All I hoped for and more!!

Good protection in dense field. Dog moves easily with it.

Great quality and easy to fit.

This vest is easy to put on and take off the dog. Very durable compared to others we have tried. Our dog had an injury to her chest and this vest does a great job of protecting that area from further injury.

The vest is sturdy and easy to put on. I would definitely buy another one.

The chest portion is too wide at the top. It does not breath so he sweats a lot on his lower chest area. It does provide good protection. No cuts from barbed wire.

A small vest is hard to find. The fit was just right, it stays on her very well when she is hunting. Good stuff!!

The vest fits perfectly with plenty of space on the front latch in order to mount a Gopro camera, good construction to protect his chest while flushing Pheasant and Chucker in heavy cover. I got the Yellow/ Tan due to the other Cockers having the orange/ black, now I can tell who's pup is doing all the work.

Great service by Gun Dog Supply.

Ordered size small for my 34lb boykin and it fit great. Easy to locate her running in the field and through the brush. Does a good job of protecting her from thorns. Would purchase again! I have ordered numerous items from Gun Dog Supply and have always been impressed with their products/selection/service.

A great vest! Good materials and good fit. I can pick my dog up with it! I use it around floribunda and briars so she doesn't get shy of going in hard. The sizing chart is a little tricky to use. My dog is 22 inches around the chest. I went for Extra Small because of that measurement and had to exchange it for a Small to get good body coverage. That size was correct on the chart according to her weight. Spaniels are on the small end of sporting dog world and their proportions are different from the larger dogs, so take care.

The buckles should be like a collar instead of plastic, and should also have velcro along the seam.

Great product. Fits my dog perfectly. Gives great protection and does not conflict with my dog. He likes to wear it, gets excited.

The vest has been fantastic in protecting my dog in the Cactus and briars found all over Texas. The service from gun dog has been exceptional as well!

This is a great dog vest and has saved my LM from multiple barbed wire incidents. I would highly recommend this to others. It is easy to put on her and the orange sides are great to help see her in tall North Dakota prairie grasses.

The order was shipped quickly, and I received the vest very fast. I will order dog supplies in the future because it was fast and easy.

It's good. I do like it, but the reason it is not excellent is the buckle gets snagged on branches in the thick stuff.

It would be nice if it was all orange.

I have a lot of fences that I have to cross, and the buckles catch when she goes under the fence sometimes. Other than that I like the vest a lot.

Just received the vest. I needed to return the small in exchange for a medium, but the new one fits great.

Fits great, and now my dog gets excited when he sees it because he knows he is going hunting.

The Sylmar body guard dog vest is by far the best vest I've had. The protection it provides for my dogs and high visibility surpasses any of those I had before. Very durable and cleans up easily. Easy to put on and very easy to take off with clips. I highly recommend it.

Fits my dogs perfectly, and they both love the vest!

Got it to protect my dog after he got stitches on the side of his brisket. Fits and works great and will prevent further injuries for sure.

Fits great.

High visibility. Protected Molly's core from burs and seed pods. Will check it out on cactus in a week.

However, I need to send it back and get a bigger size.

Ordered a large which fits perfectly right now, as our dog is only 10 mos old and still filling out. There is some room to grow into. I read some reviews where the complaint was front drooped open a bit and scooped up dirt and brush. We did not have that issue. I'm thrilled that we now can see him through the tall grass.

It fits and works reasonably well. It would work better on my dog particularly if she had heavier coat. She is thinly haired and the vest will chafe her some on hunts more than a couple of hours long, but that is her, not the vest.

It had a large tear within the first hour on a barbed wire fence. But it fits good. I got it patched up, and we are good to go. There is no tougher test than a good hunting dog on opening weekend!

Steve, My male wirehaired had an encounter with a nutria, the nutria ultimately lost, but not before leaving 14 stitches in our males front shoulder. The vest worked great for keeping the wound protected, and I will continue letting both of my dogs wear this vest throughout the hunting season. Great fit and apparently comfortable to the dogs as neither seem to even notice it. Eddie Stocks, Madoc Farms, Tarboro, NC

LOVE IT!!!!!! Very durable.

Just got back from hunting Grouse and Woodcock in Michigan for a week. Vest did it's job protecting my dog, plus great visibility.

I really like these vests. We have been hunting the thick brush with a lot of thorns and thickets. The vest are sturdy and have great visibility. They are easy to put on and adjustable.

Stood up well to fences, brush and wetlands (gumbo mud) in SD. Tossed into washer on gentle cycle with Tide and look new. Fit well, and dogs weren't restricted by them. Excellent product!

These vests are by far the best for protecting a dog while hunting, and they can handle years of use without tearing to pieces. The different colors available allow me to easily identify the dogs in the field.

Took my German Shorthaired Pointer about 2 minutes to get used to. It fit perfect. Easy to see in the field.

Fits great. It's hard to find things for a hard running 28lb dog. He doesn't even notice it is on really. We did start with it in the mowed back yard playing fetch and doing agility exercises before we went in the field. Lots fewer scrapes and burrs. It does need a bit of breaking in as the instructions state.

My Vizsla female runs hard in the field, and this vest protects her chest and undercarriage from scrapes and scratches. Love it.

Best vest on the market.

Fits great.

Good protection, easy to apply, good visibility, lightweight and allows dog to be cool.

Sizing was easy. Vest good construction. Gets softer with use. Use it with the dog early, so it gets used to it. Very good product. Thanks Steve.

I can't comment on the Sylmar vest without commenting on its predecessor, the Skid Plate. I bought the SkidPlate a year ago for my young dog and in one of her first hunts she was badly injured. She impaled herself on a fallen branch and severed a pectoral muscle. She was laid up for part of September and all of October. I believe that the scoop neck of the vest guided the branch into the dog and prevented it from slipping off the dog. I modified the vest by sewing a piece of canvas across the front and had no problems for the remainder of the season. The Skid Plate's coverage was also a little sparse across the chest and belly. The Sylmar has better coverage in those areas but also has a scoop in the neckline that could cause the same problem I had with the Skid Plate. I sewed a tuck in the upper front to lessen it. It is also slightly harder to put on the dog.because of the leg holes. I think both products need to be improved before I would feel comfortable using them.

Love the vest, and it fits great.

After other Chinese vests, this is superior.

After losing 10 days of shed hunting due to a barb wire injury, and $350 due to surgical stitching, vast is perfect. Easy to put on, durable, and exceptionally visible. I should have spent the money on the front end! Shipping was fast, inexpensive, and the customer service was fantastic.

This is one of few dog vests that protects the upper chest area of our dog. Great product!

Fits well, and looks sturdy and comfortable (he hasn't complained). It seems that it will keep him from getting hurt most of the time from a boar, and that's all I can hope for.

Fits great and durable.
