I was hopeful it was gonna be great but it was even better than that. I had no issues at all for the 2025 spring season and had a blast with it. I was able to go for long (4 hour) sits without issue. The backrest was a game changer for me since I have back problems from a disc injury. This keeps me hunting and keeps me happy doing it! Been using it for hunting other game as well and couldnβt be better. Worth the money Read more

UPDATE on my review below: Sherper's, the seller reached out to me about the ALPs Z turkey vest. Jeremy, to be specific handled my issues by sending me out a new vest within 2 business days of reading my review. I cannot say enough about the customer service he provided. He went above and beyond and took care of me, the customer first and then took the issue up with the manufacturer afterwards. This is how it's supposed to be. Great job Sherper's! Excellent job Jeremy. I purchased this vest on March 30th, 2022 from Amazon as a replacement for my old vest of 15 years which is faded pretty bad. No rips or tears, just faded. After reading all the hype, I decided on the ALPZ Grand Slam. I hunted in the vest 3 times and on my most recent hunt on April 30th, as I went to place my box call back into its pocket, I noticed that the the vest had ripped apart at the seam (see pics). Amazon's website says the NLT return date was April 27th, a mere 3 days before my disaster. I'm not sure who will see this however, I have hopes the ALPS Outdoors will and do the right thing and send me a replacement vest ASAP as the TN turkey season ends in two weeks on May 15th. Read more

Itβs very comfortable wearing and sitting. When sitting it is not adjustable the clamps just fail so itβs 1 angle only. However itβs very comfortable and Iβm not sure Iβd use the adjustment anyway. The phone pocket is pointless as no phone can fit in it. Overall Iβd recommend it, if the phone pocket was different and the frame worked as advertised it would be a 5 star. Read more

I'm in the camp of 'there is no perfect vest'. That's true of this one as well, but it's pretty dog-gone close! I took out the frame immediately. So I can't speak to that component. My biggest complaint-which isn't new if you've done any research on this vest, is how the seat secures. The magnets are pretty much useless if you're trying to walk. The clips for the seat are sturdy and do keep it secured, but it's a bit awkward to snap. Otherwise, I love the pot call pockets, striker pocket is enclosed so they don't fall out. Seat is comfortable, plenty of storage, the water bladder pocket is well done. Really, if they would fix the seat deployment, this would be pretty much perfect. Read more

I received my Alps Grand Slam today. I think the leg adjusts will take some getting used to but, overall, I think this vest. It is comfortable and by adjusting the legs in and out, you can sit in different positions. The large duck feet swivel as well. There is plenty of storage in this sucker too. I really like the silent box call feature as well. No more unnecessary noise while trudging through the woods. There are plenty of pockets and loops for strikers, ammo, pot calls, mouth calls, water resistant cell phone pouch (sadly, my case is too big so it won't quite fit so my license and transport tag and ink pen will go inside it), room for call conditioners and chalks, thermacell, bottled water, folding saw, crow call and headlamp. That's most of my gear anyhow. There's not a whole lot of adjustment straps however, I don't think mine needed too many. The 3" seat cushion felt comfortable for the short time I sat in it. Perhaps a few hours in the woods will tell a different story. The magnets seem to hold ok but, for long or fast running and gunning, I'd use the buckle fasteners anyhow. And speaking of long or fast running and gunning, if you locate a distant long beard and don't want to carry the extra weight of the seat/frame, it detaches pretty quick and easy Read more
