Browning, Trapper Creek Vest, Clay/Black, X-Large

Oh boy - I love this vest!I work with dogs for a living, and all of the options for dog-training vests just didn’t seem suitable for me for a myriad of reasons. I had read somewhere that hunting/fishing vests work well for the same purpose, and that’s when I found this masterpiece!It is great quality - down to the mesh, which is incredibly durable and strong feeling. It has many pockets, but doesn’t feel too bulky. I’m able to carry treats, toys, e-collar transmitters, my phone, etc.Overall, this is an amazing vest for a great price, and it is incredibly versatile in whatever you might need it for.(I am a 5’8” female, and usually wear a size medium-large, but I bought the biggest option because I opt for oversized Carhartt shirts on a daily basis, so it fits well with what I wear, and it’s made in a similar “tall” length. I’d say it’s incredibly true to size, so order the size that has measurements that are comfortable to you specifically)

Fits well and looks good, Its browning

Well made, suits my needs, especially the reactor shoulder pad pocket. Fits tighter than I expected. Should have got a size larger. Found this to be true with Browning products over the years. Can’t address durability question yet.

Be mindful of the fact that you should go up as size or two if you plan to wear a heavy shirt, light jacket, or a coat underneath. If you wear an XL t- shirt, size XL is fine over a t-shirt, but you need to go up a size if wearing a flannel shirt & t-shirt. I went up to 2XL.

I've been wearing these Trapper Creek vests for years because they do what I need done. They hold my shells and have a place to put empties, which I pick up to reload. The vest fits well and distributes the weight (never very much, really) onto the full width of my shoulders. They do not have leather or vinyl piping in the pockets, so those wear out in about four years of weekly and twice weekly use on the range. There is no zipper on the back pocket to empty that easily, which is no big deal for me as I don't use that pocket for empties anyway - I carry my chokes there and there is no chance they'll fall out through an open zipper. I wear this one in cold weather over layers of clothing, and a large Trapper Creek in summer over lighter clothing. I'll continue to buy these.

I recently joined a trap league and needed a good setup for holding my ammo and empties. Ive seen others using these vests so I picked one up. I much prefer it to an ammo bag as it's easy to grab new ammo and put the empties in the back while having a place to keep eye protection and hearing protection.

Vest met all my expectations regarding fit, access to pockets and quality.I am a returning trap shooter after a 40 year absence and i have always liked Browning products. The vest is comfortable, I am 5'11" and 200# and a little thick in the middle. One of the big features are the double pockets on each side. They can accommodate 50 12 gauge shells easily. The rear mesh pocket is easy to access for empties.Great vest, I would recommended it to any one.

Bought this jacket for casual trap and skeet shooting at the range and was not disappointed. The vest is comfortable - cool in the Texas summer is an acid test. Everything is well thought out - not a lot of whistles and bells; just the rght number of pockets in the right places (e.g., loops for your next two rounds; pockets for ammo and casings. A recoil cushion fits neatly in either breast panel to accommodate lefty or righty. In sum, the Browning vest is durable, funtional and easy to wear. At the price offered you can't do much better than this, regardless of whether you shoot a Browning, Beretta, Ruger or Remington.
