Got the load bearing vest at WSS a couple years back and found it to do the job, then i wanted something with a bird pocket, so i picked a Primos gobbler vest, and find it a bit better. Is a bit more set up for hunting, and liek someone has mentioned, has a nice ass pad for sitdowns, that clips up out of the way for walks. Ample pocket room, and the main pouch is big enough for a tukey, so it holds bigger items well (like rope, a heavy jacket, etc.)
Wrong forum but...load bearing vest for hunting?

LL Bean, Orvis & Cabela's, all have good load bearing vests for upland hunters ... all are on-line, all have toll free order numbers and all are great to deal with.
This vest comes in blaze orange and has the ability to add a pack if you so choose.
I bought the Primos blaze orange vest last year and really liked it. Lots of storage!

Hey thanks for posting. Did you buy that direct, or did you find a Canadian Dealer?
That vest is pretty good MLRS BUT. Im not thrilled with velcro closures. Velcro is no ####ing good for hunting as its way too noisy. If that vest has all zipper closures i would probably buy it. Thanks for the link. Maybe i will email them and get them to build one with zippers throughout.

Never got around to buying it. I oooohed and aaawed about for a while but the same reason zedex has brought forward is why I never went with it. If they would do it with zippers I would be all over it like a fat kid on a smarty.
