Clay shooting is a sport for everyone — young or old, new shooter or seasoned competitor, and of course, for gentlemen of all shapes and sizes. Yet one of the biggest frustrations many shooters face is finding a shooting vest that actually fits properly. Too often, standard shooting vests stop at XL or 2XL, leaving larger gentlemen without a comfortable option.
At UK Clay Shooting, we believe that comfort and confidence are just as important as your gun and cartridges when you step onto the stand. That’s why we’re shining a light on shooting vests for larger gentlemen, with inclusive sizing available right up to 6XL.
Why Fit Matters in a Shooting Vest
A shooting vest isn’t just clothing — it’s part of your equipment. The right vest should:
- Fit comfortably around the chest and shoulders so you can mount your gun with ease.
- Provide freedom of movement for swing and follow-through.
- Include practical features such as cartridge pockets and reinforced padding in the right places.
When a vest is too tight, it can restrict movement and distract you from your shooting. On the other hand, a vest that’s designed with larger frames in mind ensures you can focus entirely on your targets, not your clothing.
The Challenge: Limited Sizes from Most Brands
Many well-known shooting brands simply don’t produce sizes above 2XL. This leaves a gap in the market, and more importantly, leaves many shooters underserved. After all, clay shooting is a sport that prides itself on tradition, camaraderie, and inclusivity — so it makes no sense for clothing not to reflect that.
Searches for terms like “big and tall shooting vests”, “shooting vests for larger gentlemen”, and “clay shooting vests up to 6XL” are becoming more common, proving that the demand is there.
How Reisto® Solves the Problem
The good news is that Reisto® Shooting Sports has stepped up to meet this demand. Their latest range of clay shooting vests is available from Medium right through to 6XL and the larger sizes are cut properly, meaning every shooter can find the perfect fit.
- Designed specifically with larger chaps in mind, the vests aren’t just scaled-up versions of smaller sizes — they’re tailored for comfort and performance.

Confidence on the Stand
Ultimately, the right shooting vest isn’t about size — it’s about confidence. When you’ve got the right fit, you’ll stand taller, move more freely, and shoot better. That’s exactly what inclusive sizing in clay shooting gear is all about: helping every shooter feel comfortable, supported, and ready to perform.
