February 25, 2025 – Dixon, CA – Kuiu, a leader in high-performance hunting gear, proudly announces the release of the Rival Turkey Vest, designed to address one of the most common frustrations in turkey hunting; comfortably setting up in any terrain. Built with the active hunter in mind, the vest integrates two patent-pending innovations: the BackTrack deployable seat and the LeanLock back support system, ensuring hunters can move swiftly and set up without compromise.
The BackTrack deployable seat system provides an easy-to-deploy, comfortable seat against cold, hard, or wet ground. It slides back up and securely stows behind the hunter’s back when not in use, with the option for removal. The LeanLock back support system includes zip-out webbing straps with boot stirrups, which allow hunters to lean back and sit comfortably without needing to rest against a tree, perfect for any terrain turkeys call home.
Engineered for ultimate functionality, the vest features purpose-built pocketing, including a box call holder, slate/pot call holder, and organization for mouth calls. Additionally, the backpack offers ample organization for extra gear and hydration, while the included decoy/game carry bag with shoulder straps ensures easy transport and setup.
“The Rival Turkey Vest is a full-featured turkey hunting vest with a deployable seat and an active back support system, allowing hunters to set up comfortably in any cover,” says Kevin Wilkerson, Kuiu’s VP of Brand Marketing. “With the deployable seat and active back support system, hunters can remain mobile while carrying everything they need for a successful hunt.”
The Rival Turkey Vest is now available at kuiu.com.
