Product Description

This high quality upland field bird vest is made of tough, durable cotton canvas that will hold up to the nastiest habitat you can muster. The zippered pockets open up allowing you to carry boxes of shells or other necessities. 16 elastic shell holders on the front keep you ready for the flush and the blood-proof game bag won't ruin your clothing when you fill it up with your limit of birds. Orange shoulder patches and orange rear panel increase safety in the field.

This vest is oversized and built to go over a heavy hoodie or jacket. For example: If you wear an XL t-shirt, an XL in this vest will have a chest measurement of 51-53 inches, making it sized like a 2X. If you hunt in warmer weather most of the time, we suggest sizing down to a LG.

Gamehide Hunting Wear

Providing quality hunting clothing for over 30 years!

Designed to work-

When we design a hunting vest, we know it will not be placed nicely on a hanger at the end of the day. That's why we make our clothing with the most durable fabrics and stitching around- load up the birds, add more shells, throw it in the back of the truck between fields, it is built to be worked!

Hunting Wear Is All We Do!

It’s more than just a mantra. It’s a fact. And it’s been that way for the 30-plus years in the hunting clothing business. How can you really know what hunters need in their hunting clothing if you don’t hunt? Can you really know how a garment performs in extreme conditions if you don’t wear it in extreme conditions?

In the end, Gamehide products prove themselves every day. They are designed by hunters who really hunt. Not clothing designers who really don’t!

Excellent game vest

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024

Size: X-LargeColor: Chestnut Brown/OrangeVerified Purchase

This is a durable, well constructed vest. The canvas material is old-school tough, and while it’s not going to win the local fashion show with the blaze orange, I must say the dark brown is a very nice color and would actually make a nice light jacket. The pockets are zippered, generously sized and easy to access game pocket. I especially like that the bottoms of the shotgun shell pouches are sewn closed, so shells are held in by the stretchy naterj, but they won’t fall out of the bottom either, and with the flap too, they’re secure without being difficult to access. I shoot a .410 for squirrels and rabbits, and two shells per pouch will work just fine. This is not true of the simpler designs you see on some vests with just a 1” strip of stretch material sewn in with openings on both ends. I’m 200lbs and the XL seems perfect for colder days over a jacket, or just over a long sleeve shirt too. It’s a hunting vest, not a tuxedo vest, and it fits like one.

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2023

Size: X-LargeColor: Marsh Brown/OrangeVerified Purchase

I love the thick material used for this vest! I ordered one for me and one for my son for Christmas because we do an annual pheasant hunt together. His is flawless but mine had an issue. The right pocket on part of the bottom wasn’t sewn into the seam correctly and I lost around 12 to 13 shells out of the bottom of it before I realized! I ordered a replacement so hopefully this one is properly sewn in.

In a world of overpriced hunting equipment that only yuppies smoking pipes and wearing tweed jackets can afford, you can always count on Gamehide to produce an affordable quality hunting vest. It has everything you need when it comes to putting a few critters on the table. Of course the main feature of any small game vest is the game pouch on the back. This vest will hold a daily limit of squirrels, grouse, rabbits or whatever else you want to drop in the crockpot. It has just enough blaze orange to keep you safe without looking like a newbie in a pumpkin suit bumbling around the woods. Plenty of loops for ammo and enough room in the pockets for everything a man needs in the woods like a can of chew, roll of toilet paper, bag of jerky and a couple PB&J sammiches to fuel a full day of busting brush and poppin God’s creatures with your grandpa’s old scatter gun. The material is good quality and durable, not covered in wax like an overpriced LL Bean garment. Let’s face it... the type of fellas that buy that stuff don’t step outside the cabin when it’s raining anyhow right? Nope, this is the real deal. The working man’s hunting vest that’ll last you a lifetime unless you get fat like I did. I still got 20 years out of the last one before I outgrew it. I recommend buying a size or two bigger if ya plan on wearing it over a coat or if ya like eating biscuits and gravy every morning after you turn 40. So order this vest and it’ll give ya a warm fuzzy feeling when ya see it hanging in the closet during the off-season. Then when the leaves change color and the call of the wild tugs at your primal instincts, throw it on and kill your dinner like a real man. My last piece of advice is never go in the woods without fire and a compass (a real one, not a cheapo pin-on or your dang cell phone that’s gonna die) or you’ll be eating acorn pie and having carnal relations with the forest creatures until one of your woods savvy buddies comes and bails ya out. Then you’ll get a nickname like “dumb bass”, I had to spell it that way so Amazon wouldn’t censor it. Happy hunting!

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2023

Size: LargeColor: Marsh Brown/OrangeVerified Purchase

I bought this for dove hunting and I've been happy with it. The material feels thick and sturdy, and I haven't had it rip or tear despite stumbling through some thick brush in it. It has a bunch of big pockets, so I had no trouble carrying around everything I needed. If you want to cool off on a hot day, you can fit a frozen 2 liter bottle in the "game pouch" on the back. Shell holders held 12 gauge shells tight with no movement. I wasn't constantly loading and unloading them so I can't comment on long term elasticity.

For being as cheap in price as it is, the look and the finish don't give the impression of cheapness. The hunter orange is bright and easily visible. I sometimes wear this when working outside because it gives me more pockets without overheating me.

Perfect internal and external pockets for falconry, and stands up to thorns , thistles, and briars. Zipper pockets work great! Being washable is a must for the game pouch reasons! Hunter orange appreciated by my neighbors.
