I will never turn a bulldog loose without a GOOD vest on. Remember you get what you pay for. Dont go cheap. Tejas offers a felt vest with legs flaps and neck flap for 103 to my door. That is the felt one. Just got mine the other day. I havent got to test it any, but it seems like one heck of a vest.
Thats who I'll probally be ordering from now on. They definantly stand behind their products and honor their word. A buddy of mine here recently, took in several vests to them that he has been useing a good long while that were starting to show some wear and tear. They repaired them for free....
