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.
Customer Reviews
This is a great vest. I use it primarily for field hunt tests, and training and its the perfect minimalist design for those activities. I would not feel under equipped for short early season walks either!
So happy to hear it, Andrew! You nailed exactly what we designed it for and hope the training and field tests have paid off and you guys are getting ready to load the dogs and get after some wild birds. Wishing you tons of success!
I had been looking for dog training vest for awhile when I came across Final Rise Sidekick Vest System. I spoke with Matt a couple of times and he worked with my special requests without a single issue (exceptional customer service which is rare in todays world). Received the vest a little over a month ago and the fit and design are perfect for my training needs. Plenty of room for all my accessories in a well thought out, ultra light weight design. Will report back with update after I put a few more miles on it.
Thanks so much, Wally! We're always happy to help and and hope the training season was a huge success and you guys are gearing up for an action packed fall. Grateful for your support brother. Safe travels this season.
This vest is excellent. It is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately it took more than a month to receive it, this is why I gave it 4 stars.
I bought this for my husband as he tends to run hot and does not like vests that get bulky or lack pockets for other items. This vest is perfect! It doesn’t cause him to overheat, we love the fact we can carry water bottles (for both our dog and us), it has plenty of pockets, and above all it is very comfortable! He has used it for pheasants (which it is pushing it for the best as it is mostly for smaller birds) but it has worked well so far (though max might be 3 pheasants).
I also got his initials embroidered and it was really nice that Final Rise reached out to confirm we got the right vest with the right initials and that we were happy with our purchase.
Like for hot weather training. Good fit, good quality.
