I too am a fan of the devastator. I've ran several different brands. A minor detail I like is all the cross stitching in the chest area. It limits the the fraying when one does get cut. Mobility is the biggest part of a good vest to me. Then weight and the ability to stay as cool as possible. I personally think some get carried away with the number of layers in a vest. I think about it like this, that vest is acting as a cover skin so to speak. When a dog gets cut, 9 out of 10 times the skin cut and the muscle cut don't line up. You have to roll the skin in one direction or another to see the muscle cut. That's because the skin rolls with the momentum of the thrust of the hog. The vest does the same thing. I believe having that second skin and it being tougher than actual skin is usually plenty to keep a dog safe even if it goes through the vest. I have had cut throughs in ever kind of vest made, even wet felt. I can count on one hand how many times the dog was cut even though the hog went all the way through the vest. There are exceptions of course and in those cases it isn't gonna matter what you have on it. So I try to keep mobility, and keep it light and cool. You gotta think in dog terms too. Ounces to us are pounds to dogs. I am a fan of high leg holes so a dogs reach isn't interrupted and over lapping, well sewn leg flaps. Chin guards are nice at times but sometimes I think they are a hindrance about 50/50 honestly, JMO.
