Not built for hunting
September 17, 2021
Although this vest will provide warmth it will not hold up to hunting conditions. I purchased two of these, both were torn on the first hunt. I sewed them up after each hunt but they did not make it through one season before they were beyond repair.
Pros
  • Warm
Cons
  • Poor durability

I have two of these and both of them get tears every time out. I sewed them up but after 5 hunts both are useless. Liked the comfort and warmth but not durable enough for a bird hunting dog.
Pros
  • Good visibility
  • Warm
Cons
  • Durability

I love this, full chest protection when running through brush. The visibility is fantastic. There is a small snap button at the beginning of the zip...make sure you use it because it stops the zip from becoming undone and losing the jacket.

My 55# dog Theo was between sizes. The large is just a little loose but overall a good fit. He can run and crash around through the woods and it doesn't limit his movement. Good quality, handsome, and allows me to worry less about him being mistaken for a small deer during hunting season!

Really nice quality vest. My dog has a deep chest and this is the only vest that I have tried that does not turn to one side or the other when he is running. I feel a lot better about having him run loose during hunting season, as it is highly visible. Very satisfied with purchase.

This is the only vest we could find big enough for our 100-160 lb dogs. We love the material! The same soft-shell I wear myself. The dogs seem to really like their vests. The vests material and stitching as well as zippers and snaps have held up well. My dogs have worn these 8 hrs a day for 18 days now running thru the forest and playing in the creek. A few small tears/rips have happened to the vest of our roughest dog. Nothing a few stitches won't fix. Great product!

Seems to fit good. I suppose the rather snug fit is desirable. Have not used it yet, but I hunt chukars clear into January in 30-40 degree temps. This is a very light weight vest, so will see if it provides some needed warmth. Quality appears top notch. I start the season hunting sharptails in Montana in September. The last two years have had cold rain and / or snow at least part of the hunt. May have to try it out then! Also my dog is a smallish viszla, about 42 pounds and a Large fits snug.

I called customer service about sizing since my Springer was between sizes and they suggested that I order two sizes and return the one that didn't fit. I'm glad I followed their advice she returned the wrong size very easily. We live in NYC and get so many compliments on the style of the vest and it's perfect for our many hikes outside the city (especially in the snow). Great fit! Thanks for the great customer service!

This vest provides good visibility as well as a little warmth for my 20 month old GSP. A little baggy around the flank, but I'm hoping it's room for him to fill out. (I can add a picture if you like)

Vest is well made, but FIT is a problem. Used LARGE size last winter, but it was too snug this year (old dog putting on some weight), so ordered X-LARGE replacement hoping it would be just somewhat larger - but XL is huge in comparison to L, fits WAY too loose and floppy. Wife took it up some, but it's still not a very good fit. These vests are great, but would be SUPER-GREAT if the back had some stretch panels sewn in on each side of the zipper, may be made of thin Neoprene? Then I could stick with Large size. Or just not make it such a huge step up in size between Large and X-Large!!! I can't image what could wear an XXL... A Shetland pony, maybe?

Review for CLEARANCE -- ORANGE Hurtta Polar Dog Visibility Vest
December 1, 2015
When it arrived there were a number of places where the stitching on the hem was defective. I contacted you and Lydia kindly agreed to send a replacement when you get another one in stock. Until then, we are using this one and have been disappointed. The fabric, zipper, color, and overall design are great. Our spinone has worn it 5-6 times, and already there are multiple places where the stitching has failed and come apart all along the bottom hem. The thread used appears to be a thin, low quality thread not at all suited for a performance item such as this. Given the overall quality of material and design, I am surprised that the manufacturer would skimp on the thread. Perhaps, mine is defective the replacement will hold up.

It's actually a great coat for visibility, but on a dog that runs in the woods, it doesn't hold up. The second day the fabric came loose from the zipper, and I had to sew it up. On the fourth use, it ripped at the leg and was ruined. I would highly recommend this for leash walkers especially at night, but not for dogs in the woods.

My Roxy is brindle colored, so we always keep an orange vest on her when out in the woods. I bought the medium size when she was younger, and it worked great, so now that she's grown we got her the large size. Well made and it fits well, giving full range of motion. Very visible. Resists snags or tears. Nice heavy zipper. G

Good fit, well made, easy to put on and take off our squirming and very active Lab mix. A little lighter weight material than I expected, but has a nice fine-grained fleece interior and a smooth exterior that doesn't tend to catch on stuff. Nice vest. Sizes seem to run small, had to exchange the medium for a large. After a few days of wear showed some wear on the exterior edge seam stitching, but the wife fixed that easily on her sewing machine, and also added some reinforcing stitching to that area. Personally, I feel it's a little overpriced for what it is, but it fits so well I'd probably buy another if this one bites the dust one day.

First vest that my dogs haven't lost. Great visibility. One improvement I'd recommend is more reinforcement in the chest area. One vest has already torn after 4 weeks. Other than that a good vest.

The one for the lab is a little big, and the one for the boxer mix is a little too snug, such that the zipper unzips a little with movement. They seem to be staying in place ok so far, but they're getting dirty fast as one has to slide them from the dogs' legs. I like the fact that they are nice and bright and visible, but the material seems pretty delicate, so I'm concerned that they're going to rip in the underbrush.
