Recommendations for Upland Vest Please
Having been away from Upland Bird Hunting for 20 plus years, I need some recommendaions for a good upland vest or coat for grouse hunting. Thanks in advance.

Check out Filson's "Hunting and Shooting" clothes at www.filson.com I have used their products and am more than happy with the quality and durability. Depending on where and when you hunt will effect what attributes you will want; warm or light, brier proof or not.... etc. I'm sure they will have something to meet your needs.
Shop the internet for the best price, you may find a better price? |
Nobody can argue that Filson makes great hunting clothing. But I have used a Dunns upland vest for years and I have come to love it.Light and comfortable with blaze orange on the shoulder areas and a LOT of pockets. Mine is getting along in years but it will have to fall off my back before I will replace it!

The Orvis Strap Vest suits my needs perfectly, from the early hot weather right through the coldest days in January.

I love my Filson wear. But - if you are running dogs while upland hunting - I can also recommend both the Cabales and Pella products Here is the vest I'm wearing with my dogs:
Cabelas Upland Vest And the Pella - as good, but a bit pricier... John |
Take a look at the Beretta upland vests. Well made, roomy, plenty of pockets and nice looking.

Seems there are as many recommendations as there are upland gunners. My vest is from L. L. Bean. It has ample pockets, is blaze orange up top, and has a padded yoke that is very easy on the shoulders and upper back.

I shot with a fellow the other day who was wearing a very simple and classic Carhartt bird vest. I didn't even know they made a bird vest. It was quite old. I have looked at and owned Carhartt products since before they became pricey. Has anyone else seen this vest?

Bill, I have a Carhartt strap vest as well as a bird hunting coat (no orange). Been with me for 25 years or so. A friend still uses his ratty old overalls with shell loops. I think Carhartt field gear was quite common.
