Our Upland Guide Strap Vest was built for trekking miles in steep, rough country for the opportunity to put up a few coveys. It can comfortably carry a day's supply of shells and gear plus a limit of birds. The wide, padded waist belt bears the weight on your hips, not your shoulders. The shoulder straps feature an adjustable sternum strap for stability and are low in bulk to avoid interfering with a solid gun mount. Plenty of pockets handle the gear needed when the hunt takes you miles from basecamp. Inside the game bag are full-height pockets for extra layers and a hydration bladder. On the exterior are large pockets for clothing layers, first-aid supplies, or food. The shell pockets easily hold a box of shells and are placed to the sides for fast access and unrestricted leg motion while climbing. Their interior hides zippered security pockets for a phone, keys or wallet, and their exterior has open-stow pockets for small gear. Exterior cinch-top water bottle pockets are sized for 32-oz. water bottles. The lined rear game bag easily carries a limit of gamebirds and its structured base eases loading. It zips open for cleaning and features daisy-chained webbing attachment points for strapping on extra gear. Front and rear D-rings for attaching whistles, transmitters, or additional accessories.
