September 16, 2025 – Dixon, CA – Kuiu, a leader in high-performance hunting gear, proudly announces the release of the Core Upland Vest, a modern take on the traditional field vest built for demanding upland pursuits. Designed with rugged ripstop construction and thoughtful functionality, the Core Upland Vest combines classic style with advanced performance to ensure all-day comfort in the field.
The vest is built with reinforced shoulder panels featuring 3mm Atilon foam padding, providing a comfortable shotgun mount and carry. A dedicated expanded shell loop system speeds reloads, while magnetic belt and cargo pocket closures keep shells and gear secure yet accessible.
Engineered for function, the wrap-around bird bag is fully lined for moisture management, with zippered gussets that expand capacity when needed and a zip-apart top access panel that makes unloading and cleaning easy. Additional features include zippered chest pockets with flap covers, cargo pockets with magnetic snap-down flaps, and two accessory D-rings for dog handling gear. Breathable panels and a seamless side design enhance comfort and durability for season-after-season use.
“The Core Upland Vest blends the timeless look of an upland vest with the technical innovations KUIU is known for,” says Kevin Wilkerson, Kuiu’s VP of Brand Marketing. “From the reinforced shotgun padding to the expandable bird bag, every detail was designed with serious upland hunters in mind.”
