birds and won’t be back to the truck until night it won’t let you down… Plus it looks great with turkey blood on it!

Pretty Slick

Good fit, good materials, good layout. Built in seats functional. Good looking vest all around.

Love it!!

New to turkey hunting so it’s definitely help me dial in what I need to bring and utilize during the hunt!!! Super helpful during this learning process!!

The King of Turkey Vests.

The Turkey Vest, it’s not a new piece of gear. It’s been reinvented and reworked many times. The fit and finish is amazing. It’s a more rigid vest, doesn’t feel “floppy” or saggy. The zippered pockets on the inside are so nice! I didn’t actually realize how much I like this vest until I was pulling my decoy mid morning. I had my chair, my tripod strapped to the back of my vest. Grabbed my bow and decoy and realized how well thought out this piece of equipment is. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Awesome Vest

Got this right before season kicked off. Have been running it for a few weeks and super happy with it. Fits just the right amount of stuff and is super light weight. Highly recommended.

Equinox Turkey Vest

This is by far the most comfortable turkey vest I have worn. It's light, but still has all the pockets/storage needed for an entire day. I also like how the seat immediately adjusts when you sit down. Great vest!

Great vest

Seat is pretty comfortable and easy to put away and I do like the water resistant pocket for your slate and the padded pocket for a box call

Great as usual

Typical Sitka product. Exactly as advertised, does what you need it to do.

Perfect Setup

It just works! The pockets for your calls are perfect, the seat is comfortable, it fits nice instead of being bulky and oversized, you have the ability to change the size by adjusting the straps from small to XL and having the pouch in the back for your harvest makes it about as perfect as you can have. It's pricey but I am pleased with it. Again, it just works.

New cushion needed

Seat cushion is terrible, but vest is nice. I’m price cushion and straps and you’ve got something

Ditch your old one

I’ve always ran a traditional turkey vest with big padded foam seats and a million pockets with gear to outfit three more hunters. What you don’t realize with those big vests is (until you try this one) is how much you’ve been bogged down. I hunt four or five states per season, put on many miles, have shot numerous slams and spend an entire month chasing birds every year. As turkey hunters, we do a lot of walking typically and standard vests get a little bulky. They can wear on you after a while without even knowing. They can be a hidden source of fatigue, especially later in the morning. Sitka slammed it out of the park with this vest. It’s got the perfect amount of magnetic pockets for everything right where you need them. The back pouch is just big enough to stow some lightweight insulation or water bladder. It is super light, very comfortable, and you barely realize you’re wearing it. Yet at the same time it’s outfitted with enough storage for everything you need in strategic locations. The seat is quite comfortable, but leaves a little bit to be desired. It’s not as thick as the seats you were used to but still plenty comfy on longer sits. I would highly recommend ditching your old vest and getting this one. You will realize quickly how much unnecessary crap you brought in the woods that you never needed. This will make your turkey hunt a lot more enjoyable, especially if you’re doing a lot of walking. It’s worth checking out for sure.

All you need

Light and fast , with enough room to carry everything for a day hunt. Well thought out straps to carry decoys , and foot loops to carry a bird. I’ve sit long hours guiding clients using this vest this season and have zero complaints. Definitely recommend

Turkey vest

It needs a place for water bottle and the seat needs to be more robust. The padding is sub standard but on a positive note it deploys and stores better than any seat I’ve ever had. I’ve had several vest and it’s definitely well thought out but most turkey hunters are not going to use a water bladder. Easy access water bottle holder on the side would be ideal. Actually worked a bird over 4 hours yesterday - which is the purpose for my critique on the seat.

Turkey vest

I like everything about this vest except deploying the seat. It takes two hands and is very awkward. They need to figure something else out. For this price point it should not have a major flaw like this.

Equinox vest

I love the vest and how it’s laid out and the storage reason for one star is the seat. Not an all day sit kind of pad not even an hour sit pad it is very hard and dense and provides no cushion what so ever. Would rather sit on the ground than the pad and most of the time I find myself doing that just to be more comfortable.

Just plain awesome. Easy to

Just plain awesome. Easy to adjust. Perfect fit.

I’m glad I bought this!

Wasn’t sure how much I really needed this but after being in the field it was obviously the best investment! It allowed me to be prepared for any situation I found myself in!

Love the fit

I tried many different vests. There is nothing even remotely comparable

Thunder chickens don’t stand a chance

Breathable and lightweight for all the gear it holds

Priceless

So let me get this out of the way real quick: I read a review that included a gripe with the butt-pad being too thin and the guy’s butt going numb… That guy wears an ascot onto his private lease, which is located in the burbs.. and politely requests to borrow some Grey Poupon from the neighbors! I also read a couple reviews stating that the fasteners were subpar and one guy whined about how they came undone when he bends over….. I’m thinking this guy bends over way too far & often, and he generally hates his life. It is what it is.. The vest is absolutely stunning; not only in visual appeal, but especially in quality & functionality. Seriously… I dare you to try to find something better on the market. My own assessment is simple; this vest has it all. Period. Fit: The adjustability is phenomenal and will probably fit anyone over the age of 10. Functionality: It’s perfect. The design is immaculately thought out. Everything is located precisely where it should be. Comfort: Again, perfect. It’s super lightweight, snugs beautifully, and doesn’t move or shift unless you make it happen intentionally. Quality: If you have ever owned any piece of Sitka Gear before, you already know.

Best turkey vest

Very worth it

9/10 vest

Best vest I’ve owned. Minimal pockets t that limit clutter and digging for calls. though the only down side is no back section to carry a decoy.

Top Tier Vest

Excellent piece of gear for a whole day in the woods. Everything has its place, including calls, strikers, snacks, drink, and so forth. You won't have to worry about forgetting whatever you brought and can remain mobile. No matter the terrain, you remain adaptable, quiet, and comfortable thanks to the cozy yet unobtrusive design.

Equinox turkey vest earth color

Perfect color for the state of Georgia in spring and Florida. Fits great, holds a lot of tools and calls. Comfortable for those long sits going from morning into the afternoon. And perfect for running and gunning, very quiet and stealthy.

Fit was alittle small.

Vest did not have any medium to large pockets nor fit me without adjustment. It’s made for on the go hunting for skinny hunters. I recommend Sitka revamp the vest to scale for all sizes and include larger pockets to fit additional gear/ammo

Great

The vest is great. I have only one complaint. They thought of everything with the exception of a handy place to put a pair of snips. Other than that one thing the vest fits great and is exactly one I expected from Sitka. The seat is surprisingly comfortable for sits.

Love it

best turkey vest I have ever used

Greta Vest

I bought this vest the first year they released and loved it. Only thing I would adjust is make the misc pocket next to the box call large enough for a range finder. I’m trying it in the left inside pocket this year and we’ll see how it works.

Last vest of you will buy

Great piece of equipment to spend a whole day in the wood. There is a spot for everything, calls, strikers, snack, water, ect. You can stay mobile and not have to worry if you brought this or that. Comfy and not intrusive design keeps you flexible, quiet, and comfortable in any terrain.

Comfortable

This is the most comfortable hunting vest I have ever worn. All the added pockets and backpack make fore great use on a small hike I will be using this for much more the turkey season.

Love It

Best turkey vest hands down.

Excellent vest

This vest allows you to be mobile and comfortable all at the same time.

Turkey magnet

Put this on and my neighbors Tom broke through a cement wall to check it out. Took one step on a south slope and got attacked by flock of thunder chickens. Can’t get enough turkey tags in my state for this apparatus.

The Best

This vest is the complete solution to everything you need in a functional turkey vest. Every pocket is the right size for all the different calls and gear and the padded built in cushion seat is perfect.
