Best of your cut gear? (vest, collars, anything!)

[Yeller305]

I always tend to strive for the best protection for my dogs and although I can read all the information I want nothing is more informative and knowledgeable then experience. So whats the best cut gear you have ever use or used?
best bay vest?
best catch vest?
best collar?
Curios to know.   

[BULLMASTER]

I have tried several different vest and collars and have to say I like UglyDogs stuff the best,stay away from Custom Collars or Confederate Kennels products.I also like Hoot Gibsons gear,especially the cut collars.

[Purebreedcolt]

Do a search but ugly dog larry parish and hard core kennels is the only three I would run vests cut collars I like the ones I build

[Yeller305]

hear alot about larry but never able to get  in contact with him, anyone know what he makes his vest outta?
also what bout hoot gibson never heard of him?

[Purebreedcolt]

Heard about hoots vests never seen one several on here like them just don't have any first hand experience with them but do with the three I mentioned.  Have some ezperience with others I would not even put on a loose baying dog lol

[Yeller305]

and what might those be?

[BULLMASTER]

I cant speak for everybody but I wouldnt use a vest or collar from TX Confederate Kennels if they were free.

I run a cut vest from custom collars and its been real good it has a cut collar built into it its all ballistic nylon

[ChaseG]

All the collars I run are from customcollars. I've never had a problem with them and they have took a beating. Now their vests I'm not so big on. I went through two like paper. I run a tejas and a uglydog vest now. I like them. The ugly dog is better. But my next vest will be a Larry parish vest. Which hopefully I'll be buying it soon.

[waylon-N.E. OK]

All I have now is custom collars gear, all my friends here use only there gear.  None of us have ever had a single issue with any of there gear, never had a vest fail or there gear come apart or rub a dog raw ect. ect. ect. and there well priced as well. I did own a ugly dog kevlar not long ago, it was a good vest as well no complaints about it except the price compared to custom collars, other than that they were about equal in all respects.

God bless, Waylon

X2 Ballistic Nylon is not rated high enough on cut resistance. The cut resistant material goes on the inside. So it may look shredded but what about the dog? A frag jacket even with plates is good for saving your life once. A direct hit will damage Codura or whatever is on the inside. Layers make everything more cut resistant. But pound for pound the Kevlar will give better protection if handled correctly.

My catch dogs wear Kevlar and Kevlar only. I vcan say that I have owned almost one of every type and brand out there.
My preference is the Devastator that is sold by Wild Boar USA/Uglydog ranch, I use some of their other vests also but the Devastor is the best all around protection, light weight, cool in summer, dog can swim in it, run it with full range of motion and jump in it  ALL DAY LONG without rubbing sores if a dog gets underneath a hog it can still get to its feet and not be like a turtle. It fits more types and builds of dogs than any other vest on the market, from Dogos to little squatty pit bulls and even cur dogs.

we use armadillo gear...works gand fits great

I have had Great success with Duncans pig dog supply and J S enterprise. Ive used the duncan a little longer, about a year now but its really quality stuff. There is no seperation between the vest and collar and offers all the protection and maximum agility without any chafing of the legs. I send them measurements that go back longer to the ribs since I use lead in cd's and the Aussie style typically only covers the front shoulders. I can post a pic if interested, I believe its seatbelt material.

I bought 3 bay vests from them as well and they are horrible, very dissapointed with durability and always rubs the dogs raw. I even bought their knife and it was like taking a spoon hunting... And I agree the duncan stuff from josh is much better, especially for the hot days I would usually only use a collar on the cd.

[Yeller305]

Getting some real good stuff here.
hear alot bout cut gear i have never heard of or dont know where to get.
regardless another question to y'all you guys say a certain  brand but what model of that brand
ugly dog or custom collars or Duncan pig gear

I tell everyone that the regular bib offers very little protection.  Now take that same bib and add two layers of kevlar and you have a very useable piece of equipment that offers significant protection for catchy dogs.
