Description
We introduced the BANDOLERO® Hawking Bag several years ago and for 2019 have incorporated a number of improvements based on extensive field use and customer feedback. Design criteria for the BANDOLERO® Hawking Bag are the same as for the AVATAR Hawking Vest, and like the AVATAR, the BANDOLERO is built from 1000 denier USA-made duPont Cordura nylon and military specification fittings and closures. The BANDOLERO® Hawking Bag is offered in Coyote Tan, Loden, and Black.
We now carry a Compact size of our popular BANDOLERO® Hawking Bag. For people of smaller stature including petite women, young folks, and even for falconers not requiring the volume afforded by the standard size, The Compact BANDOLERO® Hawking Bag is about 20% smaller, but has all the same compartments and features of the standard size. The fully adjustable shoulder strap is the same length as used in the standard size.
The full-size BANDOLERO® Hawking Bag will easily accommodate a couple of jackrabbits or mallards. In fact, the Compact size will easily hold a jack, mallard or pheasant with room to spare.
Features:
- Easy one-handed access to all compartments;
- Big main compartment with long genuine YKK brand nylon self-repairing zipper closure, mesh panels to
keep training birds well ventilated and cool; - Roomy front compartment with new zippered pocket in flap;
- New fourth flat pocket inside front compartment, with provision for a fifth modular flat pocket or meat pouch;
- Totally bilateral, BANDOLERO® drapes naturally over either shoulder and fits
closely, with an adjustable, quick-snap elastic waist belt (A waist belt extender is available). Running and passing
through wire fences is as easy as with the AVATAR® vest; - BANDOLERO® accepts the Hood Holster just where you want it, and has two handy
“D” rings for looping jesses, hawk and dog leashes, etc.; - The integral shoulder strap has a no-slip pad and is adjustable for all
sizes of game hawkers; - Proudly made in the USA.
