OPEN BOX - Over/Under Vest | Full Blaze Orange (Final Sale Item)

As we’re in the final days of the Minnesota ’24 season, I wanted to share my review after using Chief Upland products. Short story – well-made gear, worth the money, great customer service. If you want more info, see below. Randy, a good hunting buddy of mine, tried on every single vest at the ’23 Pheasant Fest and before he pulled the trigger, we did a deep dive at the Chief Upland booth. Jake and Kristen were super helpful in getting him properly fitted and kitted out. Randy used the Over/Under vest all season and kept raving about it. As a thrifty hunter (some might say cheap), I put the purchase off until this September. I’ve been very pleased w my Over/Under vest. Here’s what I like about the system/company: • Infinitely customizable for different body sizes as well as early to late season layering • Rugged construction – has held up well after one year of use • Reduced shoulder fatigue especially compared to my old Fleet Farm vest • Great customer service and the chance to support a small, localish business When talking about the vest and accessories, I appreciate: • The top strap which allows me to stow my jacket as I get warm during a hunt • The vest’s handle which makes it easy to maneuver the fully loaded vest after you’ve taken it off • Easy to load birds without getting help from a buddy • The waterproof ammo box securely stores an entire box of shells and the outer compartment lets me keep a different shot size handy (e.g. first shot number 5 or 6, rest of box being number 4’s) • I keep the ammo box unzipped in the field and the magnetic lid keeps shells from falling out – super easy to grab more shells. Got it in coyote brown so I can also use it in the duck blind • Structured top water bottle holder – easy to use. Would recommend over the cord lock water bottle holder which is much harder to get bottles back in once they’ve been removed Things I’d change or improvements to consider: Original game bag support clips – hard to operate especially with cold hands. I replaced with the “Heavy Duty” clips. I’d suggest making these standard with the vest. The mesh pocket on the vest - doesn’t hold up well when carrying a transmitter. My friends has gotten holes in year two of use – please consider more substantial material. Quick grab ammo pouch – I’d like to see a larger accessory attachment then what this provides. Don’t get me wrong, this works fine for shells. But because I use the waterproof ammo box for shells, I’m looking for something large enough to put gloves, stocking hat, etc in without having to take off the vest to access storage on the back. All in all, this gear and company are worth investing in.

Very orange, the other colors weren't available. The fit is great size small. I'm 5'6" 152#. The best fits snug and is form fitting ,it feels like a back support almost as it hugs your contours perfectly. The add on pouchas are very adjustable blue to the molle system and do take some getting used to vs a standard upland vest since the make you wide. The mag closures are fantastic for quick access to shells. I even used it for deer hunting this year. Love the versatile nature of this vest. It's not limited to upland hunting by any means! I hope they design pouches that double as hand warmer pockets in the future for coold deer hunting days. Overall a fantastic upgrade that is totally customizable to suit how you hunt and the way you move!

Fantastic product and customer service. Was able to adjust the fit just small enough for my wife (5’3”, 120 lbs).

Great customer service! Ordered a medium, was a bit small , so Jake helped me out with a size larger. Seemingly infinite adjustability. Fits great and I positioned attachments as I like them. The game pouch access for the front is awesome for us broad shouldered guys who struggle to reach around to deposit birds. I have an embarrassing number of vests trying to find this one. I liked it well enough to keep the smaller size and send it to a friend who is also impressed. Thanks, Jake

Very sturdy vest .

Some of the greatest upland gear around.

I was concerned that I was between sizes. Jake quickly responded to my email to offer his advice. I am very happy with how the vest fit and how well the accessories mounted up via the MOLLE system.

Wife is set up with same vest as I have for guiding bird hunts. I'm sure she will love hers as much as I love mine.
