I bought the Tactical Tat'r II vest last year.  All in all I'm pleased with it...

Pros: Good soft seat, plenty of space for carrying calls, well made, etc..

Cons: The vest feels like it sits a bit high on the chest.  I'm a short fella so the pockets sit across my abdomen rather than a bit lower as on most vests.   I eventually got used to it, but it was an adjustment from the Bucklick Creek vest I used before...

East is East and Vest is Vest............is a vest. Only so much you can do to one.

Is the material tough and durable or is it thin weight junk like most others.  I currently have the MO Dixon LE and that sucker is built like a tank.  However, I hate the fact the back has little to no padding.

That's the vest I use the most!!  the first one I got ripped on me right beside the stitching in the material, and I left a trail of calls, but Cabela's replaced it no problem, the second one has been trouble free The seat is awesome, and it's easy to organize your calls, but it lacks a compartment for a long box. If you use one, it's best to add on a holster for one.

I got the holster thing for a paddle call covered   I don't often wear a vest due to heat but like one for my gloves, mask, clippers and other small items.  However I want a good padded back and seat and strong durable material.

Jason that's the vest I bought last year and LOVE IT.  The holster conceals my hen boxes great!!!!

Seat is wonderful and it held together great.  I stopped by Cabelas on our way to Kansas and I had another one picked out.  Put that one on.. .and boom.  I had been carrying my long box in my other vest, but this one doesn't have a good place to put it... so that just made me realize how much I love your longbox holster 

Win win in my opinion.  Holds two pot callers, gps right at your disposal too! 

Seat on the thing is great.  I used to carry around a fold up seat because my darn feet would go to sleep.  The extra 5lbs would kill me.

Jason what do you mean you got the holsters covered   I didn't see you had posted this before I responded

5 lbs!!! . What are you carrying? ...a Barca-Lounger?!?
The little stool I've been carrying doesn't even weigh TWO!!

Dragonfly, don't know much about the vest but like the looks of it. I got away from vests several years ago and cut the weight way back with a fanny pack and tote a stool with me now.  The vests that were out there when I moved away from them were too big! If there was a pocket, I'd fill it up and the darned thing woul weigh pert near 30lbs! I couldn't get Mo to come down on the price of his second- hand wheelbarrow, so I tried a couple of different utility belts. They work pretty good, but now I'm starting to get what Jeff Foxworthy calls an 'old man's butt'. I've lost a few lbs and can't cinch it down tight enough any more and still breathe. I've actually had the thing to slip down around my ankles while moving from place to place!

I like the looks of this vest. Might have to try it out.

Thanks for pointing it out

Got the vest, the extra padding in the back is great. Like others, wish it had a place to hold a longbox. I just carry mine in one of the large pockets, kinda a pain but best vest I have worn in a long time. Give it a A rating.

Get in touch with Dragonfly and he help you with the longbox problem, he makes the #1 leather holster, it's like a tank and looks good too!

I no longer use a vest, to big and cumbersum. Now, just a T back, Yelper, and an Arrow or two.
