And yes i agree they do get hot !! i dont know bout yall but we dont run our dogs in the heat of the day?? usually at night !! i also have had a dog get hung up on a fence ONCE in the 12 years i have used a vest !! i will take the vest off every now and again ! and take "That Chance" which we all know is there at any time in this sport !! i would rather fool with a vest and collar and catch a hog or two than carry a dog to the truck to docter him up and not catch that extra hog or two!!!! or three

Look at like and extra handle on a dog and heck some of the vest swamp dog is buildin have pockets on em !! good for leashes hobbles tie ropes break sticks ??
