Ladies are always on the lookout for appropriately designed gear for their expeditions. DSG Outtterwear offers women’s outdoor and hunting gear, and they’re contnually adding to their line.
In preparation for upland hunting I’d ordered a DSG Outerwear Women’s Upland Hunting Vest 2.0, which arrived while I was away, teaching at She Never Quit (more about that in a future post). One thing you’ll notice when you order from DSG is that their packaging is terrific. The vest came double-bagged, with a tissue liner and on a teal colored hanger.
The size options for the vest were combined, Small/Medium, Large/X-Large, and XX-Large/XXX-Large, so I was concerned about how the item would fit petite, little, ol’ me. When I pulled the vest out to try it on it did look a bit large. I put it on and zipped up to see how the vest felt. It fits! Yes, it’s a bit large when I’m only in my Voormi Women’s Long Sleeve Baselayer Crew, but when we’re hunting in the cold winter months I’ll need to apply layers beneath the vest, so it’s appropriately sized!
The vest comes in a Grey/Blaze Orange color combination, which is appropriate for upland. It has a large YKK front zipper, which ran smooth. There are velcro flap covers on ammo pockets, which are large enough to hold a box of ammo, but inside the pockets are ammo loops. There are two large open pockets in the chest area, and loops to hook your GPS remote or lanyards. The quilted padding in the shoulder area is minimal, so if you’re one who’s worried about sore shoulders, you may want to get a shoulder recoil pad as well. In the back is a large game pouch. I’m excited to give this vest a try.
Something else that came this week is a press release about new vests from DSG that you may want to check out as well.
ALL-NEW DSG Outerwear Women’s Reversible Puffer Vest in Realtree Edge® Camo
Madison, WI – DSG Outerwear has been raising the bar for great-fitting, functional and size-inclusive apparel that gives serious female hunters a competitive edge in the field. The company is taking its innovation one step further with the introduction of its new Reversible Puffer Vest. Engineered with featherless down insulation and a reversible Realtree Edge® camo / black design, the new vest will keep heat close to your core whether you’re out in the field or around camp.
“Strategic layering is key when you’re trying to maximize thermoregulation without creating bulk, and the new Reversible Puffer Vest fits this need beautifully,” said Wendy Gavinski, founder of DSG Outerwear. “Its reversible feature offers incredible versatility for wearers, with Realtree Edge camo on one side for your hunting excursions, and simple black on the reverse for a more casual look for any season,” she added.
This smartly engineered new vest is constructed with high-quality featherless down insulation, which means it’s designed for maximum warmth without the bulk. Ideal for seasons spring through winter, the vest is the ultimate layering piece pairing perfectly with any of DSG Outerwear’s comfortable base layers and allowing for full mobility in the field. The vest also features two front hand-warmer pockets as well as a front heavy-duty zip closure that zips all the way up past the neckline, both of which keep you extra warm when the temperatures drop. Best of all, the new DSG Puffer Vest offers multiple wearing options with one side of the vest featuring the Realtree Edge camo pattern which is perfect for staying under the radar when on the hunt. With a quick flip, wearers can utilize the all-black reverse side for casual wear around town or while chilling at camp.
