eastlincs Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Anyone recommend a skeet vest that is reasonably priced? Been in local shop today all either beretta or browning for £60 upwards, don’t really want to spend that. But sick of filling my short pockets all the time.

Guest stevo Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 £60 for a branded name vest is a bargain ?buy it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Browning do a thing like a 'half vest' consisting of two bags and a belt, which you sling around your waist. There are several bag things which require a belt and do the same job, but the best thing for decent weight distribution is a shooting vest, mesh for tropical weather and full cotton or a waterproof type clay jacket, for when it is not blisteringly hot. Forgot to say, buy where you can try, the current clothing sizes are a joke ! Edited July 14, 2018 by Westley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the main reason i went into the shop today, im usualy a large in t-shirts, needed a XXL in the one i tried on lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) I take an XL in the Browning vest. I recently tried on a Beretta vest and even the XXXL was too tight. Laksen is another company who are tight on the fitment front ! WHY ?? seems a rather simple thing to standardise. Maybe it is National Master Plan to get us all to lose some weight Edited July 14, 2018 by Westley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 In that case your just gonna have to scan the shops where you can try on . To be honest your not gonna get one much cheaper then the £60 one you saw . Failing buy a cartridge pouch , http://www.sportingkit.co.uk/wa/1/63/7725-Beretta-Uniform-Pro-Black-Cartridge-Pouch.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxdfKxp2f3AIVb7vtCh3q2wAGEAQYAiABEgKSLPD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping I have and haven't been done - if it seems to be too good to be true.....and all that. I gave up looking for the exWD shirts I was after for pigeon shooting in the main so took a punt here: https://www.mandmdirect.com/01/details/NN2973/French-Connection-Mens-Plain-Flannel-Long-Sleeve-Shirt-Khaki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen one at that price. Only thing is not all stores stock them, so may have to pay to have it delivered. I have the one from the other link above (the 500 one) but was fortunate enough that my local decathlon stock shooting supplies. Can't knock the quality and it does the job.
