WingWorks offers serious bird hunters a heavy duty upgrade of the versatile strap-style upland wingshooting vest.

Originally developed by chukar hunters in the high-desert Northwest, WW Vests feature a weight bearing waist belt, 100 oz. plus water capacity and restriction-free movement for walking and shooting.

They accomodate the layered clothing approach to the variety of weather encountered in fall hunting conditions. Durable Cordura and Ballistic Cloth construction, simple adjustments, exceptional load capacity and small body footprint set WingWorks apart from the rest.

Built to hold up to hard use day after day, in a variety of climates and terrain. Questions? Try info@wingworks.biz

If you have questions, the most reliable contact for us is by email at info@wingworks.biz  We’ll try to get back to phone calls within 2 days, but prefer to reply to emails earlier and later than most of you want to get phone calls!  We’d rather be building vests than speaking on the phone during working hours.

Here is a link to “The Best of the Vests” article by David Draper in the Sept/Oct issue of Shooting Sportsman magazine, which included the Wingworks’ Ballistic Vest.  Check it out, it was the author’s favorite!  The current price for Ballistic Vests is $220.

WHAT’S CHANGED ON THE NEW VESTS?

  • A stiffer Mil-Spec Cordura is now used throughout the vest, formerly used only in specific areas.  Formerly these vests were recommended to trainers and guides.    We have also been experimenting with 1040 Ballistic fabric.
  • 1″ wider shell pockets for easier access
  • Heavier 2″ straps on shoulder harnesses to bear the load
  • Optional Tritronics G 2/3 transmitter mount on shell pocket
  • Choice of Blaze or Tan harness with each vest purchased

WHAT SEPARATES WINGWORKS FROM OTHER UPLAND VESTS?

  • Bombproof 1000 denier Cordura or Ballistic exterior, fully lined with 420 denier nylon packcloth, beefed up sewing where it counts.
  • Modular Design: Components will continue to be interchangeable to allow users to keep up with design improvements.
  • Hunter ergonomics dominate design priorities, to minimize interference with climbing, walking and shooting.
  • Versatility in a variety of hunting and weather conditions; small on-the-body footprint for warm weather hunting, simple adjustments.
