Highlights & Innovative Features

Redefining Comfort and Function in the Uplands

The Final Rise Summit System is the latest and most innovative Strap Vest design on the market. With a desire to deliver quality and a lifetime value in  upland gear, FINAL RISE set out to raise the bar and create a premium upland strap vest utilizing the latest advancements in materials, components and design.

What separates the FINAL RISE System from other Strap Vests on the Market? It’s a long list..

WEIGHT - 1.5 lbs lighter than other Strap Vests

The old saying goes, ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain. The older I get, the more that saying rings true! It doesn’t matter if you’re hunting chukar, prairie chickens or thick grouse cover, weight matters. At a mere 2.8 lbs, our vest is on average 1.5 lbs lighter than anything else available without jeopardizing the quality and lifetime value of the product. What does 1.5 lbs really mean though? It means you can carry almost a full extra liter of water BEFORE your vest weighs as much as another when it’s empty. 

The FINAL RISE System delivers all the carrying capacity, comfort and none of the bulk at a fraction of the weight.

MODULARITY & CUSTOMIZABLE LAYOUT - Your Vest. Your Way.

There is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to any hunting gear - especially picky Uplanders like ourselves. We have our style, our way and once we find something we like, and works, it’s hard to switch it up. Trust us, we get it. We’re just like you. 

Because we understand the need to create a system that functions perfectly for your needs,, the FINAL RISE vest is the perfect platform that includes all the essential parts you’ll need, but gives you a foundation to add additional pockets, accessories or whatever your mind can think up. How? PALs, or MOLLE, webbing. 

Throughout each part of the vest you’ll notice there is horizontal webbing. This is referred to as PALs or MOLLE webbing. It’s a 1” mil-spec webbing that allows for endless accessory options . From the waist belt to the shoulder straps, sides of the bird bag and even the exterior of the shell pockets, there’s a spot to add what you want, where you want it. Don’t need it? Don’t use it. Need it? Give ‘er hell! It’s a simple, straightforward and easy way to build YOUR kit, YOUR way. It doesn't get any better. 

WAIST BELT - True Weight Bearing for Comfort & Balance

The foundation of any strap vest is the waist belt. The theory behind a strap vest, as the shoulder straps are the most minimal part of the system, is that the waist belt should hold the weight, balance the bag front to back and deliver comfort. Without a proper fitting waist belt that is truly weight bearing, the design is mute. Our contoured hip hugging waist belt holds your system rock steady. like a well trained dog on point.

SHOULDER STRAPS - Streamline and Unobstructive

If there’s one thing you shoulder straps should NEVER do, it’s impede proper gun mount. Mount the gun wrong and it’s an ice cube's chance in hell you’ll knock a few birds down out of the covey you just hiked 5 miles to find. The FINAL RISE shoulder straps are a minimal, non-padded, functional asset to the vest and when properly adjusted, leave your shoulder clear for an easy mount. No more blaming the vest when you whiff a bird.. Maybe point the finger at your shell choice next?

Additionally, each shoulder strap has 2 rows of horizontal webbing that ride just above the semi-tacky material that sits on the front of the vest, just above the sternum strap. Perfect for hanging handhelds and other accessories that you like to keep on your chest and at the ready at all times. 

Last and certainly not least, each shoulder strap adjusts in 3 locations to allow the PERFECT fit. There is no other vest, backpack or gear item on the market with this feature. By allowing adjustment at the bottom of the strap, where it connects to the waist belt, the middle of the strap to cinch them tighter to your body, and at the rear of the shoulder straps, where it attaches to the bird bag and allows for proper torso length, you can dial in your vest so that it sits at the optimum position and ensures a comfortable and properly balanced system.

SHELL POCKETS - 3 Stage System

If there’s one part of your vest that gets used, it’s the shell pockets. In and out, in and out, shoot, reload.. Repeat 10000000’s of times. 

Our shell pockets offer the best of both worlds with a clam-shell style zipper that keeps the pocket completely closed during travel or when you have objects in a pocket you don’t need quick access to. Option 2 utilizes the fold over lip with a small touch of velcro that provides quick and easy access to shells when you’re pushing thick cover and want to keep rain or debris out of the pockets. Lastly, like any shell pocket should, you can simply tuck the lid down inside itself for an unobstructed way to keep shells at the ready. 

Our pockets are both large enough for gloved hands and offer an external zipper pocket that’s perfect for cell phones, wallets, keys and even tucking a tethered handheld into, if you prefer to not wear it on your chest. Shell Pockets are also a great storage compartment when balancing the vest.

BUILT IN DOG CARRIER - A lifeline when emergency strikes

The reality is that the gear we use and carry is mostly for our dogs. Water, first aid kits, multi-tools and more.. all to ensure we're prepared for when 'crap' happens. 

During the design and testing phases, it was critical for us to construct the vest so that it could carry a heavy load, in case a dog became injured. By designing the way our game bag closed and connected to the shoulder harness, we created an innovative way to open the bag, place the torso/mid section of the dog between the panels and then simply close the bag, connect to the harness and hustle back to the truck.

Not having to leave your gun or gear afield in a mad dash and securely carrying the dog to receive aid can make a less than ideal day afield, better.

Sizing Guide

There's no one size fits all approach when it comes to comfort and function. Lucky for you, we've loaded the FINAL RISE System with some simple yet innovative features that allow you to ensure a custom tailored fit. All you need to do is simply select your waist size during checkout and apply the steps outlined in this video to dial in how your vest feels so you can set it, forget and go hunt.

NOTE - We have already factored in layering. Do not size up if your measurements fall within the specified numbers below. 

 

Measuring Midsection For Belt Size:

Using a soft measuring tape, loop the tape behind your lower back, just above your bum, and wrap around to the front, just below the navel. Pair the size/measurement obtained with our sizing for optimal fit. This will ensure the belt sits below the waist on the hips, which will carry the most comfortably.

If you are up the upper end of a belt size, and you'd prefer to have the shell pockets sitting more forward, we recommend sizing up to the next belt size.

Measuring Torso Harness Size:

Using a soft measuring tape, measure from the bony bump on the back of your neck (C7 Vertebrae) to the top of your bum crack. Pair this measurement with the Torso size range on the product pages.

If you are a gentleman or woman with a larger chest area, please opt for the regular harness. This provides the additional length needed as the straps come over the chest area 

If you are right at 20", we recommend the regular harness as this will allow the sternum strap to sit low and ensure an open shoulder pocket for a clean gun mount.

Worried? Leave a Note:

If for any reason you’re worried about your measurements being wrong, please note your height and weight in the order notes at checkout.

From here, we will ensure we send you what we feel will fit the very best and provide the most comfortable and function out of your vest. If we get it wrong, we’ll always make it right.

Amazing

This is a huge upgrade to my previous setup. I can fit a box of shells in each pocket as well as my phone, keys, etc. My back isn’t a swamp when I take it off either. Even better, Final Rise had some of the best customer service that I have experienced. Thanks guys!

Music to our ears, Sean! Love knowing it's checking the boxes, keeping you cool and staying comfortable for your hunts. Wishing you and the pups a safe and successful fall!

Great Strap Vest

I’ve been searching for the perfect strap vest for a few years. Always taking costs into consideration and electing to buy the cheaper product. The saying “ buy once, cry once” is something I should have followed. The Summit vest is the best thought out vest, is made from quality materials, and accessories that make sense, that I have. Trust me, I have a few in the closet that will be available at discounted prices! The water bottle holder is the best in the market. Game bag is large enough to carry more than you need to shoot and the pocket locations and zipper functions are spot on. Well researched by the Final Rise team. Don’t be afraid to purchase, you’ll be happy with the vest.

Can't thank you enough for the amazing kind words and positive review brother! Hope the dogs are tuned up and ready to rock this fall. Safe travels and good hunting!

Sage Grouse/Prairie Chicken/Shartail Grouse Hunt

I bought the Summit Vest System for a Sage Grouse, Prarie Chicken, and Sharptail Grouse hunting trip in South Dakota and Wyoming.

The vest was comfortable (no rubbing areas at all), had amazing carrying capacity for my ammo, gear, and any birds I harvested. In total, I harvested 4 Sage, 1 Sharpie, and 4 Prarie Chickens over five hunting days.

Final Rise provided excellent craftsmanship and top notch material to produce the vest. The dogs appreciated the large amount of water you can carry. I used the two water bottle pouches provided and I had a 3L watter bladder for myself. I never ran out of water and covered 25 total miles during my hunts.

Thank you Final Rise Team!

Finally a vest that fits

I'm going to give this vest a five even though I haven't been in the grouse and woodcock woods yet. In Montana, once I got it fitted, it worked like a charm. On at least two occasions, I emptied both water bottles, using them for both my dogs and me. It's well worth the water-carrying ability. When it got hot, I could tie my shirt in the back without worrying about losing it. And the game bag holds at least one sharptail and a couple of huns with room for more.
The grouse and woodcock woods will test the material. But I think it will do great! Can't wait. Thank you!
