The first of the season, there was a thread about turkey vests and which one folks liked best. A lot of people said they liked the Mossy Oak Super Elite II, and I looked it up and it looked great. I needed a new vest (wanted one?) so I ordered it, the thing arrived before the season started, I thought it had a lot of good features. Some not so good after using a while, which I won't get into, but bottom line, the shell-holder band stitching came loose like the 2nd time I used it, and the last day of the season as I was shouldering my shotgun, I barely caught one of the clips holding the seat up, and it ripped out!! Good news is I contacted Mossy Oak and they immediately got in touch and are sending a "repaired" vest and information on sending mine back to them. Seems like they had some issues with these vests. Anyone else have issues with their Super Elite II??

Yep, all of the mossy oak stuff is crap! Especially the tibbee pants, buttons on all their clothing, whatever their camo dye method is, and that vest. My seat ripped totally off my vest within 2 weeks. Save you some time....I bought the cotton ole Tom vest that looks like the super elite and it tore up on the second day of use. I don't understand how stitching can be as chitty as that stuff is.

Damn. Y'all hard on some vests. I've got the SE3 and I put 25+days/year in the woods and the only problem I've had with mine is it hasn't had as much blood on it as I wanted. I'm on my 4th season and I love it. I bought it because the seat was the thickest I could find for my bony butt.

I bought the new Alps Bottomland vest this season and loved it. Had to take the kickstand frame out of it before I liked it but I really enjoyed it this season.

Man I bought the same vest this year in bottomland and the elastic shell holder did the same thing, also the zipper for the pocket with the shell holder is broken. How did you go about contacting them? store@mossyoak.com or call 662.494.9092. They were nice, and admitted they had had problems like mine with the vest.

Dr. B lol Seriously, Doc, I put shells in the shell holder band the second day I used the vest and noticed they had fallen out at the end of the day. The dang stitching had all come loose! And the clip holding the seat, heck, I barely pulled on it when my gun sling caught on it, and that sucker popped out!! I do like the thick seat, however. The cheap crappy zippers and snaps, not so much...

This is what I use as well. I love mine. Plenty of room in it and it's not hot like a vest.

I'll echo what everyone else has said. The Russell outdoors super elite vest is not even comparable to the pieces of junk mossy oak is putting out now. In one season of use the super elite 3 has had a zipper rip, the front pocket is pulling apart at the corner, and one of the buckles broke off of the seat. They suck. I love the mossy oak patterns but I'm done buying camo from the mossy oak store.
