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

[M Bennet]

boarmom you should fix this vest for justin , cause this boy has had two dogs get cut up through this vest or help him out. he has called and yall wont do anything about it. at least larry or pand p will fix it or replace it. this boy is upset cause he spent over 200 for this vest and the first hog he caught it put 9 holes in it . iv used larrys for 7 yrs and never had one of his c-vest get cut through. ill back anybodys vest if its good thats my and justin .02 cent worth.

From what I've been reading on various threads, the Devastator is one of the best vests for movement and less irritation around the dog's shoulders. I think I read somewhere where somebody gave the example that his catch dog could not load into the truck with one brand but loaded just as easy with the Devastator than without a vest. I'm interested not only in the protection the vest provides but also how freely the dog can move and a vest that won't rub the dog's "armpits" RAW!

How well can the dog move in Larry Parrish's vest? Any pics of one?

 mine moves just fine jumps in the truck with it on an all, I have seen M bennets dogs jump in the truck with there vest to and also move just fine

Thanks for the pic.  Does that neck extention have a habit of laying down when it gets wet or the dog runs thru cover?  I talked to larry yesterday and he is a helluva nice guy.  I'm probably going to order a vest from him but not sure about options like the neck extention, built in cut collar, and leg flaps.

[SwampHunter]

I started putting the collar around the neck extension so it didn't start laying down

M Bennet,
I sent you a pm.

Customcollar vest ain't worth two cents in my opinion got six holes poked straight through the vest and one straight through the cut collar bout the third hog it was used on I called them told em what had happened they didn't wanna hear about it I ask em if they could fix it for me (we dint do repair work) needless to say the conversation went down hill from there. They were super nice when I called and ordered but soon as I sad it got holes all in it he flat called me a lying SOB

I ve seen M bennet stab his larry parrish vest several times with a sharp knife and it didnt go thru it!!

HERE IS A QUOTE FROM CUSTOM COLLARS OWN WEB PAGE, THOUGHT IT WOULD WORTH THE READ. I TRUST 100% IN THERE VEST BUT TO EACH HIS OWN

Want to know why we choose ballistic nylon over Kevlar? When hunting hogs it is a given that the dog is either going to sweat or get into water. Kevlar loses its effectiveness when it gets wet. We have some competitors that say this isn't true and that it is more effective than the ballistic nylon. Please do yourself a favor and click on the link and see what the U.S. Department of Justice says.
We will not try to decide for you, just inform you.  We are located only 35 miles from one of the plants that make the bullet proof vests and they told us that Kevlar is ONLY effective in multiple layers, but is not effective if exposed to UV light and water. You can also visit Dupont's website and see the technical data on stab resistant vests and they have to be 18-22 layers.

HERE IS A LINK WHERE YOU CAN SEE THERE INFO AND LINK OUT TO SUPPORT THERE CLAIMS, the dept. of justice info is under Body Armour, the topics A-Z catagorey

Don't know anything about the kevlar but dogs can't sweat. They pant to regulate their body temperature.

Maybe I missed it. What is the vest made from? How does the dog do in the heat or in the water? Does he make different colors and straps?

[Purebreedcolt]

Man wish my dogs sweated maybe they would stay cooler man where do I get one of those sweating dogs lol

[TimmsHogDogs]

Ive been using Extreme Outdoors gear and find it excellent and he guarentees everything, if something happens to the gear that isnt suppose to he will fix it or replace it.

[waylon-N.E. OK]

Maybe they sweat in mississippi it's humid enough there to I didn't say, just copied and pasted it and obviously didn't catch it either

[TColt]

Dogs do not sweat and kevlar is not designed to prevent stabs and/or cuts. Im not a big kevlar fan. Bullet proof vests 40-50+ layers of kevlar and even these do not stop all knife stabs. I think the only kevlar that is designed to prevent cuts and stabs is "turtle skin", which has a tighter weave.

[SCHitemHard]

I know a fella who tried to make a chainmail lined with kelvar type vest, to heavy for my taste but it worked, we got to stab it

the vest im usin now is made out of seatbelt lol and I havent had a hog that can even chew through the leg flaps. I think the kevlar works, especially for how light it is. Mine is not as long as a regular vest, its a "breast plate", but it probably still weighs the same as a regular full length vest. Im not sayin one is write or wrong or anything like that, hell I used to use a bay vest on my cd and they are like one or two layers or somethin and I never got a cut on him in that (had a few slices through it but nothin that broke his skin). I like a dog to move freely, Im willing to give up some protection cuz I feel a good cd should be able to get out of the way and keep himself safe more than the vest keeps him safe. Keep the vitals covered and Im happy.

All of my gear comes from tejas have never had any problems from them.
