GamehideMountain Pass Extreme Big Game Blaze Deer Hunting Vest

I think this is an excellent piece of gear, so long as you understand what it is you're getting.What this product is NOT, is an extremely lightweight vest meant to offer little more than the mandated amount of blaze orange coverage, which can be rolled up into a compact little package and stuffed into a cargo pocket when not in use.What this product IS, is a substantial, very well thought out and very well constructed vest that's intended to become an integrated component to your overall hunting outerwear system. There are many pockets, both front and back, built in compression straps above a large rear pouch, covered elastic cartridge holders, a very functional, lined hand warmer tunnel and rubberized straps sewn into the shoulders which help to grab your rifle sling. There's a quarter zip zipper in the front and a second full length zipper that completely undoes the vest at the side if increased ventilation is a concern. Machine washability rounds out the impressive feature set.The sizing is a little bit on the generous side, but that's ideal for accommodating multiple layers underneath.ETA: After some use in the field in inclement weather, I would amend my review to point out that the vest material tends to get saturated and rather heavy when subjected to an extended downpour. Probably not an issue in the snow, but for rainy conditions this should be taken into consideration.

Came as described. Has lots of pockets to put all your hunting gear in. Well made and very comfortable. Would recommend

I bought one of these a couple years ago for myself. Now that my son has gotten older and quit growing so fast I purchased this one for him. My favorite part is the fleece front pocket. His hands always get cold but somehow with this fleece he can withstand single digits with no gloves by just keeping his hands in the fleece pocket.

This purchase was a huge hit! My husband has lots of vests but he was constantly saying how he wanted an orange hunting vest with many more pockets that was waterproof and one that would last a long time. This was the absolute best vest and he was thrilled! He loves how well it is made and how many pockets it has. Really great vest and well worth the money to see him so happy! Best thing of all, I never have to hear how he wants another vest with more pockets ever again!

This is the most bizarre, weirdly-designed article of clothing I own, as well as my favorite. Yes, I feel like a pumpkin while wearing it, and the side-zip requires you to duck like an English gentleman bowing to enter, but that; not the point. The point is the pockets.THIS THING HAS A MILLION POCKETS!Yes, a million. Here's the breakdown.FRONT* 2 chest pockets (zippered) - I use the left for rangefinder. Right one should not contain anything bulky (for obvious reasons) so I use for license, two zip ties and rifle magazine (whenever I get out of the truck, it comes out of vest and into gun, when I get back into truck, it comes out of rifle and into vest. If I shoulder the rifle and feel a lump, I'll instantly know what I've forgotten)* Left chest cartridge loops (under velcro flap) and small pocket (velcro flap) - I use the tiny pocket for a wind checker (barely fits) and the cartridge loops I...do not use. Who keeps loose rounds on their chest instead of in the mag? I must have missed something here.* Main "kangaroo" pouch (snaps) - I keep game calls, flashlight, snacks, light gloves in here. The pocket is VERY spacious (don't miss the expansion snaps underneath) and has more shell loops, this time big enough for 12g.* Hand-warmer pouch. This is where the genius of the garment becomes apparent. The ability to warm your hands together means this vest blows any competitor out of the water. I usually keep nothing but some chemical hand warmers in here, as stuff could easily fall out.RIGHT SIDE* Lower pocket (snap) - Kinda awkward with a backpack. Says made for GPS/Phone. I don't use* Higher "armpit" pocket (elastic) - Kinda awkward with a backpack. Made for a water-bottle maybe? I don't useBACKHere's where things get bizarre.*Top tiny...handle? (Zippered) - is this a "combat extraction handle" to allow your hunting buddies to drag you out of the field? A specialized vent to allow cold air to access the back of your neck? The description says "Slot for safety strap". What safety strap needs such a slot? Have I been hunting all this time without a safety strap?? I won't be able to sleep at night until enlightened.* "Grommeted license holder" - Again, the description's words, not mine. Who attaches their hunting license to grommets on the back of their vest? Is this a pre-emptive strategy to ward off game wardens?* Huge back pocket with straps and flap. Maybe useful for anyone not carrying a daypack. I cut the straps off as uncomfortable in the truck.LEFT SIDESee above "RIGHT SIDE"INSIDE*NO* pockets! That's right, a million on the outside, but none on the inside for, say, your keys. Also, no pockets are waterproof, just FYIAll in all, an amazing piece of clothing technology. I wish it had molle strips and inside pockets but otherwise perfect. Makes me happy every time I put it on or even just lay eyes on it.

Bought 2 of these. One for me and one for my father-in-law as a gift after he liked mine so much. I wear xlarge shirts and ordered this in xlarge. It is big enough to comfortably wear over even my heaviest hunting coat. Love the fleece pocket in the front and it provides any easy access pocket for my phone or rangefinder even with gloves on. The side zipper takes a little getting used to but it’s worth it for the fleece pocket. It’s quiet. I did cut the buckles off that are on the back of the vest. I didn’t have a use for them and they were noisy if I leaned against my tree stand or a tree. Highly recommend!

This vest is hi quality, I’m very impressed with the quality and fit, well engineered, and the delivery was super fast, 👍🏻🤩

This vest fits a bit loose, but in variable weather hunting, it is great for allowing you to layer up when it's frosty at o'dark thrity in the morning. The adjustable straps on the back allows you to peel off layers as it warms up and carry your jacket out of the way. The side zip is a bit different but once you get used to it, it's not a problem. Especially if you are sitting in a treestand and that handwarmer pocket saves your fingers from being too stiff to pull the trigger. I love all the pockets. The chest pockets makes for using two-way radios a breeze while stalking or sitting in a tree stand.
