Makes the thickest collars? I think valley creek is pretty good, just looking for other opinions.

 Thickest isnt always the best. From what I have seen the thicker ones restrict movement. Movement is more important to me then thickness. A few layers of good kevlar are much better then the thicker ones out there. Again, this is how I feel about it.

Yes even on a cd.  A catch dog that can move is less likly to get cut than one that is rigid as a board.  This is on a cd that keeps his feet the ones that lock and could care less about rather they are on their feet or not well then it won't matter lol.

I think its widely agreed that noone wants to put the thickest most restrictive vest they can on a dog, but they want the best protection for their dogs. Kevlar is catching on pretty quickly. P&P vest are usually thick but they have been proven. The kevlar provides really good protection at half the weight and more mobility.

Get your collar or vest made out of directional kevlar. Directional is made to resist picks and knives and is better then kevlar made for bullets. I use Swampdogs collars and vest because of their directional kevlar marterial and how flexible they are. The best I have used so far for not changing the movement and agility of my dogs!!

flexible and lightweight for collars and vests...and the vest that can vent off the heat...especially on a strike dog...
