Q5 Centerfire Digital Camo Upland Quail or Pheasant Strap Vest

Q5 Centerfire Upland Strap Vest in Digital Camo on a hunt for Gambels Quail in Arizona:

IN STOCK!

The Q5 Centerfire in Digital Camo is a new version of an already well thought out strap vest!

Dan Priest has included a few new features that really stood out to us:  there is additional support strut within game bag - this can hold open the game bag even when many of the pockets are full.

Another unique improvement is the rubberized shoulder overlay which provides ample grip when shouldering your firearm. As always, the beneficial removable backpack, adjustable sternum strap AND removable shell bags, are all a part of this vest.

Note: While you can put an extra hydration reservoir in the removable backpack, there is a dedicated built in pouch for a hydration bladder within the mesh game bag!

The Q5 Centerfire Strap vest has a generously padded lumbar support which provides excellent weight distribution. One size fits all with the waist belt that adjusts out to approximately 55 inches.

We felt that the shell bags were placed in the right spot- off to the side so they aren't buffeting your legs.

Fitting Recommendations (We recommend that you have someone help you with the first fitting of your Q5 Centerfire Vest):

1. Loosen all the straps on the centerfire vest.
2. Put on the vest, set the hip belt where comfortable, and tighten the buckle.
3. Now just tighten the 3 straps on the back, shoulder straps and sternum strap to comfort.
4. The sternum strap is adjustable to sit further up or down the chest.
5. In time, as you have adjusted the vest to a permanent fit, you can adjust some of the overlength straps by cutting and applying a flame on the ends to prevent fraying.

"It's a unique feature when a Bird vest can be configured in almost any way. During hot days we like to remove the backpack. Doing this, we turn our hunting vest into a perfect mesh vest for training our dogs, or simply chukkar or early grouse hunting." - Luke Huberty
Northland Dog Supply Founder.

Cleaning Instructions:
Soil may be removed with spray cleaner or detergent and water. Avoid chlorine or bleach based cleaners.
Hand wash with mild detergent (ie: woolite, or even dawn dishwashing liquid) rinse well and air dry.
NEVER put products in dryer as this will compromise the backing on the fabric.
The velcro can be easily cleaned using a dry toothbrush.

As a note regarding the continual evolution of the Q5 Centerfire Camo Vest- the updated straps have a rubberized quilted overlay which grips your gun nicely when it is shouldered. We have noted that the shoulder straps are not unnecessarily thick or overly-padded- the construction is just right for warm or cool days.
The support strut or spacer is an ideal way to keep the game bag open- even when the pockets are filled with your hunting gear. The spacer in the game bag effectively holds the game bag open, so you can easily drop birds inside- without having to search for the opening. When the game bag is open it not only makes it easier to put birds in, but it could also allow birds (or training bumpers) to cool and properly air out until you get back to your truck. The versatility of the Q5 Centerfire is that you have options! The option with this camo vest is that you can tuck the spacer away when you dont want to have the game bag held open. Every hunt is different!
