The Hunting Vest that will serve with grace from Georgia to Alaska to Mongolia -- the MOTHER Day Pack 2.0.
The original Day Pack was MOTHER's first model, and helped to create a movement towards technical. Version 2.0's execution is simpler, more elegant and more functional. The oversized and expandable game bag allows you to carry your limit of ditch chickens, plus some of your friend's limit as well. Enlarged shell pockets for those who really need 50 shells to knock down three birds.
Features:
The top of the game bag is wasted space in every other piece on the market. MOTHER made use of it and provided a mesh pocket for hat & gloves.
Large storage compartment for fleece, rain shell, lunch and first aid kit.
Larger, expandable game bag allows you to carry your
limit, and some of your friend's.
Larger shell pockets with flaps and MOTHER's Flip Magnet closures.
Shell pockets have three compartments -- the outside mesh snaps shut for must not lose items, each main pocket easily holds twenty-five 2 3/4" 12 gauge shells, hidden slip pockets hold dog or human treats.
All MOTHER's products are warranted for their life against manufacturer's defect.
Fitting and Using your MOTHER
To measure torso length draw an imaginary line from the protruding hip bone on one side of your pelvis to the protruding hip bone on the other side of your pelvis. Then determine where the shoulder straps will most likely rest on your shoulders and measure the distance from that point to your imaginary hip bone line.
All MOTHER packs are designed as technical packs with the weight of the pack and its contents being carried on your hips. The first time that you throw your pack on you will have to give it some thought.
We like to loosen the shoulder straps up considerably and position the hip harness so that it is cradling your protruding hip bones (our copy of the Anatomy Coloring Book calls them the iliac crest). Cinch the hip harness down. If you are new to technical packs, it should feel like it is wrapping around you hips with authority, like when you picked-up and jokingly threatened to throw your significant other into a 38 degree river (not that we've ever done that) and they hold on for dear life -- or at least tight enough to drag you in with them. If the hip harness is connecting with a casual sloppiness, then it is too loose.
From that point we adjust the shoulder straps and sternum strap to suit. Under normal conditions our straps are pretty loose, with the hip harness carrying the weight. If we have to descend some sketchy scree slope we first unload our guns and then tighten everything down so that our MOTHERs move with us, as a part of our bodies.
