For over a decade I’ve had a fleece vest from Cabela’s that has a huge pocket in the back making it a backpack essentially. It has pockets in the sides for hand warmers and is nicely put together all the way around.
The sort of thing they probably don’t sell anymore 😡 ? I bet I have the same one. I’ve not seen it for sale since I bought it!!

I wear one of these in the dark green but if I hunted an area requiring orange I'd order one. Lots of pockets and a small pack on the back. I was first introduced to them when I was surveying for the Forest Service. Liked them so well I started hunting with them. vestAre these very quiet? It seems like that duck canvas might be loud?

I bought blaze orange t shirts and sweat shirts and parkas and bibs. No matter what I take off or put on, I'm orange.

I was gifted up a Stormy Kromer for my birthday and so far so good. It won't go over my outerwear though so I picked up a Cabelas Pro Guide model which seems just right for the over layer.

A plain Jane $6 vest from Sportsmans that fits over anything and everything. I have good pockets in whatever I'm wearing under it. Idaho doesn't require orange so if you prefer pink or paisley, that's fine, too. I've used the vest as a signal so my partners can find me. I just get a long stick and put it up in a tree while I'm sitting under it and I've hung it on a sagebrush while I'm in the brush cleaning a deer or elk. Same. Buy expensive clothing that moves moisture, breathes well and then cover with cheap material that does none of that. Not for me. The thinnest, cheapest, mesh vest I can find is what I use.

I have a couple of orange vest. I also have a couple of 4X blaze orange T shirt. They will go over most anything. I used one one year when the temp was warm. Baggy but it worked.

Have used this one in solid orange or blaze orange for years. Mine is an older model with squared-off pockets. This is the vest I'd buy over and over again: https://m.llbean.com/llb/shop/11174...sp=f&attrValue_0=Mossy%20Oak%20BlazeBought one for friend from the fire Dober... he liked it so much he outfitted family with the same.

Read the reviews on this vest. "Because it's illegal, we could only rate it 3 stars." Lol.

I have two of the Cabelas vests with the big pack pocket in the rear. One is straight blaze and the other is blaze camo. Have had them about 20 years. Great quality, but that was before the BP buy out. Don't know if they even offer them anymore.

Elkcountry: I prefer the Filson but on occasion I use my Wall blaze orange vest.
Been using them for years and compared to the crap i see my friends wearing (and quickly destroying!) they were/are well worth the few extra dollars I paid for them.

Read the reviews on this vest. "Because it's illegal, we could only rate it 3 stars." Lol. That's incredible... obviously from the Ozarks  "Illegal in Missouri
We ordered this hunting vest for my son but found out it is illegal to have a camo-print hunter orange vest. So we had to return it. That was a disappointment. Check your hunter rules before purchasing. This was otherwise a very nice, very comfortable vest. But because it is illegal we could only rate it a 3 star."

After they've been washed and worn a couple times they are pretty quiet. They're actually pretty good right out of the box but I washed mine twice before I wore it afield.

In KY, you need a full vest and a hat in hunter orange, and it has to be solid -- no blaze-camo. Lately, I've been scrounging orange vests on ebay. ![[Linked Image from i.ebayimg.com]](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/pAsAAOSwu-FdX1zS/s-l1600.jpg) This one was 2X and cost $10.
