The classic skeet shooting vest has earned its place in the clay shooting world — mesh backing, bulky pockets, and that well-worn look many shooters are proud of. But times (and materials) have changed. Today, more shooters are looking for modern shooting gear that blends performance, style, and comfort. Enter: the Reisto Softshell Shooting Vest.
🔍 Why Choose a Modern Shooting Vest?
Traditional vests are great for summer use, but in unpredictable British weather, many shooters need something more adaptable — a vest that can handle light rain, wind, and colder mornings without layering up like a mountaineer.
The Reisto Softshell Shooting Vest offers exactly that — combining a streamlined modern fit with weather-resistant materials and a look that wouldn’t be out of place on or off the range.
🧥 Key Features of the Reisto Softshell Vest
- Softshell fabric construction: Windproof, lightly water-resistant, and flexible
- Twin recoil shoulder pads: Comfortable for both left- and right-handed shooters
- Sleek Blue and Grey styling: A modern upgrade from the usual green-and-tan
This vest is ideal for those who shoot year-round or simply want something more versatile than a lightweight summer vest.
🎯 Pair It with the Perfect Companion
While the softshell vest doesn’t include the deep cartridge pockets you’d find in a traditional vest, that’s intentional — and easily solved.
The Reisto Belt Cartridge Pouch is designed to pair seamlessly with the softshell vest. It holds a full box of 25 cartridges securely at your waist, keeping your hands and shoulders free.
- None Bulky Size Holds 25-50 cartridges easily
- Robust material to last a life time of use
Together, the vest and pouch provide a modular, flexible system for skeet or sporting shooters who want to move freely without sacrificing utility.
⚖️ A Modern Setup for the Modern Shooter
If you find yourself shooting in wind, light rain, or chilly early mornings — or simply prefer a more refined, tactical look — the Reisto Softshell Shooting Vest and Cartridge Pouch combo might be the modern upgrade your kit bag needs.
