The jacket itself is well-made and similar to several other good quality
upland hunting jackets out there. There is one critical difference, though,
that being the harness system. Similar to buoyancy compensators for scuba
diving or to backpacks, the Bird'n Lite has a built in harness system
that secures the jacket. The benefit is more comfort when loaded up with
shells, electronic dog collar transmitters, and birds. It also makes this
vest more adjustable than others, ideal for everyone but particularly
good for female or younger shooters.
The
more you carry with you and the more birds you bag, the more you'll appreciate
this jacket and how its fit and comfort is unaffected by more weight.
Retailing at $170, you can pick this jacket up for about a hundred dollars
at major discount retailers. It is well-made, extremely comfortable and
does exactly what it promises to do . . . let you carry more weight without
any loss of comfort. The added adjust-ability and subsequent better fit
might make it your first choice, regardless of what you typically carry.
