Best neoprene vest???

Post by birdyhunter » Sat Dec 01, 2012 11:58 am

Anyone have any suggestions on which vest fits gsp's the best? Don't really have anywhere to go check them out and I imagine the majority of them are made for the larger bodied labs. Have been looking at the avery, the dokken and the Drake vests but would be open to any suggestions.

Why are you interested in a neoprene vest?

I've tried most of them on a large vizsla and none of them worked well. I'm just going to have some made.

I have an inexpensive Avery I use on my shorthairs. I will add this: I have three dogs of various sizes. The vest is skin tight on the biggest one and seems to lock heat is because there is literally no room for water. Down side is it has already ripped a bit with him in it becuase the neoprene does not seem to be super durable. I would not have the problem with the smaller girls I have who wear it. Mine is a medium and fits anywhere from a 45 to 60 # dog. Will definitely go with a large for a bigger dog.
