Here is a picture of my dog in the Gladiator vest. I do not have enough time in it to give a good opinion yet but when I do I'll let yawl know. However, I can say I like the way the vest feels and fits and like the adjustable chin guard. It is light weight and has good movement, even wet. It does not seem to hinder my dogs at all and I do feel they have the most protection they can get. Yes, it will be too hot in the summer months. My Guardian is too small for Sledge so I though I’d try something new. When I find some dang hogs over 100lbb with some teeth I’ll update ya……
