My goal in creating the Orange Aglow Signature Mesh Vest was to build a lightweight vest that would work in concert with Sitka, Kuiu, First Lite, etc. clothing. Most vests on the market today seem counterproductive to the athletic fit, technical features, and minimalist nature of the best hunting clothing. The Orange Aglow vest is made of polyester mesh, so it's light, stretchy, and it dries quickly. There's a little extra fabric in the back to stretch over your later-season, bulkier clothing, but it's kept taut with a piece of elastic near the bottom. The hook-and-loop closure has a tab on the end so it can be opened with gloves. In size Medium, the vest comes in at just 2.2 ounces.
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.

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 got my elk muzzle loading, so no vest :dunno:
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
-
Ordered my on line and they arrived in 3 days. The quality looks good
And the vest weights almost nothing. I like giving even a little
Bit of business to one of our own members👍

You've built a great product with the hunter in mind. :tup:

Order #1010 just placed.

I ordered one too :tup:

Thanks for all the orders guys!!

Should we order true to our shirt size?

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
-
Should we order true to our shirt size?
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.

The panel is a great idea for the pack. At .8 ounces, how could a guy go wrong? :tup:

Just place my order, looking forward to using them.

Shirt/coat size. I like looser XL t-shirts, but do fit in a L

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:

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!! :)

I really like the idea of using it to Coverify the skull plate :tup:

Wow...Fastest shipping on anything I've ever ordered. I placed my order on Thursday night and it was in my hands this afternoon.
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!

Glad you got it and are pleased! Shipping might be a little slower during hunting season.. ;)

Ordered 2 vests and a panel yesterday. Look forward to it.

Got mine today. Super lightweight and great quality. I can't wait to try it in the field!
-
Ordered Saturday, here Monday
Looks good

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?
-
3XL is pretty big :dunno: I'd never accuse a 3XL of being small :o
-
Just ordered a a vest and pack panel! Stoked!
-
Just ordered 3 vests and 3 panels. Cant wait to check them out.
-
I got a couple vests and a pack panel a couple months ago. They're really nice and comfortable to wear.
I'd recommend them for whatever that's worth.

Just ordered a panel and vest. :tup:

Thank you everybody for your orders! Business has been going well, especially with the Safety Panels. Colorado added language to their orange requirements this year telling hunters that they have to have orange coverage on their backpacks, so I've been getting a lot of CO orders. Also archers, which in retrospect makes sense (no need to be camouflaged on your back).
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!
-
Tag for later
-
Been looking for a vest, that I really like, for a while now. Hope this is it. Order #1078.
-
This how I put the panel to use 😉 I really like the product !!
-
Vest and panel ordered!
In my mailbox on Monday the 28th. Quick service and great fit on the vest.
-
Thanks for the photo, Swift! That is a great use of the panel! (And nice buck!)
I just returned from the Selway-Bitterroot, where I had much better success taking photos of the vests/panels than I did at finding elk. :)

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).
-
Great product used it all deer season since my old zip up one died opening day, zipper broke.
Light weight easy on, easy off, never was in the way while using range finder binoculars, and strapping on my pack. :tup:
Now I just need to kill something to use the safety panel. :chuckle:

My 8 year old in a medium vest with my buck off in the background. Sorry for the twisted up vest pic.

Haha, haven't seen the vest worn like that before! But it looks great on her! I also make a Small now and am looking into making a Youth version of the vest next year.
And congratulations on the buck!
-
I'd take a youth. When I bought the medium it was the smallest size you had.
-
I have a couple questions:
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?
-
These vests are the worst! Haha just kidding got mine awhile back to test out. Works really good, doesn't soak up water, light, not cumbersome at all. Real nice and simple
-
Completely silent in use, only noise is the velcro strap on removing it. Don't know about weeds sticking to it since I don't roll on the ground. :chuckle:
-
I'm waiting for the camo blaze, next year?

Attached are a couple pics from Modern Deer.
Solid product.

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.

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.

Thanks Orange Aglow! :hello:
From now on I am taking credit for the life of every hunter who wears my vest each season. I will soon be the World's Most Important Person.
-
Glad you're finding success with the vest! I was one of your testers last fall and put it through some pretty serious abuse and it held up. I hope my feedback was helpful.
-
when do you expect to have the safety panels back in stock?
-
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..

-

Late January along with my shipment of Youth Large vests!
If you need something soon the Glow Panels are the same thing except with reflective material on one side of the velcro fasteners.
-

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 like the idea of an orange waterproof cover for bags. I tried to get one for my Sitka flash 20 but they said they don't make them anymore for that pack.

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.

Used the vest and safety panel during my 3911 elk hunt this weekend. Saturday it was raining and it was nice to not have a vest that gets waterlogged and on the pack out Sunday morning it was sunny and warm, the lightweight vest was also nice for that. Great product that really got some use this year. Some of my hunting took me through some really thick brush and the vest held up great with no tears.
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.

Future options for orange-camo?

Thought I had posted this one as well but it was on another thread. This is my archery deer from this year and I used the safety panel on pack while out hunting. Totally camouflaged from the front but my hunting partners could see where I was from behind when I turned my back in their direction so they could find me on the opposite ridge.

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.

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!)

Thank you to everyone for the tons of orders that have already come in. Good luck to all who are in the woods now or getting ready. I'm heading to Parker Lake tomorrow to help my friend with his archery moose tag then down to Idaho next weekend for ten days of scouting before my muzzleloader deer tag!

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:

Got mine, thanks again!

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!
-
Great to hear it's going good for you Dave! Got my camo vest quickly and I'm impressed with it, hopefully I can pose with it soon!

Had to find this thread so that I could order some more. Placed an order for 2 vests and 1 pannel. I'm going to be sponsoring a new hunter this year during blacktail for rifle should be fun!

Absolutely love mine.
