Looking for an upland vest
Quality made with game bag and shell loops/pockets? Anyone have any recommendations/leads? Some orange color for visibility.

I like my Alps Outdoorz X Upland Vest. It has a large game bag, some extra pockets, and it has stood up well over the years.

I use two; for release sites and over a jacket an orange front and back mesh Orvis, advantage is big back game vest with separate zippered pocket for license etc. but the chest strap is too low for me, I should get another strap sewed on just above nipples to fit me well. The orange colour was the purchase (Pheasants Forever banquet) decider (George W quote)
The second is my favorite, a old-time Filson of similar design but no chest strap and it seems to fit better, it just sorta hangs from two straps. I believe it now comes in orange. This one is my go too warm weather vest, so it has not come off the hanger this year yet!!! |
Fogot to mention I like the Orvis zippered back "pocket" for the cable cutters, had a bad experience with snares once. Also make sure there is enuff room for water bottles for u n dog etc.

I have the Filson mesh bag (orange) It’s been great and I’ve used it hard over the past 7-8 years (40-50+ hunts a year). Really quality material. I find that it can hold everything I need (makeshift dog/human first aid kit, pliers/wire snippers, licenses, dog lead, sometimes a collapsible water bowl) in one pocket and then I just load the other up with shells.
Those Final Rise vests do look awesome though. |

I had an underarmour one for years that I loved but dropped a bunch of weight and it was like wearing a tent.
On a quick whim I tried on a huntsheild one at CT this year and bought it. 2 hunts this year with it and it was great. Lots of pockets, good size game bag, has the shell holders you mentioned. It’s mostly a canvas like material on the front but a fair amount of orange up top and on the back. I think it was around $60-$70. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1c055ff54a.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
