MODERN INNOVATION WITH A CLASSIC FLAIR

Oftentimes, less is more. The Final Rise Legacy System was created for the upland hunter that knows exactly what they need to carry afield and nothing more. This simplified vest checks all the boxes for the essentials at a jaw dropping 2.25 lbs. The Legacy is perfect for hunts that don’t require carrying as much water or where you’re frequently moving spots, swapping dogs or hunting smaller parcels that allow you to be back to the truck when needed.

Designed with the Functional Upland Hunter in mind, with the Legacy you’ll enjoy:

  • Ultralight 2.25 lbs
  • Unmatched lumbar support for all day comfort
  • Non-padded and functional shoulder harness to ensure a clean gun mount
  • Streamlined and accessible bottle sleeves on the sides of the gamebag
  • Jacket Lash loops for when extra layers are needed
  • Innovative dog emergency carrying design

Please Note - The Legacy is not hydration/bladder compatible and will not accept the side or rear accessory pouches

Highlights & Innovative Features

Redefining Comfort and Function in the Uplands

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

What separates the FINAL RISE System from other Strap Vests on the Market?

WEIGHT - 2.5 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 just over 2 lbs, empty, our vest, as a complete system, is on average 2-3 lbs lighter than anything else available without jeopardizing the quality and lifetime value of the product. What does 2 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 Legacy delivers a true, minimalist platform, without jeopardizing  comfort or function in the field.

MODULARITY & CUSTOMIZABLE LAYOUT - Your Vest. Your Way.

There is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to any hunting gear.. 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 Legacy vest is the perfect platform that includes all the essential parts you’ll need.

WAIST BELT - True Weight Bearing for Comfort & Balance

The foundation of any strap vest should be the waist belt. That is afterall the theory behind a strap vest, as the shoulder straps are the most minimal part of the system and 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 provides unmatched comfort all while holding  your system rock steady. Combined with our Lumbar pad, a Final Rise Exclusive design, you won't find a better fitting or more comfortable vest.

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 kock a few birds down out of the covey you just hiked 5 miles to find. The FINAL RISE shoulder straps are minimal yet functional asset to the vest and when properly adjusted, leave your shoulder clear for an easy mount. 

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. 

SHELL POCKETS - Simple and Functional

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. 

The Legacy shell pockets are the classic, tried and true, flap top pocket. The deep pockets allow minimal weight within them to act as a counter balance to any birds or heavier essentials that make it way into your bag. Super easy to access, super easy to use.

Our pockets are both large enough for gloved hands. Shell Pockets are also a great storage compartment when balancing the vest and fits a full sized camera when a reasonably sized lens.

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.

 

**Due to the supply chain impacts of recent events to our American Suppliers who were effected by recent natural disasters, we kindly ask for your patience as we work to deliver your vest orders in approximately 15 business days. We sincerely appreciate your patience and support of American Businesses.

Awesome products that actually work as designed.

Matt, I spoke on the phone with you several years ago, when you answered the phone to answer my questions. Finally met you Pheasant Fest last year. I have had 6 back and spine surgeries. I have a spinal cord stimulator and a Morphine/Fentanyl pump. Your vest are the most comfortable that I have ever worn. I can actually walk around and HUNT. I wanted to thank you for giving me a product that still allows me to do what I love. God bless you brother.

Such a pleasure to have connected with you, Denny! No greater compliments than your kind review. Hope your health continues to improve and you're gearing up to enjoy another safe, successful and very memorable fall. Keep inspiring us brother!

New Legacy

Just received my new legacy vest. Very impressed with the quality in materials and components. The way the game bag stays open is an unbelievable upgrade to any vest I’ve had before. Plenty of room for everything I’ll need for a day in the grouse woods or chasing pheasants.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Brian! Nice to not have to call your buddy over to load a bird, right? :)

Hope the bird numbers are good out your way and wishing you a very safe and successful fall. Send some pictures in when you can. Thanks again!

Best vest out there!

I have 2 Summit vest (1 orange & 1 brown ) I bought the legacy vest for my dad since he isn't running a dog & doesn't need the extra water bottles. These vests are great , lightweight & cool and can be used from early sharptail & chickens all the way to late season pheasants. The shell pockets are perfect and even zip up on the Summit vests. I have been hunting with these vest for 3 years and everything has held up with no issues. I have been bird hunting for over 30 years & have multiple $250.00 plus vests & these are the ones I like to use and recommend to my friends. Here is a picture on my son & dog with some grouse in South Dakota.

Can't thank you enough for all the continued support, Tim! It's great folks like yourself that make this work so rewarding. Hope your dad is loving his vest and hope to see a pic or two of y'all in the field this fall. Stay safe and shoot straight brother.
