Spring is here, and with that, turkey season. Avian-X, the industry leader in turkey-hunting innovation, has released its latest innovation just in time. Built specifically for mobile, run-and-gun-style hunters, Avian presents two new releases: the Ridge Runner and the Ridge Runner X turkey vests.
These vests are tailored to run-and-gunners, for those who don’t wait for a gobbler to come to them, but rather, take matters into thier own hands. The standard Ridge Runner and Ridge Runner X models are both finished in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland camo, which is a classic turkey hunting choice.
Loaded With Features
They are durabily build and loaded with pockets. One of the coolest things about these two models is that each pocket is designed to firmly hold a specific turkey call, but while also being easily accessible. The vests feature Comfort Plus padding in the shoulder straps and back panel, paired with a magnetic quick-deploy seat with a molded 2″ high-density foam pad to deliver supportive comfort right where it’s needed most. Adjustable bungees and waist straps provide a customizable fit, whether hiking, stalking, or hustling to head off fired-up gobblers.
While the Ridge Runner delivers everything a turkey hunter would need in a vest, the Ridge Runner X delivers even more. This vest builds on this stealthy, run-and-gun-ready platform with added warmth, organization, and carry capacity. Four internal zippered pockets keep small items secure, while dual fleece-lined handwarmer pockets take the edge off chilly mornings. A full-access rear game pouch rounds out the design, offering ample room for a harvested longbeard or hands-free decoy transport during the hike back to the truck.

Run-and-gun hunters need to be able to move quickly with their gear. The Ridge Runner and Ridge Runner X vests make that easy.
“Our Ridge Runner line of turkey vests balances lightweight mobility with smart storage in a unique backpack-style design,” Josh Lomax, Brand Manager, said. “Calls, shells, gloves, remotes for your motion bases, everything has its place, and every pocket serves a purpose. and other essentials right where hunters need them, even during long active days in the field. EVA-molded call pockets cushion and protect, and zippered compartments and internal organizers prevent gear from rattling, shifting, or snagging in thick cover. When it comes to long, active days in the turkey woods, every must-have box is checked.”
