Avid turkey hunters take their turkey tools very serious. The preseason drill is to load the vest with the best of the best in gear and tools to get the job done when going head to head with a gobbler.
If you’re looking for the latest in new turkey hunting products for the season ahead, we’ve got you covered. This year’s lineup emphasizes smarter storage, improved comfort, advanced performance materials, and unique calls to close the distance.
Read on for a look at the new turkey hunting gear for 2026.
Avian-X Ridge Runner Turkey Vest
Built for comfort first, the Avian-X Ridge Runner Turkey Vest is all about ergonomic performance. Its padded, fold-down seat is thicker and more supportive than most on the market, making it a strong choice for long sits over roosted birds or stubborn afternoon field birds. Weight distribution is carefully engineered so the vest feels balanced even when fully loaded.
Pockets are laid out nicely to separate mouth calls from other calls, strikers, tools, and other gear. The vest is constructed with durable, abrasion-resistant materials that stand up to thick brush and provide you with plenty of performance season after season. ($179)
Finisher Chest Pack
The Finisher Chest Pack is Finisher’s answer to the minimalist craze sweeping through turkey hunting. Unlike traditional vests that wrap around the torso, this chest pack keeps everything front-facing and close to the body. Its sleek profile reduces noise and bounce while you hike, making it ideal for hunters who cover unfamiliar ground at first light.
Built with rugged yet quiet fabric, the pack offers intuitive storage for strikers, mouth calls, locator calls, and even rangefinders or phones. Internal dividers keep items organized without digging, and silent magnetic closures help you stay stealthy when unloading contents. It’s not designed for high-volume gear haulers, but for aggressive, mobile hunters who want lightweight efficiency without compromising accessibility. ($99)
Marsupial Multipack in Full Foliage
The Marsupial Multipack reinterprets the modular pack concept for turkey hunters with a fresh focus on adaptability. Marsupial’s signature design carries securely against the chest, but it’s the plug-and-play pouch options that really shine. You can attach additional components for water bottles, film gear, rangefinders, or even extra ammunition and turkey calls.
The new Full Foliage pattern is optimized for spring environments with full green tones that break up your outline in timber edges and and around pastures. The pack’s structured build helps protect delicate calls from compression and damage, while strategically-placed internal dividers keep gear arranged for fast retrieval. Hunters who enjoy tweaking and tailoring their load will appreciate how easily this pack adjusts for changing hunts throughout the season. ($232)
Dirty Bird Broadhead
G5 collaborated with Chris Bee to develop the Dirty Bird broadhead for turkey hunting. It’s being touted as the ultimate 3-blade decapitation broadhead to have in your quiver when the spring season arrives.
The large 3” cutting diameter offer unmatched decapitation ability while the tip and ferrule design act as a blunt force tip to prevent the broadhead from over-penetrating while doing maximum damage. The blades fold forward to accommodate quiver fitment and the magnetic blade retention system allows this broadhead to act as a fixed blade when the time comes for action. The Dirty Bird weighs in at 125 grains and is sold in a 2-pack. ($69.95)
Finisher BT Strap Vest
The Finisher BT Strap Vest takes a bold approach with a vest that’s more harness than heavy fabric. The breathable straps minimize heat buildup in warm weather, while the integrated seat cushion gives you a comfortable perch when you settle in for long sits. It’s lighter in weight than many conventional vests but still offers nice storage for multiple calls, tools, and accessories.
This design shines on hunts where you’re moving between roosts or glassing ridges at first light, keeping you cool without compromising essential storage. Some traditional vest users may miss extra pocket volume, but for hunters who prioritize mobility and comfort in warmer climates, the BT Strap Vest delivers a smart balance. ($149)
Chene Deception Turkey Vest
Built for hunters who move fast and pack smart, the Chêne Gear Deception Turkey Vest delivers streamlined performance without unnecessary bulk. It’s designed to carry exactly what you need for an aggressive approach in the turkey woods, with purpose-built pockets that organize a full lineup of calls and essential gear while keeping everything tight and quiet.
Front quick-access pockets and large interior dump compartments keep critical items within easy reach. On the back, two full-length zippered wing pockets handle larger gear, while a central mesh pocket with adjustable webbing secures a decoy, extra layers, or even a harvested bird. An upper backpack-style compartment features a silent-closing lid and hydration compatibility, and a lower pass-through pocket is specifically built to hold a fly-down wing.
You’ll find the comfort matches its capability. Foam-padded shoulder straps and a cushioned back panel distribute weight evenly, even on long hikes out with a bird. The one-size-fits-all design adjusts easily at the shoulders and waist, and dual magnetic-guided clasps lock the fit in place. A quick-deploy seat tucks neatly into its own compartment, maintaining the vest’s clean, low-profile design. ($350)
Spring Legion Turkey Hunting Vest
The Spring Legion Turkey Hunting Vest is built to solve real problems in the turkey woods with a high-and-tight fit that eliminates bulk while maximizing mobility. Weighing just 2.5 pounds, it features a breathable back panel to keep you cool on long hikes without sacrificing durability.
Its MOLLE-compatible design allows full customization — add a hydration pack, Thermacell holder, rangefinder pouch, or extra storage, or keep it minimalist for aggressive run-and-gun hunts. The no-slide seat cushion provides stable comfort for long sits without shifting or adding unnecessary bulk.
Adjustable shoulder straps ensure a dialed-in fit over any layering system and include hose keepers for hydration tubes or quick-access gear. Constructed from rugged materials, this vest is made to handle tough terrain and multiple seasons in the field. ($149)
HS Strut Elite 6 Series Mouth Calls
The H.S. Strut Elite 6 Series Batwing 3-Pack is a collection of three premium, three-reed diaphragm turkey calls designed for versatile, realistic, and raspy vocalizations.
Developed by hunting legends, Paul Butski and Mark Drury, these calls are user-friendly, featuring a 0.003-inch latex stack and including the Offset Batwing, Hybrid Batwing, and Spur Cut models. ($24.99)
HS Strut Thunder Twister Gobble Call
Want to add a gobble call to your bag of tricks this spring? Check out the latest from HS Strut. Their new Thunder Twister Gobble Call features camo-colored bellows and Infinity Latex for improved sound quality and increased volume.
It’s an easy-to-use design that allows any turkey hunter to quickly produce the sound of a gobbling turkey with one-handed calling. A twist-on silencer restricts sound when you’re on the move to prevent unwanted sounds before you’re ready. ($18.99)
Knight & Hale VersaTube
The Knight & Hale VersaTube is a slick new tube call designed for hunters who want one call to do it all. Built with the help from legendary turkey hunter, Harold Knight, this tube call is packed with features you won’t find in any other tube call. It produces a wide range of sounds—from sharp hen yelps and gobbles, to realistic jake calls and even goose honks.
Its patent-pending design features a rotatable, removable lip-stop that gives hunters greater versatility and control, letting you fine-tune your calling for any situation. It’s one call that is sure to set itself apart from other calls and sounds in the spring turkey woods. ($29.99)
Rolling Thunder Trumpet
The crew at Rolling Thunder jumps into a new call category this spring with the launch of their all-new Trumpet turkey call. It’s built off a time-tested design and collaborates with precision manufacturing to deliver consistent tone, control, and reliability in the woods.
It’s an old-school turkey call concept with a modern spin that delivers a unique sound that turkeys simply can’t resist. There’s just nothing quite like the sound of a trumpet call for turkeys. It’s just different. And that different sound is what consistently results in more turkeys called into range each spring. The Rolling Thunder Trumpet produces clean yelps, sharp cuts, and soft clucks while providing excellent airflow control and responsiveness. ($200)
Finisher Lightweight Performance Series Hoodie
The Finisher Lightweight Performance Series Hoodie is built for warm spring mornings, fast moves, and close encounters in the turkey woods. Feather-light and highly breathable, its moisture-wicking polyester fabric dries quickly to keep you cool during high-output hunts and long sits alike.
A 3-piece articulated hood moves naturally with your head and shoulders—no binding, no restricted vision when glassing or calling—while the built-in facemask adds instant concealment when birds close the distance. Interior Lycra thumbholes keep sleeves locked in place during crawls or when shouldering your shotgun, and flatlock seams eliminate chafing for all-day comfort.
Ideal for early-season hunts, mobile run-and-gun tactics, and hunters who demand maximum performance with minimal bulk, this hoodie keeps you cool, concealed, and focused when it matters most. ($54.99)
Chene Vale 105 Synthetic Hoodie
The Chene Vale 105 Synthetic Hoodie is built for spring turkey hunts that turn hot, humid, and mobile in a hurry. Constructed from ultra-breathable lightweight mesh, it wicks away moisture with ease and features a front half-zip for added ventilation when the pace picks up. The fitted hood and integrated facemask provide full concealment when birds close the distance, while Agion Active X2 odor control helps reduce scent signature in tight setups.
A zippered chest pocket secures small essentials, integrated thumbholes make layering seamless, and four-way stretch fabric ensures unrestricted movement. Designed to beat the heat as a standalone piece, the Vale 105 also serves as a versatile base layer all season long. ($120)
LaCrosse Burly Aero
The LaCrosse Burly Aero Boot builds on decades of rubber boot experience in the turkey woods, reengineered with modern underfoot innovation to deliver lasting comfort in the field. Its AeroForm ETPU midsole absorbs impact, returns energy, and maintains consistent cushioning from the first step to the last, helping reduce fatigue when long miles start to add up.
You’ll find a stabilizing oversized X-Shank adds confidence on uneven terrain, while the lightweight Burly Delta outsole provides dependable traction across changing ground conditions. Finished with hand-laid, waterproof ZXT Rubber, the Burly Aero delivers the durability hunters expect in the lightest, most comfortable Burly yet. ($170)
