Sporting Saint Winslow Junior Training Vest
The Winslow Junior Training Vest from Sporting Saint is a scaled-down, trainer-centric gundog vest designed especially for younger handlers and developing trainers. Built to mirror the functionality and organisation of the adult Winslow Training Vest but tailored for smaller builds and youth use, this vest gives juniors a true hands-on training kit that keeps essential items close at hand during training sessions, walks and field work.
Made from a combination of lightweight shower-proof canvas and breathable mesh, the Winslow Junior Vest offers weather-resistant performance and comfort in a lightweight package. The layout includes multiple specialised pockets and practical utility features, making it a useful learning tool that helps younger handlers stay organised and engaged while training dogs.
Sizing & Fit
The Winslow Junior Vest is available in two junior sizes:
- Large – Unisex
- X-Large – Unisex
Typically suited to age ranges:
- 10–11 years (Large)
- 12–13 years (X-Large)
The vest is cut to allow comfortable movement during active training without restricting range or agility.
Why Use a Junior Training Vest
A proper training vest gives young handlers a practical introduction to field organisation and equipment management. With everything from whistles and treats to markers and small tools in dedicated pockets, it encourages ownership of training tasks and helps build confidence in structured training environments.
The breathable mesh and lightweight canvas also make it suitable for longer sessions in changing conditions, allowing juniors to stay comfortable and focused without excess bulk.
