SIDEKICK VEST SYSTEM
THE LIGHTEST UPLAND SYSTEM AVAILABLE
The Final Rise Sidekick is a modern, mold-breaking design that takes your traditional quail hunting vest, dove belt, and upland training vest concept to a whole new level. Whether you're running dogs in July heat, working through a summer training session, or chasing quail and doves in warm-weather country, the Sidekick is the ultra lightweight strap vest built for exactly those conditions.
As the lightest bird hunting vest system Final Rise makes, the Sidekick is equally at home as a hot weather vest on sweltering early-season hunts and as an upland vest for quail hunting across open country. It's the lightweight hunting vest that doesn't ask you to choose between comfort and function — you get both. Use it with the shoulder harness for a full lightweight bird hunting vest setup, or ditch the harness entirely. Whether it's full of training dummies or fresh birds, this ultra lightweight strap vest adapts to how you hunt.
The Sidekick keeps the Final Rise mantra of endless adjustability and versatility alive — in the lightest, most streamlined upland hunting vest package we've ever built.
System includes:
- Bird bag w/ Large, Dual zippered, Storage Pocket
- Weight-bearing Padded Waist Belt & Lumbar Pad for all day comfort
- Pair of Water Bottles Holders + Matching 32 oz Water Bottles
- Pair of Velcro Shell Pockets
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.
