is the p&p vest 9 ply in chest and around ribs
Monte, I ordered it to be double re-enforced in the chest area over his normal catchdog vest.....which looking thru the cut means 6 layers. The rib area is I guess 4 layers. If 6 layers won't do it it won't work for me. As is, the vest probably retains more body heat then either of the other vest. Not a scientific fact, rather an observation we made after running it on about 10 hunts and seeing how hot the dogs got and the necessity to remove the vest to allow for proper cool down....not required with the other vest on the same hunts. This time of year I worry about heat as much as the hogs so I'm willing to go any thicker.
If you would like this on for a back up, I sell it to you for $50 (was 110 brand new). I does has several cuts thru it though...two from a hog and several more from comparison testing.
