Tryin to decide between the knight and hale or the alps vest! Has any one used either? The knight and hale is the lightest! But I like the alps because of slate pockets have zippers. But I don’t like the big bag on the back of the alps. Any recommendations on either also can they back bag be removed

I like the knight and hale r&g 200. I’ve only used it a few times at the start of the season, then had to switch back to my old one to break a jinx. I plan on going back to the knight and hale for my western travels.

I’m undecided just because of no zippers for pot calls on the knight and hale! The alps is on sale for 100 shipped but also is 4 lbs heavier. I have never wore a vest why I’m leading towards something light and not bulky

Do like I did on my Alps and take that worthless frame out of it.

You can also go to Hobby Lobby and buy some 3/4 woven elastic band and paracord buckles. Take a male and female buckle and attach them to the existing buckles for the seat. Then double up the elastic between the two buckles. Once you get it adjusted like you like it you can flip the seat down and back up like the Tactical Tat'r vest and you won't have to deal with those magnets and buckles again.

I was telling my buddy about the way the seat did on the Tat'r on a trip to Walter Craigs in Montgomery and he said Hobby Lobby would have everything we needed to do that. We got back to camp and he had it done in like 5 minutes.

You won’t find a better run and gun vest than what atoler said...I used to never use a vest because I hadn’t found one to fit my style that didn’t slow me down...my pot calls don’t move an inch in the mesh holders they have if you are worried about that...I also added a water bladder that i can keep in or take out depending on if I am doing a lot of miles that day...you won’t regret buying it

My vest has a ton of pockets. I'm too afraid I'll forget something I need. And all of my turkey hunting is "run and gun".

Look at knight and Hale’s website. They make a pot call holder called a “turkey burger” that snaps right on to the MOLLE straps on the RNG 200 vest. They cost about $10 I think. That and a $10 water bladder makes it the best vest I’ve found if you like to travel light.

I finished my Alabama season off with Ms Green's Turkey Satchel. I've always been a vest hunter but since using the satchel the first time I've not wore any of my vests. I have a Alps I modified and put inner tube cushion on, UA vest and a couple of Super Elites. Not saying I wont use a vest again but the satchel is a nice hot weather Run and Gun option.

I have a Run and Gun 300 and I love it!!! I keep my slate call in one of the mesh pot call holders, but I keep my glass call in a zippered pocket on the opposite side of the chest...I’ve always despised a vest with that big pouch on the back...With this RNG 300 vest, I’m able to carry a real turkey wing for fly downs, a real fan (folded up), and my collapsible Montana decoys all in the cinch-tight straps on the outside of the backpack portion of the vest

Well I just ordered the run and 200 be here Monday. Just in time to hunt rest seedy. With it. Thanks fellas go the input

If any of yall want one PM me . I have a new one I'll let go $70.

I have an Alpse vest that I purchased from Gander Outdoors for $67 and I'm very pleased with it.

I have the rng 200 and like it due to its adjustability. Im 6' 175lb and most vests swallow me.

How is the cushion on the 200? Mine will be in Tommorow

It's as good as any of the other ones I've used. Vest is low profile and quiet. Material seems pretty durable too with good zippers.
