INTEGRATOR Hunting Vest

I have tried a variety of carriers over the years, most of which attached to my belt or waist and required me to keep a hand on the stock at all times. I haven't really found any I was pleased with until now.This unique modular carrier in a vest platform changes the game. It is hands-free if you wish. I still keep my hand on the stock as I walk but can use both hands as it is securely affixed to the vest and rests in the stock pouch. The speed I can engage the device is amazing!The vest is very comfortable and fits my 5'11" 180-pound frame perfectly due to the full range of adjustment with the straps. I have never seen buckles like the ones that come with this—they are simple to attach and absolutely secure. Quality of the vest is top-notch.Note on Layering: Wearing this over a vest works well, but practice and vest adjustment may be required. Importantly, I still have full access to all of my pouches and pockets on my regular vest while wearing the carrier.You can choose a couple different included quick releases depending on style and whether you are using a scope or not. The release is very easy to operate, smooth, and quick. The only thing I have had any issues with is operating the buckle when securing while wearing my gloves. Not bad, but I don't keep the unit buckled in when in game., it is in my hands ready.Since originally receiving this, I have added the shell pouch and believe this rig with the optional game bag would be a nice lightweight training unit or warm-weather setup. I chose the tan color since I wear blaze orange clothing. This way I can use it for times when I don't need to be seen as easily.The price runs along the lines of much of my hunting gear. Good boots, vests, and other quality gear have a cost, but this is worth it when you are really in the game.

Alright, so let's get straight to the point: I was looking for a kinda harness or vest, that I could attach my rifle to. Came across this piece of gear which seemed to have what I was after.Packaging is all neat and tidy, includes a pretty detailed printed manual, that walked me through the initial setup in 5 mins.Took it for a spin the next day, with my usual minimal setup, and spoiler alert: it just worked!Had to re-adjust the straps a few times on the field once the whole vest settled in, but then it became noticeably more balanced and just a lighter feel in general.The quick release thing worked as promised, though personally I don't need that kinda subsecond reaction time.Materials and workmanship looks really fancy. Hope it lasts as long as it promises.

I’m a woman in my mid-50s and honestly, carrying a rifle for long walks has always been the part of hunting I dread the most. My shoulders and arms just get tired faster these days. I tried the Integrator vest on a hog hunt and I could tell right away it takes a lot of that weight off me. It almost feels like it balances the rifle for you. I didn’t have that constant “one arm heavier than the other” feeling anymore.Learning how the pull-tab works was actually quite simple. I was a little nervous about that part, but after trying it a couple of times it just made sense. When you pull it, the rifle comes free instantly, no fumbling around or getting stuck, which was a big relief for me.The vest itself seems really well made. The materials feel tough and not cheap at all, and the stitching looks like someone actually cared when they put it together. Nothing loose, nothing sloppy. It fits over my jacket without any weird pulling or bunching, it's just very comfortble overall.I still need to use it more to really see how it holds up, but so far I’m pretty impressed. If you’re someone who gets worn out from carrying a rifle for hours, this thing definitely helps. It made the whole outing a lot more enjoyable for me.
