Product Details
Lighter than the original, our Upland Vest Pack now features a cleaner design and a more comfortable carry. It wears like a vest but provides cargo organization like a backpack by distributing weight without impeding a quick gun mount.
- Made with rugged 600D polyester canvas.
- 100% polyester lining.
- Streamlined design resists catching in thick brush.
- Contoured shoulder straps and rigid waist belt distribute load evenly for a comfortable carry.
- Ridged foam back panel for excellent support and breathability.
- Dual water bottle pockets so you can stay hydrated on long days in the field.
- Secure ammo pouches on hip belt.
- Provides hands-free organization and carrying for gear, ammo, game and more.
- Hydration compatible; bladder sold separately.
- Large, lined bloodproof game bag.
- 2 large utility/gear pockets on center back panel.

Material doesn't hold up
I purchased a Technical Upland vest 2 years ago. Almost immediately the loop that holds the game pouch tipper in place ripped out so the zipper was always a little less than fully closed.
The front of the front ammo pouches are made of a flexible neoprene type material that gets torn apart by brush, the places where grouse live that this vest is supposed to be designed for. After losing a few shells this weekend I'm done with L. L.Bean.
My next upland vest will be a Final Rise.

Great weight distribution, nearly perfect
Have been using mine for a few years now. I love the weight distribution and is comfortable to wear all day. The water bladder integration helps refill dog bottles on warm days.
Only negative is the shell pouches. I wish they were larger and had magnetic closures. A box of 20ga shells will fit, but 12ga shells will need to be dumped and “loose”.
I still never go on a hunt without it.

Small pockets
The vest is very comfortable but the shell pockets are way too small and poorly positioned. Can't even fit a half a box in one pocket. And they are soft material. Can't see them holding up very well.

Great vest
Best upland vest/pack on the market. New features over the 1st one I bought 7+ years ago are really great.

Very comfortable vest well setup. Nice game bag, water bottle holders and shell pockets. This vest is stream line. With plenty of storage without the bulk.

Great Vest
Big buckles help hold the sides together nicely. Lots of pockets and storage and even a sunglass holder. Love the vest. Perfect for guiding quail hunts.

Filled with flaws.
Too many flaws to really work in the field. I used this extensively for a year in the field for grouse, pheasant, and woodcock. It is just so disappointing. I’m going to a completely different manufacturer for better upland vest. It’s not the materials, the vest is designed with the usual L.L. Bean quality, but it’s the design of the vest itself. I’ll start with the straps they are hiking pack straps not really for an upland vest. The butt of the gun stock continually slides off of straps making the gun mount difficult to deliver consistently. The stock always slides off the strap. The shell pockets are so small that it’s really difficult to get a glove hand inside the shell pockets and really they aren’t large enough to hold an average amount of shells. The water bottle pockets are not adjustable in terms of being able to slide them into a different position — they are in a very awkward position on the vest. In fact, nothing on this vest is adjustable other than the belt size and small chest strap. The bird pocket needs to be larger, much larger. Good luck getting more than one pheasant in it. I’m not sure why they designed an eyeglass case to fit high on either the left or right strap, because that makes shouldering a shotgun impossible. Just the picture of the model standing there with the eyeglass case attached to me is a clear indication this vest is designed for profit rather than the pursuit of upland game birds The only part of the vest that I do like are the pockets at the top of the game pocket. In photos it all looks great. In the field it doesn’t work.
