 I use Josh Whites, only had 2 in 10 yrs bc they last forever, the newer one I got only weighs as much as a coke can/water proof etc and was cheaper than the duncan Aus brand. Basically not penetrable either.

Compared to US style vests there much more convenient IMO b/c its all one piece breast plate and collar and only 3 buckles, quick and easy with a buckle on the bottom for hooding etc

That said I use a typical lead in scott bred AB for my 1* cd not staggs etc, but when I used his measurements on his site I just made it more US/ lead in style going back behind the shoulder further than the plate etc to get the best of both worlds ( light weight, cooler, does not restrict motion, jumping etc)  and he has been good at making them custom for lead ins as well as the straight aussie style - had several friends use his gear with same opinion as mine. If Josh couldnt do it check out Duncan or Paul T Gardens.

I could text pics if you want but forgot how to post them on this forum.

  In my opinion the dog is way too Vulnerable in the lower chest/armpit area.I have run eight different stags and stag crosses in these plates, but recently have hung these plates up. A lot of people use  them and use them successfully but after  having dogs take serious hits in the forementioned areas, I have gone back to the guardian vest fit just a little loose on my running style dogs. I really don't think it slows a dog down that much. I know people are going to say that my dogs is holding style is poor and that's why they were exposed, That's fine, but it will just be a matter of time if you hunt long enough and catch hogs that they will take an unnecessary beating on their underside - especially if a rank boar makes it into the brush.

 With that being said, Josh White makes excellent products and is a very honest person to deal with. If you were going to buy a plate, I would highly recommend him.

I feel the same as you on your opinion...your opinion that was formed through experience...and some will say you stags don't hold clean or whatever...I don't run that style of dog but if I did my logic would not allow me to use that style of protection...some of my dogs wear vest the whole time and they keep up with the dogs that don't have running vests...not much difference in the running vests I use and catch vests...
