I switched from a shooting apron to a hunting vest a few years ago, but decided to try this rig to wear over layers and rain gear. Hunted with it this past weekend and it was great! Did about 4 miles of pheasant hunting and it was so comfortable the whole time I could hardly tell it was there. I’m 6’ 2” 215lbs and it was a great fit, with lots of belt-holes left over for adjustment. The pouches are sturdy and roomy with flaps that are hefty enough not to flop around when unsnapped. Way more than enough room for 25 shells on one side (you could probably get 50 in there) and spent hulls on the other, and the zippered pocket is perfect for my hunting license. The fabric loop to which the flap snap is attached is a great touch, and was a great place to clip a mini carabiner for my ear-pro case. Quality materials, nicely constructed. Got a little rain during the hunt, and the waxed canvas worked just fine. I’d prefer the rear pouch to be bigger - hard to fit more than a couple of pheasants in it, but probably plenty big for smaller birds - but no complaints at all, really. A nice, solid piece of kit that I would recommend to anyone. If you don’t need a full complement of gear (multiple water bottles, electronics, leash, etc.) this is a fantastic lightweight option.
