Percussion Blue Skeet Clay Pigeon Shooting Vest Evo

Product Information

Comfortable, easy to wear and a good fit, this jacket is a good choice for a mild sunny day out on the clay ground. For me it’s the fact this Skeet vest combines a modern look with a lot of the qualities of the more old fashioned ones. They offer essential shielding from environmental conditions and bolster responsible shooting practices. We have available, Polo Shirts, Polar Fleece Jackets, Softshell Jackets, Polar Fleece Gilets and Baselayers.

It’s got good sized twin bellows pockets on the left and right sides, a decent breast pocket plus a small one inside for earplugs or other small items and I like the elastic expanders instead of adjusters and the built-in expander panel on the zip for when you need to wear thicker clothing in winter. I like mesh Skeet vests and the fact I use a Beretta semi-auto means if I was looking for a new one this would be the vest for me. Layering up on a chill day isn’t a problem when you’re wearing this clay shooting vest because it’s designed with a front expansion panel.

Equally, there are summer-weight vests that are constructed predominantly from mesh, solid materials such as cotton or canvas, quilted or not, some with leather, suede or some other form of trim; those that can carry a few small accessories such as chokes, have loops to attach towels or headphones or come complete with the FITASC line just below the breast. What is good for me is that there’s plenty of adjustment around the waist for winter time when I wear thicker clothing underneath or let me wear it under another jacket as an extra and useful layer. It’s a bit pricy given that like many other shooters I have a set budget for my shooting, but given the make I’d give it some serious consideration since you can guarantee that if it’s made by Beretta it’ll be good quality even though I don’t actually own one of its guns. We think this would be the ideal clayshooting vest to keep rolled up in the boot of your car as a just in case, or to lend to a friend.

That said, this Beretta vest is smart looking, well made and the mesh material keeps you cool during the warmer weather. This vest has been developed after close consultation with shooting professionals and so has a host of features you will appreciate. From day one, our ethos has been to develop a range of high quality, stylish clothing targeted at all clay shooting disciplines, whilst offering outstanding value for money. For all those who took part it was a combination of looks and material and whilst for others it was a case of could it be worn for game shooting or as an everyday item around their own shoot.The long leather pad down the right-hand side is exactly how I like it and as part of the bright yellow trim it comes complete with the small line you have to have to shoot FITASC. As a keen game shooter I could wear this no matter what I was doing since it looks equally at home on clay layouts or standing on pheasant drive. And its elasticated waist means I’d be able to wear it all year round without having to mess with fiddly adjusters.

I like that I could wear it for shooting clays and the real thing, as a lot of my time is spent shooting and decoying live pigeons. The other thing I like is that it can be quickly adjusted so you can wear it over different clothing throughout the year and the fact that it’s long so when I sit down its not riding up. The thing about this Skeet vest is that it’s lightweight with all the mesh but still offers great shooting protection due to the two big quilted panels that run down either side. For me this would be the ideal Skeet vest and one I could wear for every aspect of my shooting both here at the ground and elsewhere.

I like the colour as it’s slightly different to most Skeet vests and that even though it’s handed, I like that the two suede panels run a good length down either side. Lastly, if you happen to be one of those shooters fortunate enough to besponsored – is there enough room for your sponsor’s badge?
