This lightweight gilet, designed for country pursuits dry weather, guarantees good air circulation thanks to the laser micro-holes and mesh fabric.
Improvements based on your comments and opinions
This brown breathable 520 waistcoat is an improved version of the old version with the same name. The light weight and functionality (reinforcements, game bag, water bottle pockets) of the older version met with unanimous approval. But some of you commented on its breathability, which was not optimal, and the small volume of the game bag. Our staff took heed of your comments and developed this new and improved version of the waistcoat.
Advantage N°1 of the V2: laser-cut holes to improve perspiration wicking
The mesh fabric and the laser-cut holes on the front and back of the waistcoat (micro-holes that are cut using a laser machine) improve the air flow. They reduce the sensation of heat. We have replaced the main component in this new version of the waistcoat with a component that is more resistant to abrasion. In our tests, the machine had to make 40,000 circular movements on the fabric before it started to deteriorate.
Advantage N°2 of the V2: a waistcoat with a new cut designed for good freedom of movement
This version offers good freedom of movement, when walking carrying your gun, shouldering or firing. The cut of the waistcoat has been reworked. the length at the front and the back has been shortened and the distribution of weight between the front and the back has been improved to make the waistcoat more comfortable.
Advantage N°3 of the V2: a functional waistcoat, with even more readily accessible pockets
This hunting waistcoat is equipped with two large pockets on the front, which are opened and closed by flaps with press studs. They are 3 in 1: inside, there is a zip pocket in addition to the normal pocket, which also has a space that can hold 6 cartridges. This allows you to easily carry 12 rounds with you. These pockets allow you to grab or store all your accessories or documents. There are also 2 pockets to carry bottles.
Advantage N°4 of the V2: a redesigned game bag for more volume
The rear game bag has been entirely reworked by our designer hunters. the two side zips still keep the contents safe, but it is now easier to access. The volume has also been increased in comparison with the old version of the conventional breathable brown 520 waistcoat.
The extra little details of this new version
There is sometimes dew on the ground in early morning hunts. These drops of water can rise up into the pockets of your waistcoat when you are hunting in wet undergrowth. This is the reason why we decided to treat the fabric of this water-repellent waistcoat (so that the water slides off) and to protect the inner pockets of version 2 of the fluorescent/brown waistcoat with a special fabric that offers protection against humidity, so that you can carry your accessories in complete safety.
