The chest pockets sit at exactly the right height to grab shells without breaking stride, and the fabric shrugs off briars like nothing I've worn before. My shoulders stay free through a full morning of casting and climbing, so I forget I'm wearing it until a gust hits and I don't feel a thing.

Wore this through a rainy, windy morning in the brush and stayed dry and quiet the whole time—the softshell fabric blocks the wind without feeling stiff. Fit is true to size, and the articulation in the shoulders lets me swing my shotgun without any binding.

Hunting in the rain all morning and this shell kept me bone dry while still letting me swing freely on the flush. The fabric's got just enough stretch that it doesn't bind when I reach for a shot, and the chest pockets sit perfectly for a box of shells. Best upland jacket I've owned in years.
