Why dont yall just do what we did one of the best vest I have seen and it has seen as many rank boars as anybodys vest and its still going strong, had a peice of wet velt sewen on around the chest and part of the sides and underneath. Works great and not to heavy and the dog can still swim fine with it . Just find a good vest a lighter one that is tuff that you like and get it sewed on . Aint that pretty but who gives a damn about pretty its what works that matters just ask you dog. Then if it gets cut threw you got nobody to bitch at but yourself .
