PRO Upland Softshell Vest

The outer fabric shrugs off light rain and brambles without snagging, and it’s kept me comfortable through a full morning of hiking a hillside for pheasants. The way it moves with me when I raise my arms to swing is exactly what I needed—no pulling or bunching under my jacket.

Finally, a vest that keeps me warm in the early-season chill without feeling like I'm wearing a puffy jacket. The softshell fabric moves with me when I'm swinging on a flush, and it wicks sweat so I don't get clammy mid-hunt.

The softshell fabric held up great through a full morning of pushing through brush, and I barely noticed I was wearing it once the wind picked up. It's my go-to for early season hunts now.
