Sara,

I don’t have any experience with the vest in the field from a woman’s perspective. My wife tried the vest and with a bit off adjustments it fit her pretty well. I know that Q5 offers different size waist belts which helps to make the vest more customizable. Hope that helps. Take care.

Do you have an idea if they fit women as well?
In my experience most of the upland hunting vests fit way to loose which results in a hassle walking through thick bushes.

Cheers
Sara

In reply to Terry Holberton. However, I just thought of something. I have the full vest not the San Carlos. You can call Dan or Joanne. They are awesome to help with questions.

In reply to Terry Holberton. I have a 2 liter bladder that fits perfectly.

How large a bladder is the vest designed to carry?

I’ve used a Quilomene vest for years long before Dan bought the old company. I was sad when they went out of business as my old vest had worn out. I ended up buying a Q5 Centerfire, before Dan re-designed the Quilomene, and I like that vest but I recently decided to buy another Quilomene. I love the changes that Dan incorporated in the new vest. Like you though, I only wish it had water bottle holders. Might also be better to have ventilation in the bird bag area like the Q5. Still my favorite vest though.
