The vest comes in sizes Medium - 3XL. I'm hoping to have Small in stock by September. All sizes will meet the legal requirements of all states (that don't require hats) with plenty to spare. In the case that you are wearing a backpack and covering the rear of your vest, I've also created a Safety Panel. The panel has hook-and-loop closures on all four corners to attach to your backpack and it provides an extra 115" of coverage. It weighs .8 ounces.

WOW! like the light weight and LOVE the pack panel
Will order soon, after I get the quantities (kid and other buddies)
Great, thanks! And send me success pictures after the season! One of my field testers last December got his elk within the first hour of wearing his vest so he and I are pretty sure this is the best investment you can make towards your hunting success. :)

I have a vest from Ca***** that is heavy cotton, and guilty of all the things in your ad.
These look great for high country hunts...weight wise.
For years I hung an old vest on the back of my hunting pack....now I won't have to

And the vest weights almost nothing. I like giving even a little

Should we order true to our shirt size?
If these are "athletic" fit, do we older chunky guys get the next larger size?
Wondering if a 42-44 is a large or extra large

Yes, you should. I wear a Large in most things, except XL in Sitka's Jetstream jacket. But a Large vest fits me perfectly.

Do you mean 42-44 waist? If that is the case I would go with at least XL. The athletic cut is still meant to be true to size, but just slightly tighter. Whatever you wear in a normal tshirt size is what size vest I would order.

I would recommend the XL then. That way it should fit well over your coat. Or just order both and give the other one away. :chuckle:

The panel is a great idea for the pack. At .8 ounces, how could a guy go wrong? :tup:
I agree! And it can be used in other ways, too, like over a skull plate or on antlers when packing a head out, or to hang in the tree above your kill to help you find your way back, or somewhere off a horse? The possibilities are endless!! :)

The Velcro closures are very thick and nice and easy to undo even with gloved hands. The stitching and materials used throughout the vest and pack panel are very nicely done, with quality kept in mind. To top it off there was a handwritten note with my order; The note was a very nice touch!

A thought, you might want to make some 4,5 and 6xl vests. Not everybody is small in stature or roundness.... :tup:
Thanks for the idea!
It's a bit expensive to introduce a new size so I just have to make sure there is enough demand to justify it. Do you think there are a lot of guys (or gals) in those sizes?

I also just recently introduced the vest in size Small. I had to do a lot of work to make sure this would be legal, but at over 600 square inches, it is legal in every state. And I'm pretty sure this is the smallest, guaranteed legal vest on the market. Perfect for kids and women!

Order 1106 and I'm an archer. I'll use it for mushroom picking. :tup:
Haha, thank you for your order! I actually have archers buying the Safety and Glow Panels to put on their backpacks both for safety and for when you set your pack down to close the final distance to a bull. I had an archer say he did exactly that then it took him over two hours to find his Kuiu camo backpack again.
Oh, by the way, I don't think I announced this but I just launched a new product called the Glow Panel. It's the Safety Panel except with reflective material on one side of all four of the velcro attachments. This works really well if you need to come back to something (camp, downed animal) after dark. Also, the Glow Panels now come in two sizes: Medium and Large (which corresponds with the size of the Safety Panel).

Is the material fairly quiet? Is it going to be noisy like some material when you rub against brush?
Some material seems to attract hounds tongue and other weeds, is the material not as bad that way?

I have a couple questions:

Some material seems to attract hounds tongue and other weeds, is the material not as bad that way?
Hey Bearpaw,
The material is definitely very quiet, I don't think you can get it to make a sound under any circumstance.
I wore my vest last year during the testing stage through some pretty rough brush and while it did snag a little (I was even able to create a small tear, but I was pretty much trying to do it), it didn't pick up anything. But I don't think I've worn it through any hounds tongue yet so I can't comment on that. I did have a guy ask about this earlier this summer and I told him if he had any problems I'd refund him and he hasn't contacted me yet!

I'm waiting for the camo blaze, next year?
Yes, I'm still hoping for that! I'm working on the youth size right now in preparation for the Portland Sportsmen's Show, but hopefully I can work on the camo pattern in February/March.
Post by: whuppinstick on November 17, 2015, 07:53:16 AM
With a fully loaded Bullpac on the lightweight vest and safety panel were great to have. Definitely didn't want any extra weight to carry out. Super lightweight and with the safety panel I was still visible from all sides.
Great pictures and great animals, Rainier10 and X-Force! Thank you for posting!

If you need something soon the Glow Panels are the same thing except with reflective material on one side of the velcro fasteners.

I love mine, I could also use a cover for my pack (thinking product expansion for you). I would be happy to mule one next year, I was going to make one myself but you have demonstrate the skills..
I will keep this in mind. Can you let me know what a pack cover would accomplish that a safety panel or two would not? There would be a little more orange coverage for sure - is that what you are after? Or would you be looking for it to be waterproof material to keep your pack dry during a rainstorm?
One new product for which I am getting samples in the next shipment are hat bands so that people who wear cowboy hats can be legal in states that require orange (like Colorado).

I have a raincover so it would be for safety. I could do a safety panel but just looking for something a lighter and that might fit better.
Post by: Rainier10 on December 07, 2015, 09:56:39 AM
The vest was used for three deer hunts and three elk hunts. The safety panel was used on every hunt on I went on this year. It was a great year, looking forward to next.

This has been a highly requested item for the past year and they arrived just in time for this hunting season! I put a lot of time into this pattern to make sure it broke up the solid orange AND still provided enough orange coverage to be legal. Everything else is the same between this vest and the solid vest - super lightweight, durable, quick-drying. To celebrate this new product and thank all of you hunt-wa members for your support, you can enter discount code HUNTWA16 at checkout to take 20% off all orders until SEPTEMBER 11th.

We also just introduced a YOUTH LARGE version of the Signature Mesh Blaze Orange Vest. This is one of the only vests on the market that is fitted for kids and it is certainly the best! (And it's priced less than the adult vests!)

I was hoping my vest and panel would show before my Wyoming hunt and it did. Sadly I could not get my phone to do the auto pic with my great buck because of the extreme winds. I did get a nice pic with this doe and wanted to show how awesome this vest looks. It's super bright and I love this new pattern. Great product here guys and gals :IBCOOL:
I think this might be the first action shot with the camo vest! Congrats and thanks for the shout out!
I'm in very rural Idaho right now scouting a deer hunt but I come into town every day to ship orders and do a little work for my other job, so I'm keeping up. Thanks again to everybody for all the support. Please share your photos as season progresses.
Also, if any of you watch Meateater, be on the lookout for one of our vests (and maybe a panel?) making a cameo this season. Next season I think most of the cast members will be wearing Orange Aglow!
Good luck to everybody out there!
