A specialized garment designed for participants in the pursuit of birds and small game in fields and wooded areas, it typically incorporates durable materials, functional pockets, and a rear compartment for carrying harvested game. These outer layers prioritize comfort, protection from the elements, and efficient storage for essential gear during outdoor activity.
The utility of such apparel extends to providing enhanced safety through high-visibility colors or panels, facilitating extended periods in the field by distributing weight evenly, and preserving the success of the hunt. Its development reflects an adaptation to the specific challenges and requirements of pursuing game in diverse terrains, evolving from simpler designs to incorporate modern fabrics and ergonomic considerations.
