The Pursuit Convertible TurkeyVest, from Nomad, is a minimalist but functional vest that can be worn traditionally, or strapped on as a fanny pack. Aimed specifically at run-and-gun hunts, the Pursuit Convertible Vest features two friction call pockets and a zippered storage cargo pocket with striker and shotshell elastic loops, ensuring that essentials are always within reach. Further, the vest boasts a box-call pocket with an adjustable buckle and protective rigid-foam outer shell with a built-in chalk holder and locator call sleeve. An external Thermacell pocket to help fend off unwanted insect attacks is included, and the vest is even loaded with other pockets to house additional mouth calls and other essential gear. It also incorporates a chest pocket for quick access to a rangefinder, GPS or a cell phone. A roll-top gear bag provides ample room for a pullover, snacks or additional gear.
That already sounds like alot of features, but there is still more to the Pursuit Convertible. The vest comes with a removable high-density foam seat for long-lasting comfort. Magnetic attachments help keep it folded and quiet when in stealth mode. Finally, a stowable game bag enables the transport of quarry back to the truck after a successful hunt.
Hunters can choose between two Mossy Oak patterns—Bottomland or Shadow Leaf. For more information, visit nomadoutdoor.com. MSRP: $100
