OUR TOP-OF-THE-LINE VEST!!  The body of this vest is made up of para-aramid fabric sandwiched between 2 layers of 1000 denier textured nylon. The chest area has 3 layers of para-aramid fabric and is cross-stitched for added strength and cut resistance.  The sides have 2 layers of para-aramid fabric. The protective leg flaps have one layer of para-aramid fabric and are an overlapping triple sleeve design to allow for full range of motion and to protect your dog's shoulders from any direction.  The vest has an attached cut collar and chin flap which prevent a gap between cut collar and vest.  The neck, throat and jaw areas are protected with sewn-in urethane trauma plates and one layer of para-aramid fabric. Includes stainless steel hardware with nylon straps and reflective strips. Full length protection. Lightweight and durable - perfect for running catch dogs or hot weather hunting.

How do I take measurements to ensure the best possible fit?

All measurements should be taken with the measuring tape against the body. Remember, you want the best fit possible.  Our gear is designed to lie against the contours of the body - your measurements should be taken the same way.

1.   Barrel - around the rib cage at the deepest part of the dog's chest, behind the front shoulders.

2.   Between the Front Legs - most dogs need a 2-3 inch width unless it is a special case.

3.   Body Length - between the inside of the front leg to the inside of the back leg.
