Hydration Turkey Vest

[kbgibby]

Has anyone seen a turkey vest with a hydration bladder built in? I stitched a long "pocket" inside mine, offset to the right and used the bladder from my Fieldline backpack. It works fine, but it would be nice to find one designed that way. Because it's usually warmer in the spring and I'm moving a lot, I like having more water along that's easy to drink and doesn't slosh much. I'd use the backpack, but like having all the handy pockets on the vest.

Three months and counting 'til 4th season!!!!

A turkey vest, no. A backpack, yes. Generally I just carry a small bottle of water with, it seems to do the trick in the turkey blind.

Last page of the new Redhead Spring catalog Has a "Highback Turkey Lounger" which is designed to handle a hydration bladder. $69.95 for the vest, 2 liter bladder- $12.95 sold separately.

I think BadLands has a Turkey vest that has a bladder that you can add to it. I'll check.

Nope. They have a vest and water straps separately.

I've been using a Camelbak hydration bladder in my turkey backpack for several seasons now, and I sometime wonder how I got along without out. For those with packs without a sleeve, Camelback makes what they call the "Unbottle". It is an insulated thin Cordura sleeve with insulation and it comes with a hydration bladder, tube, and mouthpiece. The sleeve keeps the bladder from getting punctured in your backpack and also keeps the water cool on the warm days. The whole set up costs about $30, and it well worth it.
