Krystal,

The vest that Catch was wearing last weekend was one of those RP outdoor vests.  He still gets hot in it just like any other vest, however, that vest gives him the best range of motion that I have tried yet.  They offer exceptional protection but I dont think that they will last long because they seem to have fabric stuffed in them, kinda of like quilting, which I think ads more insulation defeating the purpose of the eyelets.  I havent had anything poke through it yet, but I am sure that will change soon.  As for the purpose of the eyelets it my understanding that the vest and dog need to be wet for it too cool the dog by convection.  I have only had one vest that never got cut through and Bib Register made it.  Hoot Gibson took his design but left out some layers.  That vest would stop a .22LR and point blank range.
