Hard shell pocket is nice for the tube call. Sae someone else request that specifically on another vest review. Not as many tube callers these days but its a cool call that can def get the job done. Nice kit. Good luck this spring 🙏🇺🇲🦃👍
Chief upland turkey vest sales 8 or 10 seperate attatchments for there vest. They are also molle and the same pattern. They will work well for your vest.
My opinion, alps has just about the best vest design on the market… the biggest thing lacking on them, for me anyway, ykk zippers, and just double stitching. Little stuff like you mentioned splitting those huge pockets. I wonder sometimes if they know what they got - it just needs a few things to make it outstanding. I know everyone’s preferences are different, but for my taste, they’re generally the best design. Thanks for the review!
Yes, I like their vest designs. After using it more, they definitely need more molle pouch options. I have since removed the box call and thermacell pouches. My Thermacell kept going out in their pouch for some reason, but doesn't in mine. Like you mentioned, they just need to show a little more attention to detail. Overall, I'm happy with the vest and don't regret the purchase. I appreciate the comment!
@@jbird2246 you got it brother. I've reviewed quite a few Alps items (outdoorz and mountaineering), so far all of it has been really nice. Happy Holidays!
Good review Jbird22. I bought one and really like it. The seat sold me on it and love the seat while hunting. Like the extra pouch in the back below the game bag and the water bladder serves as a storage department. The hard front pouches are nice for push pull or pot calls. Overall like the vest.
Nice review. Appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I agree with the statements above. Double stitching and a few things you mentioned and they would last a long time.
Thanks for the in depth review! Nice to see all the different pouches and what could fit in them. I know you don’t seem to be 100% happy with it, but your review pushed me to buy one. Should have it in time for opening weekend here in GA.
I think you are loading up the game bag with rolls of snuff, boxes of cigarettes, and boxes of cigars. 😂-J/K!! Thanks for the in depth review. Those straps look nice compared to my Alps Grand Slam which I’m about to retire or put second in the lineup. Looking hard at this vest. I don’t carry a ton of calls and that stadium style seat looks comfortable and easy to deploy. Good luck in the Sip this spring. Wrapping it up here in Florida and heading to Georgia in a week to hopefully smash some late season Easterns .🍺👍🏻
Yes, the seat is very comfortable! It's my first vest with a stadium seat and it's an upgrade for sure. -- Rogerssportinggoods.com has on on sale for $99 right now.
I'm not familiar at all with the Nomad so I can't honestly say. After using the Impact Pro for a full season, I can say that I really like it overall. And it's a deal for $99 at Rogerssportinggoods.com

@@jackgreenstalk777 Appreciate it! A tube call is most definitely a staple in my vest.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

I just reviewed this same vest the other day. It is super nice. Good review Jbird.
@@Valorius Appreciate it! It's definitely a quality vest!

Thanks Rob! I can honestly say that after hunting with it all season, the good far outweighs the bad. It's a really nice vest.

Thanks for watching, Tom! One of your tube calls is always going to be in there!

@@jbird2246Great price and free shipping. Thanks!
The stadium set is nice! I have used it twice and it works great!

Have you figured out how to deploy the seat with out unbuckling the front of the vest?
No, I leave the chest buckle fastened but both bottom buckles are unbuckled when I drop the seat.
Can the thermacell pouch be removed and moved to where the box call pouch is?
@@rod675 Yes, it can
Would you recommend this over the nomad bull lounger? I’m torn between the two

@@jbird2246it’s out of stock. Probably a seasonal item
One plus over the bull lounger the impact has got to be lighter weight? I have the original Impact and this can't be too much different in weight?
How is the seat on it
@@carterd0418 The seat is very comfortable. It's a little warm against your back when flipped up but not unbearable.
