This is the second one I have bought. First one is in the third year for my older Lab. I have had other brands and when the last one tore up for my 3 year old Lab I bought a second one of these. They are quite hard on vests. Its easy to adjust and once it is set the straps are always in the right place. Highly recommend it.

fit was perfect protects throat injury and makes her easier to see in thick tall cover very good product and service

Mine is NSDTR and she is “low rider”. Wanted to protect her from spikey prickly weed - still gotta brush out so much out of her fur. The design is not optimal unless you run through pure grasslands. Overpriced. Ok material. If I knew what i was getting - I would have not made this purchase

great protection AND visibility - just used for a week but looks to be sturdy and well made

Our dog runs no less than 5-miles per day (double that when the weather is nice) plowing through desert scrub brush and the occasional briar patch, and this vest keeps her clean and protected.

I love these vests - this is the second one I have purchased. I measured my dog (Vizsla - 46 lbs) and the chart said to order a medium but it was to large - exchanged for a small and it fits perfectly. His measurements were right at the borderline of small and a medium. Small fits perfectly with plenty of adjustment in the buckles still. I like how the size is now listed on a tag on the vest - this will save a lot of time next time I order one.

Excellent vest. Made of high quality materials. After a season, running through aspen clear cuts in MN, there has been no damage to the vest or my dog. It has really helped protect my pup from all the raspberry briars and young aspen stickers that she plows through. Plus it is super visable in the thick clear cuts areas which is so important when you cannot see more than 30 yrds. The buckles and straps are strong and durable. I forsee this vest lasting me a long time.

Saw these online and liked the idea of a different color for my second dog. Order arrived quickly and as advertised. Held up great through a week of pheasant hunting in SD through weeds and standing corn.

I wantrd something that wasn't loose fitting on my 36 lb French Brittany. So I went with "S" size. It leaves most of his back exposed but covers his chest and sides perfectly. My iniital concern was it might be a lttle tight around his front legs and possible cause chaffing. This proved to be unfounded. He has worn it now for 5-6 eight hour hunts without issue. It does a great job protecing his under belly and sides from scrapes, cuts and ect. It works great!

Great vest!!! The only issue I have with it is the shoulder/front leg holes seem small and do not allow a lot of room for running and proper fit on my large lab. I know I'm being nick-picky but other than that this vest is one of the best I've found. We hunted all weekend with no issues.

Overall, this is one of the best and most rugged vests I've used. Very durable material and easy to put on the pooch. It stays put once on. As for fit, I see some opportunity for improvement. The neck doesn't fit great. Its a little loose. Allows debris to get in. A neoprene section might solve that. Extending the belly pan would also be helpful. It doesn't go far enough back to protect all of the dog's lower belly.

I am very pleased with my purchase of the SYLMAR body vest I bought for my Chocolate Lab. The vest fit nice and doesn't slide or bunch up on her. Would recommend this to all hunters looking for some body protection for their hunting partner.

Great product well-made first year hunting dog pheasant.

Well built. Fixt well with suitable adjustment.

Makes my beagle much more visible while at the same time fitting great. It was a little different than hher winter coat which is just a blanket over her but she got used to it in a few minutes. Would recommend this for anyone who hunts with their dog.

Fits great but have not had a chance to use it in feild

We haven't been pheasant hunting yet but it took about 1 hour for my lab to be used to wearing it and it fit well.

Great for my Brittany who has very little hair on chest and belly.

Goes on easily. Fits well with a martingale collar or harness if needed.

I searched all over for an upland vest to fit my English Cocker Spaniel, Lilly. The Sylmar vest in extra small short fit like it was tailor made for her. I have one for my lab that’s going on it’s third season so I’m confident this will hold up. It looks great on her too.

Good vest. Extra Small fits my 34lb cocker, Gus. Does not seem to bother Gus. The underside or black part of the vest is double ply the material, so it offers good protection from puncture. Gus is brown so he is hard to see unless there is snow on the ground. The orange is perfect. Also the vest is cut in such a way that allows Gus (male) to pee without getting his vest wet. I have seen other vests that cover or rub on the male dogs. All in all I look forward to using this vest this next season.

I have a comment on the design. The nylon straps should be sewn to the edge of the orange vest material. This will provide superior comfort for the dog and reduce the snagging potential. vest gaps a bit much in the top front of the chest. I have made a number of orders over the years and find your service very good. None better. Hunt 2 brittanies with numerous friends and family Jim

Bought the vest for my Boykin Spaniel for pheasant hunting as she gets full of burs and stickers. The season is over here but I did run her with the vest on a couple days ago. She's 35 lbs and a small fits well.

bought the vest to help keep an eye on my gsp in the woods and to protect him from old barb wire fencing and briars associated with running in the woods had no idea how much stuff he could get into until i saw the scars on the vest. Glad he wears it, it doesnt have any rips or tears and fits him well, even if he should get into something to sharp for the vest i'm glad its not his skin. Worth every penny to protect a member of our family

Got the small for my french brittany and was a great fit. This vest was perfect for our desert quail hunt and kept a lot of cacti spines off his body.

These are great vests. I have more than one so I can rotate and wash if needed. They offer great protection and visibility. My setter runs through the brush and I have not ever had any durability issues. Another plus is they are Made In USA. My dog is about 54 pounds and wears a size medium.

Great product great price and customer service

Perfect fit , well constructed. Great ordering instructions, fast shipping, very well built!

We had ordered a orange vest from you.. when we received it, looked good, fit good and easy to put on.

On the first day out, my dog ran chest first into some barbed wire. Not a scratch on the dog because the vest protected him. Not even a scratch on the vest. Combined with the easier visibility in the brush, this vest has already been worth its cost. Dog didn't mind it at all either.

This is a top quality vest worth every dollar to protect my GSP. We put a lot of time and effort in training our dogs and need to do all we can.to protect them. Thanks for carrying a great product

My dog does not like to wear a vest of any kind. That being said, this vest is less binding than the others I have, and thus she doesn’t fight it quite so much. I like the fit and the vest is well made and durable. The only complaint I might have is that the fabric is noisy. That might be a benefit to me as I can hear where she is, but a detriment also as the birds hear her too! Noisy is the only reason I gave this vest 4 stars instead of 5 stars.

Finding a good vest for their body farm has bred difficult. These vests after the first two days of hunting are doing great. I’m still examining of the piping around the front legs will run too much due to their Comparatively small chests but so far so good!

Attaches great and is very adjustable for a comfortable fit. Doesn't interfere with our dogs movement.

Took my dogs hunting and they each wore one of these vests. They were easy to spot in the woods, the dogs had no trouble moving in them, and they stayed well protected. Definitely recommend.

Great quality, well made, and bulletproof. We hunt a lot around 7 foot blackberry bushes, they can rip up our dog. This vest protects perfectly!

This was the first time I purchased one of these it protected my boy well. But the it rubbed him raw under the front legs I may have got the wrong size. But according to the video on sizing it was the right size. I adjusted it according to the video so it would not rub him raw but it still did. I don’t know if they will let me return it to try the next size down. It seamed like it was a little to long in the length. So not sure if that is why it rubbed him raw.

I love this vest for my dog! I just went ‘live’ with it at a recent pheasant hunt. She moved easily as she ran the fields retrieving over 65 bird’s, remained protected in the heavy cover and under brush. It was easy for me to spot her while she worked (orange vest). She has tried a couple other vests and I could not get the fit I wanted for her. This one was different! Thanks for a great product!

This is the second vest I've gotten, first one lasted 8 years and is really still usable just a little stiff since I probably didn't take good care of it.

We had a big crop of sticker (sand) burrs in S Texas this year and we tried the vests on cockers. Without the vest extending down the legs, it pushed the burrs into the dog's arm pits and actually within the front section, then pressing into the body as the dog ran forward. Please get a manufacturer to extend down the legs and over the shoulders.

I've only had this on my dog a couple of times - she's not a fan of wearing clothes but she tolerates it. I wish it extended a little further back to protect her whole belly. She loves to run through the brush, and climb rocks. I am always fearful that she will injure herself - this helps alleviate my fears. The next time she crashes over a fallen tree she might be glad she's wearing this too. I also like the fact that it's a bright colour. There are hunters where we hike and this will let them know she's not a game animal.

I purchased this because my first vest from Dan's Briarproof bit the dust after one season of hunting every weekend in the Ruffed Grouse woods of Northern Michigan. That vest was alright, but where that vest lacked, this vest certainly makes up for it. This vest covers more of the side of the dog, making the dog more visible. Additionally, the third buckle is extremely useful and seems well stitched together (this is where Dan's skid plate was seriously lacking). The third buckle helps fit around the dog's chest, allowing our Brittany to fit into this vest perfectly, with a small space between the front of the vest and her neck. Finally, the material seems pretty comparable to Dan's, except on the underside of the dog where there is much more protection and thicker material. I wish I could give this 4.5 stars if possible, as I think there is a little bit lacking in design. It would be fantastic to see elastic around the neck area so it hugs the dog's body better. While hunting in Michigan, you run into snow more often than you would like, and with the decent size opening between the neck and the vest, a good amount of snow finds its way into the vest, which we found made the dog cold more quickly.

I run these vests on both of my Field Bred English Cockers. One vest is 5 years old and still in use. ( I attach a bell to the most rear - ward strap to keep the bell further from their ears )

This vest is well made and is great for our dog. She has thinner hair on her chest area and this keeps her from getting all cut up pheasant hunting. It is also very lightweight but durable and doesn't cause any chaffing issues in the armpits (legpits) of our dog.

it will work i know its hard to get a custom fit to fit all dogs but it will work fine.

Received order on time. It fits good and it looks like it will hold up better than the ones that I had before

According to the sizing chart if you are between sizes use the smaller version. Well my 41 pound English Setter was in between so I originally ordered the XS. It was too tight in the arm pits. Super easy to exchange and now have the small. Much better fit. Has enough room where it won’t bother her armpits. Chest covering sits a little too open and will probably catch a lot of seeds and junk. I may it tailored just to take up the slack. In my opinion the are mandatory for English setter’s and GSPs where they are hard charging through all the brush and downed timber looking for grouse. A puncture to the chest or abdomen would certainly wreck you day.

This vest works great, our brit adjusted quickly and its helped to reduce cuts and scrapes.

I had used a similar vest, but it became tattered in just a few hunts. This fabric is thicker on the orange body and chest protector. It is completely without frays after nearly 6 hours in the field.

This vest is well made and easy to put on. The size chart is accurate.
