I wondered about the M2, the problem with all of these hybrid concepts vests where you want to buy one thing to do everything...... seems to never really work. I watched one of the THP podcasts where they were talking about the M2 Vest and also calling in general..... not many of them at all are big numbers of calls guys..... it appears that most of them run mouth diaphragms and a pot and peg. Which is minimalist and fine but I like a change up available and probably the old timer in me just thinks you have have a box call. Anyway, with that being said, I've not caried a box call now in several years either because I just don't use them that much anymore. But I agree, a full blown turkey vest should have a good box call pocket with protection of the call and a confortable seat of some kind.Has anyone used the new M2 "built like a tank" turkey vest that can offer feedback? Trying to see if its just me complaining about the pocket layout and comfort factor. I don't own one, but I was able to use one.
Here are some thoughts:
Good:
1. Material is nice and construction is nice.
2. Fit is for average sized humans as well as pro wrestlers
3. US made
Bad:
1. Pockets do not accommodate a box call. Its an awkward struggle at best.
2. Seat. Good for 30 minutes and it flops when cinched (minor annoyance).
Ugly:
1. Comfort. Inadequate seat and lack of back padding make for an uncomfortable sit. Lack of adequate box pocket boggles the mind.
Conclusion: Pass. Call pockets (box call) are not for me. Seat and back pad need to be addressed imo.

I got the Midway USA Full Strut vest in the mail today. Got it loaded up but it’s raining so I haven’t had a chance to use it climbing. Seems like it’s going to work well for me. Going to run it this year before I decide if I want to send it to CGM for the modifications they do.

Currently over 50% off. I use a K&H R&G 200, but for $30, I might have to pick one of these up!
That’s why I pulled the trigger. Came out to $48 and some change after tax and shipping.
