I have taken my 2 year old gsp out a few times this year pheasant hunting and her chest gets torn up. I am looking for a good dog vest. I have read alot of reviews were the vest rubs the dogs arm pits raw after a day in the field. What vest do u guys use that doesnt affect your dog?

I like this Cabelas vest, I've had it for 2 years now and never had any problems with it. Also, the back is open on the vest, so you can use it when it's hotter out as well.

Nanky is that the cabelas ripstop chest protector

+1 on the Cabela's vest!

the one in the picture is the one  my lab wears worked great  its adjustable on the back . loose around leg areas ect got it on sale for $18.00 cabellas

You can also trim the neoprene around the leg openings to prevent chaffing.

I say to stay away from any neoprene vest for hunting upland, especially on a shorthaired dog, too much running.  I don't think you can trim enough off to keep it from rubbing raw somewhere.  

The vest in the picture is NOT the one that is on sale for 18.00 .  Its something like 35-36 bucks , but well worth it . The one pictured is the one you want for upland game hunting

There you go.

Just my .02 but you might want to check out the "skid plate". I had picked one up at Scheels a few years ago and it seems like a good one.

Just had my 3 1/2 yr old black lab fixed, anything that would cover that area for a few weeks? or am I out of luck for a month of hunting him

the one in the picture i beleive is the rip stop chestprotector i got it for $18.00 on sale from cabellas on a sales card  in the box when i ordered other items a month ago , now i see it at $34.99 on sale. the other one i tried first was the 5mm neoprene vest at $39.99 i got a medium i beleive and it was to tight for 7month old lab. sent back for this other one and like it better . has 3 straps adjustable in back, the neoprene has large velcro strip . the one i have there was no cutting no problem ,like it....

I just ordered the rip stop from cabelas will have to see how well it works out Thanks for the help
