ALPS OutdoorZEnforcer Hunting Vest

This is going to be as comfortable as you are ever going to be hunting! You can sit your fat ass on a cactus and you don't care. Sit back and relax.

I've used this on several predator hunts. Works perfectly, wish I bought this along time ago.

Took this predator hunting and I couldn't be more pleased with its main function. The seat is comfortable and sturdy. However, the backpack is quite small. No drink holder. No room for putting a ruck sack over it. Can't loosen it enough to put another backpack underneath it. I would love to see a model with more storage. If you're walking within distance of your car, this will certainly serve your purposes. Longer treks? Not so much.

Awesome

Pack seemed nice for the price. Good storage, quality zippers & materials, comfortable seat. Purchased in May 2023, never used. Planning to go sit for some coyotes this weekend, thought I’d get it out & get it set up. Dry run on the leg extensions went awry. First time I sat down on the pad & leaned back… *SNAP*!!!… one of the legs broke. Only thing holding it onto the pack now is the elastic shock cord. Worthless for it’s main purpose. And of course it’s well out of the 30-day return period, so I’m simply out $190. Doubt I’ll use the pack for anything else, unless I can somehow remove the worthless external metal leg system. May just take the seat cushion with me this weekend. And before assumptions are made, I’m 5’10” & 195#… not used to stuff breaking on me in this fashion, for sure. Wanted to like this product. Total bust for me. YMMV.

Was finally able to use it this past weekend. It was comfortable and has plenty of storage. The only problem I had is the legs would not stay extended. No matter how tight I would tighten them they would still slide back up. My friend has the same pack and has no problem. I was able to make due with what I had but I am kinda disappointed in the quality of the leg system.

Not a ton of bag room itself. But very good glassing. Colder weather hunts probably need more bag room.

Had enough room for my 3l bladder the main compartment isn't very big. I was able to bring cleaning knives, wipes, bladder, thermacel and a mre. That pretty much took up the whole compartment. Getting the bladder in around the frame is a pain. Seat is pretty comfortable and I stopped trying to adjust the legs I just leave them on the shortest setting. The nut for one of the clips loosen ups while walking so you have to keep tightening it to get the lever to stay tight enough that when you lock it down and lean back it doesn't let the leg slide.Just shy of a year the zippers stopped working on the main compartment. They still slide but will no longer close the the main compartment. Was told it's a wear item and not a warranty part. So at this point the pack is useless.

I first fell in love with the idea of a backpack that turns into a seat. On my first outing I discovered that he material for the seat isn't waterproof and it was a rainy day. So I was sitting on a wet cushion before long. I use it for deer and moose hunting, not for the varmint 'design' it says it is designed for. The backpack is very small so for cold days, when you want to pack an extra layer, it is not possible. Overall for the price I think I'm better with a larger backpack and carry a mini folding chair. The one good part is the metal frame, it is very easy to spread the weight on your back, but the capacity being small there isn't much weight to carry. It is a specialized type of back pack that might fit your need to walk a lot and have a proper rest when sitting. But you are sitting on the ground. I can only give it a 3/5.
