[QUOTE="Ugly Dog, post: 2712350, member: 125501"] I do not put a vest on in the warmer weather say anything above the mid 30s. I too have seen guys overheat a dog to the point of collapse when working them in the summer. Another reason I liked a vest that I didn’t elaborate on earlier is the help with visibility. A high viz vest is very helpfull here in Iowa as we hunt some pretty thick and tall crp and shelter belts. I do have a beeper collar but the visual aid is nice especially when I’m hunting with other people and some of those are young hunters. you are correct on the condensation they don’t sweat through their coat. This is one of the reasons I like the open back vest. I’m really just looking more for a chest protector. Like the one mentioned or in my signature photo. I did not like the zip up neoprene vest I tried on my DD years ago for the above mentioned reasons. I also do not put vest on water dogs I witnessed an unfortunate mishap when I was younger of a guys dog getting hung up in a beaver dam and almost drowning. All good things to consider and I really appreciate the suggestions and input. This is a great place to learn. Keep ‘em coming. [/QUOTE]
