Hunting vests are, for the most part, a natural part of any hunter's equipment. But with so many options to choose from, how do you know which one is best for you? In this guide, we dive into the world of hunting vests and explore how you can make the best choice for your needs as a hunter.

Why do you need hunting vests?

Hunting vests are more than just vests - they are often an important part of your safety equipment and also aim to improve your performance and make shooting easier. Different features and designs, all contributing in different ways to improve your hunting.

Safety features in hunting vests

The first thing to consider when it comes to hunting vests is your safety. Many vests come with built-in reflectors to ensure you are visible, even in low light conditions. This is especially important when hunting in the evening or early morning and we recommend here the classic signal color for hunting - orange. This orange hunting vest from Percussion is a simple solution to the problem, giving you plenty of visibility, and is small and light enough to pack into a pocket. A similar version for children can also be found here. 

Storage solutions in Hunting vests

Another important element to consider is storage. Hunting vests often offer a range of pockets and compartments to store everything from ammunition to first aid kits. 

This vest Struther from Scottish Hoggs of Fife for example, offers practical pockets and is made of a durable material. At the front, there are two cartridge pockets that easily fold out for more space, as well as a large back pocket that is very easy to access. Not only that, but like all Hoggs of Fife garments, it is made in the UK.

Choosing the right hunting vest for you

Now that we've gone over some of the basic features of hunting vests, let's look at how you can choose the right vest for you.

Customize to your needs

When you search for "hunting vests" you will notice that there is a huge variety in styles and features. It's important to choose a vest that best meets your individual hunting needs. Are you an active hunter who spends long hours out in the wilderness even in chilly conditions? Then a technologically advanced vest like the Heat from Seeland could be a good choice for you. It has the great features and characteristics that come with electric garments and easily keeps you warm during the pass. 

Another option for colder days is the Carlton vest from British Fort. A classic padded vest with a high collar that insulates heat and keeps out the cold, and comes at a very affordable price.
