Impact Plate Rip Vest - Rip Vests

Information

This vest is a hybrid of our bikini vest and boar bib.  

It has one layer of para-aramid fabric throughout with additional layers of ballistic, cordura and viper cloth.  

Sewn-in urethane trauma-plates give added protection from cuts and impact.  

Comes standard with tracking loops and two d-rings - one on collar and one under the chin. 

All metal hardware is nickel-plated.  This is the ideal vest to protect key areas yet lightweight with room to run.

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.
