2X the Filson dog vest/chest protector... work great.
South centralI have always had labs and never felt the need for using vests in extreme cold and rough conditions. My son picked the last dog which is actually a Lab/Shorthair mix. great dog but seems to shiver a lot, I think it is more anxiety than cold. When hunting seems to be no need for vest.
Hunted with English pointer years ago, they seemed like they would have benefitted from vests and boots as it was icy, cold and we were hunting some cat tail marshes where the birds were hold up. I do like those Filson chest protectors.
Ugly Dog, what part of Iowa you from?
Who are you worried about shooting your dog?I run my GSP in that vest to keep from getting her shot. I don't hunt when temps are above 60. I also have just a chest vest look up stone creek hounds. It's heavy duty but just straps on the side.

I wish I had the luxury of not have hunted my Brittany in certain temps and with certain clients.Who are you worried about shooting your dog?
