The Beauty of Minimalist Function and Quality
To be honest, I was a bit nervous when this Duluth Pack vest arrived in the mail. Looking at it I thought, "ok...two shoulder straps, leather belt closure, a game pouch, two snap-closure pockets and a plan". After using it exclusively upland hunting in the U.P., I COULDN'T BE MORE SATISFIED! I was drawn to the simplicity of this vest and wanted to force myself to carry only what truly mattered while hunting. Ammo in right pouch, and in the left pouch a head lamp, pocket first aid kit, one dog boot and a Leatherman. I'm also much more agile moving through the cover and not getting snagged on things like water bottle sleeves. I'M NOT GOING ON A TRAIL HIKE OR WALKING THROUGH A ZOO! I'M HUNTING! And yeah, this vest is more than adequately durable and has easily taken any/all punishment that U.P.grouse cover can deliver. Very happy with this purchase and feel I received great quaty gear for the money.
