RE: Primos Bow Vest anyone?
Personally I don't ever see myself using one. Not that I have a problem with the primos guys at all, but for me( weekend warrior at best) I sometimes ask myself,"How much stuff do I REALLY NEED to take with me??" I also think that it could possibly be somewhat of a hinderance.

RE: Primos Bow Vest anyone?
I have used one for 2 years...Previously I had used a fannypack and before that a backpack...I prefer the vest...Every pocket is accessable and all your stuff is out of the way when you pack in your tree stand...seems that a fannypack was always sliding down my fanny and always in the way of packing in the tree stand...Plus...unless you slide a fanny pack around to the front you have to remove it and a backpack to retrieve anything...
I wear mine all hunting season...If you hunt with a inline, you have plenty of pocketsto include one for quick loads and 209s, one with a baggie with cleaning supplies, etc...They work well...
PS...Even used during turkey season...used vest for calls, gloves, mask etc...And my backpack for decoys, attached a butt pad to my pants belt and I was ready to go...

personally i don't like them. i found they make me sweat walkin in and they it seemed bulky in the stand with all the hunting goodies. bino's range finders, calls, blah blah blah that we can't do without. i prefer a backpack and then hang it on a tree.

I agree with jrob_bfdit is bulky and heavy. I tried a fanny pack and a back pack and I prefer the fanny pack becasue I usually am carrying a climber and a back pack would have to be carried...

I have one. I love it. I only use it when the temps are right.....but when they are (Sept.-Oct).....it's the only thing you need to take in the woods with you.....besides your bow. Safety harness goes on UNDER it.....it is NOT bulky (very light-weight).....and I see NO need for a backpack in those temps (I hunt in NC....and use it during the early to mid-season). I'm hunting in pretty tight qusrters....so seldom do I use binocs (but I also have them on a separate harness)......and the vest is EASILY able to carry everything else I need.

RE: Primos Bow Vest anyone?
I already use the S.O.P Supreme harness vest, so a second vest might be a little overkill on vests.......
I wish my Supreme had front pockets though. Might have to try and sew a couple on it. That should be good.[:-]
