I didn’t know how comfortable, convenient, and versatile the Pella Bird n Lite Zip Sleeve Upland Jacket was, until I bought one…  The patented Bird n Lite Technology is without a doubt the best upland hunting clothing design available.

The Pella Bird n Lite Zip Sleeve Upland Jacket is extremely comfortable because you can exactly fit each strap to your body size and style.  I wear my Pella Bird n Lite Zip Sleeve Upland Jacket during cool late fall, early spring, and cold winter days.  I wear it as a hunting coat in the morning, and when it warms up towards midday, I zip off the sleeves and put them in the built in rucksack and it converts to a hunting vest.  The Pella Bird n Lite Zip Sleeve Jacket is comfortable for both bird dog training, or pheasant hunting over a shirt or sweatshirt.  The best feature of the Bird n Lite system is the internal harness and lumbar belt that balances and supports the load.  I’ve had 40 plus quail or 15 pheasants in the back and with a quick tug on the patented Bird n Lite weight distribution harness pull tabs I hardly knew I was carrying them.  You can snug up the lumbar belt and it really does a great job of supporting your lower back.  

The convenience of the Bird n Lite Zip Sleeve Jacket is that everything is at your fingertips.  It has two front double compartment cargo pockets with large flaps and Velcro closures.  The main compartments have shell loops for ammo and fit medium sized items that you need frequently like training treats or a small digital camera to get those great shots of your bird dog on point.  The inner pockets are perfect for a cell phone, keys, license, and other small items that you don’t want to lose in the field.  You can load birds, retrieving dummies and  bumpers, or a check cord and handler’s lead into the game bag from the front or the side.  There’s a rucksack with two compartments for larger items like a gun dog first aid kit, pointing dog training supplies, or a hydration bladder.  There’s also D rings on the front chest area where I have a carabineer snapped to my e-collar remote on one side, and if I’m out training pointing dogs, I have a bird launcher remote on the other.  You’re able to have all of your pointing dog training equipment and upland bird hunting supplies with you and easily accessible.

The versatility of the Pella Bird n Lite Zip Sleeve Jacket makes it two products in one package.  Why would anyone buy a hunting vest and a hunting coat, when you can have both for about half the money?  I can’t count how many times I’ve been walking across the field and started to sweat from having to many layers on.  So I stop, zip off the sleeves, stuff them in the pack, and keep on going in comfort.  During late fall, winter months, and early spring I’m training bird dogs in the yard or out hunting pheasants with my pointing dogs in the field, I am able to adapt on the run regardless of mother nature’s variability.  The Pella Bird n Lite Zip Sleeve Jacket comes in six sizes – Small, Medium, Large, XL, 2X, and 3X, and due to the adjustability of the straps, you can get the perfect fit.  It's available in Khaki and Blaze Orange, the cuffs are elastic and Velcro, and the high zip up collar keeps the cold winter air at bay.  Order yours today, and after you wear it a few times you’ll  wonder why you waited so long to get one….
