Mag Turkey Vest 1

Badlands has released its Mag Turkey Vest, purpose-built for run-and-gun turkey hunters. At the center of the Mag Turkey Vest is its updated magnetic seat system. The Fidlock magnetic attachment allows quick deployment of the seat and reattachment when it's time to move. Meanwhile, the Cordura-reinforced seat features three layers of foam to maximize comfort and durability while remaining low-profile when stowed.

The Mag Turkey Vest boasts a lightweight, breathable construction with a brushed, burr-resistant outer fabric finished in a water-resistant coating. The material stays quiet in close quarters and will hold up in unpredictable spring conditions. Despite weighing just 2 pounds 8 ounces, the Mag Turkey Vest still promises to deliver storage, mobility and real-world comfort.

The vest maintains the pocket layout of the original Badlands Turkey Vest, refined for fast access. A silent Fidlock magnetic box call pocket includes a fabric divider to eliminate noise from a stowed call. External slate call pockets allow quick reach when timing matters. A vented mouth-call pocket promotes airflow, helping calls dry between setups. Shell loops, striker loops, and zippered storage pockets keep essential gear organized without excess bulk.

The fit of the vest has been updated with a fully adjustable, one-size-fits-all system that accommodates a broader range of body types. The Mag Turkey Vest is covered by the Badlands Unconditional Lifetime Warranty. To learn more about it, visit badlandsgear.com.
