I went through 2 of those this spring with the same issues as everyone else. I had been using the old se3 for the last 10 years or so but finally wore it out. I ended up getting a cabelas tactical tatr' 2 and it held up well so far

Update: So, yesterday I got home from work and there was a cardboard box on my front porch. Ah, the turkey vest! Opened the box, unzipped the shell pouch, and I'll be damned, the shell holder stitching is nonexistent on one side.  I'm sending this "new" vest and the old one back and telling them to try again, but based on the comments above, plus my problems, I bought a crappy vest. I tried to find a Russell SE 3 online, but no luck...

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. They're obviously in the business of selling mediocre products at best...not making a really quality product. They've got their name and camo patterns to cruise off of. Quality is just not priority. I've got a mossy oak vest that's two seasons of hunting hard and i've got a couple holes here and there and one of the zippers on the pot call pouch broke. I bought one of those thick insulated camo jackets for around the $60 neighborhood and as soon as I put my hands in the pockets the stitching started ripping.

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?? I just saw this thread. I bought one at the convention. I had zippers separating from the fabric after 3 hunts and my seat was no longer connected after 10. I may or may not contact them. I'm not sure I want another one

Wore a Super Elite II (by russell) for 3 yrs. As yal know i put alot of time on one & it help up great but eventually faded. So last summer I bought a brand new Super Elite 3 and it started falling apart while i was putting my gear into it. I got extremely lucky and found one of the original NWTF Super Elites in mint condition in Original Green Lead on Facebook for sale. Snatched it up and haven't looked back. Absolutely love it.
Turkeys be damned.

Like many of you I have gone through my share of turkey vests. At the end of the '2016 season, I purchased a Knight's hands free vest. Although not cheap, it is a quality product, very adjustable and is not as hot as the SE. I would recommend taking a look at it; because after using it this season, it is the first time that I can remember being satisfied with the functionality of a vest when the season was over.
