Ok im thinking about getting the beast from hardcore or the GUARDIAN KEVLAR-VEST from ugly dog ...all I need to know is the opinions from the ppl that have used them on their dogs


Title: Re: new cd vest info
Post by: Jaredmiko on March 03, 2013, 07:11:02 pm
I have no experience with (the beast) form hardcore but I have had experience with (the tank) and I love that vest we haven't had a cut thru yet and vest has been run for 2 years


Title: Re: new cd vest info
Post by: monster on March 03, 2013, 07:23:10 pm
How does the dog maneuver with the tank...do u know where harcore is located


Title: Re: new cd vest info
Post by: Jaredmiko on March 03, 2013, 07:30:05 pm
I don't know where they are located but I see no restriction in the vest and at hardcore you can add flotation to the vest.. Catch dog was swimming with the vest today

My favorite is tejas.. i havent tried many but iv had the same 2 tejas vests and havent had one pass through. And there not as heavy as some others. Just my opinion. And there price is unbeatable and quick shipping

Hardcore I'd outta Louisia.a and yes the dogs  move great in them they have a good quality kevlar in them which is important there are many diffrent qualities of kevlar and only a good one is worth paying for I've seen 3 layers of lesser stuff cut right thru

If you get a gaurdain you better tell them to make you an old style one. They are made way better and thicker than the new ones. My old one and buddies are great vest and have took beatings and held up, weighed twice as much as a new one. Buddy of mine ordered exact same vest spending same money, and it wasnt half the vest. First decent boar got on it had 3 or 4 complete passes thru it, bulldog got cut pretty good. Called and complained said they made it totally different and alot lighter than the old ones. Sent it back and they put a half a@$ patch on the front. Wont do business with them after that.

Ive got everything from their and it has held up for me so far. Weve got another vest from them it has held up great. Its like 3+yrs old and hasnt been cut thru yet. Thats how I made my decision to just keep on buying from them. Not to far from me either so I can just drive up to them.

Hardcore put a bad taste in my mouth I ordered a rcd vest last weeks and got it in and it was missing a strap. I had to send it back this mornin and I was really mad when I couldn't use it was really a hassle for me to send it back and now wait another week at least to be able to use it. But they say they will re emburse me my money for shipping. But say they are taking care of it so I will see

Well I guess it doesn't matter where u buy from. Their is always going to be sumthing wrong with the way they either make em or the service. I was trting to hear good things about the vest yall owned but it seems like everybody has negative things to say about every place lol. THANKS FOR TRYING TO HELP OUT. REALLY APPRECIATE IT


Title: Re: new cd vest info
Post by: jon on March 05, 2013, 07:38:53 pm
I know this, whenever I buy any new gear it'll be from Hardcore because yea they've made mistakes on there orders but have (from what I've seen on here) they stand behind there products and who doesnt make mistakes, also nobody has had a negative thing to say about how any of there products hold up in the woods where it really matters at... isn't that the most important part?

Monster, I have a Guardian Titan that's on it's third bulldog... hasn't been cut through yet.

On a side note, all vests can be cut through... don't believe all the sales pitches.

We have used hardcore since June of last year and ill tell you what.... They are lightweight and are one tough well made vest. These last pics are from 9 months of use on a tank vest with 2 layers of Kevlar not one pass threw and plenty of rank boars were caught with our catch dogs wearing them. Never had a Titan from ugly dog but I tried out the devastator and it's just junk sad to say it I loved the straps and the design but the quality of the Kevlar just didn't hold up to what I thought it would :/ first rank boar ripped it up like a piece of toilet paper in a matter of seconds. Also tried P&P awesome vest but way to heavy for south texas. Had two of his vest and both got pass threws held up way better then wild boar ill tell you that. Idk we are sold on hardcores vest they seem to fit right into our style of hunting

I've been all over the internet and forums looking for information on what vest to get.  And there is no consensus.  For every X is the best vest, you'll get at least one X is junk.  I talked to different people and I emailed and called the main companies and got a feel for who I liked.  So I'm kinda going on gut instinct and today ordered the Swamp Dawg Super Suit.  Drew seems like a really good guy who'll talk to you at length about his gear and his ideas for the gear.  And I really liked that his vests are all custom sized to your measurements.
