Yes I got that vest and like it real well, with the large leg holes and no flaps there is room for some cuts but not in fatal spots, didn't have any problems with the chin flap either but the chin flap doesn't fit my big Dogo as far forward or as "tight" as it would some dogs, he gets around real good in it. Now if he doesn't get wadded up and get a big tooth behind it he'll be okay. Caught several (probably a half dozen) real good boars this winter with only one small cut right on the front of the leg where it joins the shoulder blade, also caught lots of hogs that he would have been safe without a vest. One of them in Louisiana whacked up several dogs and broke ones jaw, another up here had cut 4 baydogs up etc.
I let that cost me a real good big bulldog female once, It was hot summertime and I had a vest and collar tied on the back of my saddle, I thought I was smart and turned her loose "naked" to what I thought was a 125 lb racehorse boar due to the way it had ran and bayed and it was a trophy kind of boar. Since then they are vested 100% of the time when I send them.
When it is all said and done a vest and collar are not a 100%  guarantee but greatly put the odds in the dogs favor. I use my catch dog solo probably 95% of the time. Of course the baydogs help catch when he gets there but he is usually the only catchdog.
