Make sure you get the 'kickstand' version if you want the metal frame back rest...It's a few extra bucks but well worth it. Not to mention that the vest has very well thought out pocket layout for all your calls and T-PEE etc.

I think it will fit you fine Strum.
I have my back legs extended about an inch or so and locked down. I can sit and hold my shotgun with no tree comfortably or sit against a tree with the legs folded in. I am hoping I can get away with no adjustments in the field this way as things happen fast when running N gunning.

this is a slick idea ..I hoping ill like it..for me im so used to carrying a back pack and a ground blind its going to be a new thing. I can see where ill be able to blend in some spots never could before with out a blind. itll be a learning curve :D

I have half a closet filled with packs and vests and such. I just don't like backpacks.
Still go back to my load bearing rig. Based on a system like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blackhawk-Load- ... 1872370949
Attached to the suspenders is knife, compass and small fire and first aid kit. At the back I attached one of those triangle pads to sit(straps and magnet type).
It came off a cheap turkey vest (the most uncomfortable thing I've ever worn).
On the belt are various pouches I can quickly change out for whatever I'm doing.
I slide the pouches to the back when walking, slide to the front to sit.

The Tactical Tat'r looks cool though, might just give that a try.

I got my TT kickstand vest yesterday and had a chance to play around with it this morning.
I have to say its pretty dang cool.. it took me a minuet to figure out the kickstand part but once I did I can say its sweet!!
granted im only tryin it in my living room but I can sit on the floor and lean back very comfortably . the cushion is nice and thick and the vest feels good to walk in or sit. I fell like ill have all the pockets ill need to and they are all well placed . so far im giving it a 10.
so I thought I would give yall a pic..thinking my camo may need a ittle work not sure.

Camo looks just fine to me. :lol:
I knew you would like the vest. I wish it had shell loops but they fit nicely in that zip pocket on the leading edge on the right side for me.

For the life of me I can't get my seat to flip up and stay. I am just going to tuck mine up under the vest. Works fine that way.
