Gear Up This Spring: Turkey Vests and Gear You Don’t Want to Miss at NWTF

On the show floor at the NWTF’s 50th Convention and Sport Show, there’s seemingly endless options of quality products to aid in your spring pursuits.

Stay comfortable and organized in Banded’s Air Elite Turkey Vest, now available in Realtree’s Advantage Classic pattern. Despite being a minimalist, lightweight turkey vest, the Air Elite still offers ample storage for all turkey hunting essentials. The brushed tricot construction repels water and is quiet. This seat is slim but substantial enough and clips to the back to deploy and stow.

Available in Mossy Oak’s Bottomland and Full Foliage, Chêne’s Deception Turkey Vest is a well-thought-out turkey vest. Despite being low-profile, the vest has a variety of purpose-built pockets that allows you to tote all the essentials and more into the woods, including specific call pockets, a zippered fly-down wing compartment and designed to add in a hydration line. The seat is comfortable and deploys and stows seamlessly.

Lacrosse had their new Burly Aero on display on the show floor. The boot represents a whole new generation in construction and performance from Lacrosse. The AeroForm ETPU midsole technology absorbs impact, returns energy and maintains consistent cushioning. A stabilizing oversized X-shank provides support, while the lightweight outsole delivers traction. This boot is ready for the spring season.

Designed for turkey hunters, this ALPS OutdoorZ-NWTF chair is comfortable and keeps you low and ready. It’s lightweight but feels quality made, and its compact folding design allows for fast setup and takedown. This comfy chair is perfect for when it’s time to put the calls to the side and simply wait for that hard-headed gobbler to make his way to your setup.

Paying homage to the NWTF’s JAKES (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Skill) program, Mossy Oak is bringing back a collaborative Mossy Oak-NWTF vest for the young hunters. Adorned with the classic NWTF-JAKES patch, Mossy Oak revamped this vest in Bottomland.

Nomad’s new Rub Line shirt and pant are a great kit for when the mornings are still cool and something with a little more weight helps bite the chill. Constructed from durable, mid-weight cotton, the Rub Line collection keeps things comfortable and quiet. The button-down shirt features durable washed canvas, an interior sunglass wipe, double chest pockets and is composed of 98% cotton and 2% spandex.

New in First Lite’s Darkwater pattern, the Treeline Turkey Vest is lightweight and offers exceptional versatility, from long sits to runnin’ and gunnin’.

This heavy-duty case is perfect for both carrying your prized scattergun and measuring beards and spurs. It accommodates shotguns up to 52" in overall length.

Originally designed for fishing, Marsupial’s Multipack easily finds its place in the turkey woods. The main compartment is big enough to fit most medium-sized binos. The two stretch slip pockets on the front of the pack are perfect for pot calls, and the two small stretch pockets on each side are great for mouth calls. This versatile pack will be as practical in the turkey woods as it will be for rest-of-the-year use.
