Impact Plate Vest

Information

Ultimate front end protection for dogs that gets blows under the chin and chest. This vest is a hybrid of our Tank vest and boar bib.

This quality made vest has one layer of kevlar throughout with additional layers of ballistic, cordura and viper cloth. Sewn-in urethane trauma-plates give added protection from cuts and impact. Comes standard with tracking loops and two d-rings - one on collar and one under the chin.

This is the ideal vest to protect key areas yet lightweight with room to run.

Small fits a barrel size of small 63-68cm; medium 68-73cm; large 73-78.5cm; xlarge 78.5-84cm.

How do I take measurements to ensure the best possible fit?

All measurements should be taken with the measuring tape against the body. Remember, you want the best fit possible.  Our gear is designed to lie against the contours of the body - your measurements should be taken the same way.

1.   Barrel - around the rib cage at the deepest part of the dog's chest, behind the front shoulders.

2.   Between the Front Legs - most dogs need a 2-3 inch width unless it is a special case.

3.   Body Length - between the inside of the front leg to the inside of the back leg.
