First and foremost, we designed this vest so that those large roosters can actually be loaded from the front quickly and easily! The front opening of the game pouch has a snap expansion that provides a huge 14+" opening for loading big birds.

Second, this vest was designed with the dog handler in mind. The Velcro transmitter pockets on the chest lay flat when empty, but expand to accommodate virtually every make and model of e-collar transmitter. The elastic restrainer loop is easily secured around the antenna of larger remotes to prevent them from falling out when you bend over. The mesh front on the pockets provides easier identification of transmitter buttons and D-rings next to the pockets provide attachment points for lanyards. In addition, two reinforced water bottle holders (with drain holes) means that you can carry enough water for you and your four legged friend.

Third, the "Trekker" upland vest gets its name because in addition to the dual water bottle holders, it also has a rear rucksack for carrying your first aid kit or your lunch, or for stowing those extra layers later in the day when things are warming up.

Fourth, like all shooting apparel that we produce, the Trekker vest has an inside pocket under each shooting pad that accepts the revolutionary ShockEater® Recoil Pad. So, now you can use those heavy high brass loads and not worry about bruising your shoulder in the process.

And if that's not enough, we also engineered in some other great features including magnetic pocket flaps, a zippered bottom on the shell pockets (for easy emptying and clean out), hand warmer pockets, internal accessories pockets, expandable rear game pouch and a zippered game pouch.

Finally, this vest comes with a Manufacturer's Lifetime Guarantee. So enjoy those long hikes through fields, briars, fence rows and thickets knowing that we have your back. Happy hunting.

    I Love the vest, plenty of room for birds and easy to get them in and out! Plenty of pockets for a wide variety of items used during my hunt. Glad I made this purchase:):)

    I used the Peregrine Field Gear Trekker Dog Handler's Vest v2.0 for the first time in Maine, hunting Grouse and Woodcock. The Maine woods are thick and the terrain is rugged. The vest did everything I wanted it too and nothing I didn't. I ordered the large but sent it back for the medium which is perfect for me. Jack at Shock Eater was very helpful. To me the waist belt is the key to this vest. With a load of gear, water, and birds, the waist belt kept everything in place and off my shoulders. Even climbing over slash, blowdowns and rocks, everything stayed in place. It was warm one day so I kept it unzipped, and it still stayed put nicely. The magnetic close front pockets were easy to get into but kept debris out. The neoprene shell holders are easy to get shells out of, but difficult to load on the fly. Loading them ahead of time is a must but not a big deal. The backpack that is built in was appreciated when it got warm and we stripped layers off. That thing holds a ton. The one item I didn't use and will take off is the 2 pockets meant for collar transmitters. My Garmin Pro 550 barely fit, but more importantly I didn't find it conveniently located and finding button was difficult. This could be because I run my 550 on a belt loop off a carabiner and it just works well for me there. Time will tell how well it stands up but it went through a punishing test for 4 days with no failures. There are so many vests on the market that it is hard to choose and they can't do it all, but this one does many things really well. I would highly recommend this vest.

    I've owned my vest for 2-seasons now. Great vest - durable, comfortable and well made. Best feature is the dual chest pockets allows me to keep both my training transmitter and GPS receiver secure and within hearing range during hunting, all while remaining hands free to handle shotgun. Have not found another vest capable of handling 2 electronic devices, like this one. Ruck sack on back is also handy if the mid-morning sun causes you to get too warm and you need to shed a layer or 2. This season, the water bottle pockets were a blessing for carrying water for my dog, to keep him going in the dryness and also from overheating. This vest can get warm on a 40+ degree day even when wearing only a single layer long sleeve dry fit shirt. Certainly, not a vest for dog training in warmer weather. I don't understand zippers on bottoms of shell pockets - seems like a good way to lose stuff in the field, however, no issues so far.
