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. mad 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...

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.

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.

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.
