Overview
Built for hunters who want added protection and support for their dog in the field, this vest combines naturally insulating neoprene with two flotation pads for comfort and buoyancy. The contoured neck design is intended to improve fit around the neck and legs, while the top handles make lifting and handling easier when needed. A dog leash clip adds convenience, and the multiple bar-tacked areas allow trimming for a more tailored fit. With three available sizes, it’s designed to help you match the vest to your hunting partner more precisely.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sizing is limited to three options, so getting the right fit depends on matching neck and chest measurements closely.
- The vest uses 5 mm neoprene, which adds insulation and protection but may feel warmer or less flexible in mild conditions.
- Flotation pads add buoyancy, but this is still a vest rather than a substitute for close supervision around water.
- The contoured design and trim points help with fit, yet some dogs may still need adjustment around the neck and leg areas.
