Im not a tactical gun bro. I think tactical gear is over-the-top, and doesnt fit my style despite having spent over 7 years in the Army. Im more of the old school, classic look type of guy. Think tweed jacket, bamboo fly rod, and walking the Scottish countryside with an over-under vibe. Yeah, its snobby, but I like what I like. You can make fun of me for it, just like I make fun of tactical stuff.

　　So, as you can imagine, I dont love it when outdoor brands merge tacticool features on everyday hunting and fishing gear. To me, it seems like a marketing ploy designed to capitalize on those who think military-grade is a selling point. Im honestly embarrassed to wear it.

　　Because of my proclivities, I viewed the Chief Upland Over/Under vest as a cardinal sin against everything I stand for. Tacticool MOLLE covering an upland bird hunting vest? Is nothing sacred? Upland bird hunting is one of the few things that allows me to be unapologetically uppity. And now, were letting the gun bros in.

　　In short: The gun bros may have a point with MOLLE. The Chief Over/Under vest ($199) brings tactical tech to an upland bird-hunting vest with a classic upland look. This is the most customizable upland bird hunting vest Ive used, and after hunting two states with it, I have it dialed in perfectly for my hunting. Since everything is removable and adjustable, theres no question youll love it, and still look like an upland hunter.
