I have a $200+ guardian vest from uglydog. I had 4 layers of kevlar added to the leg flaps, chin flap and body. It has taken lots of cuts and abuse but served my dog very well. I have no complaints and extremely happy with the product.
It would be ok with you that if your $200+ vest gets blasted and cut through and the neck ripped off on one pig? And your only options that are offered by the maker is wait a month or buy a new one? HELL WANT TO BUY SOME VESTS!??
