new upland vest

If you want to look cool kiui now has a traditional game vest. I have some of their stuff , their gators and a couple of regular vests.. It’s good stuff . I’d like a pair of their gloves. That stuff is so overpriced it’s somewhat easier to pull the trigger if you catch it on sale. I may just do that if they still have a pair my size come next sale. Their strap vest is supposed to be nice but strap vests really are a pain in the ass if you are spot hopping in and out of the truck.

Jim the kuiu bird pack need serious consideration, it’s made for large birds, some water storage, simple design. Price point is reasonable compared to some of the other high end packs. My dad and brother run one, both are happy so far.
 
One of the downsides to strap vests is they take up a lot of room in the backseat or in the house. But the open backs you can pack a lot of shit in them when you loading from the house . Fewer trips to the truck.

I use a water bladder in the back of mine for the dogs on warm days. When it’s full, plus a couple roosters in the bag, that Filson is definitely heavy. I do like the way it functions however. I have had to sew up the shell pockets, as over time, they have worn through…

I have tried using a water bladder, but it is just too heavy. I have a water bottle I keep in the game pocket, but it is a PIA to get in and out to water the dog.

The final rise and Pyke are made in America if that’s a concern.

I don't know anything about where Final Rise is made, but I'd double check your info on Pyke.

When Pyke first came out that guy was all over the podcast circuit pimping his gear and that it was all made in America. I'm sure it was at first. I mentioned the "made in America" thing to a couple of my buddies when we were talking gear. (For what it's worth, all 3 of my buddies now wear Pyke's Dakota pants, as do I. Best brush pants I've ever had.) One of them pointed out to me that his were very clearly marked "made in Vietnam." I checked mine, which were a year or two older, and they were also made in Vietnam. Maybe the vests are made in the USA, but the at least the Dakota pant isn't.

***Edited to add: Pyke's website says both of their vests are made in the USA. No such claim is made for the pants.***
