Dog Harness,Tactical Dog Harness with Handle,No-Pull Service Dog Vest with Hook & Loop Panels,Adjustable Dog Vest Harness for Walking Hiking Training(Coyote Brown,X-Large)

Bought this harness for my wife's service dog for 5 days of hiking across Utah's National Parks. This review is following approximately 20 hrs of trail hiking (uphill/downhill/uneven terrain), with 5 total molly pouches attached carrying 2 liters of water, dog food/snacks, bowl, and a first aid kit. Fit-wise: Our dog is a 45lb, medium size, boxer/shepherd mutt. The Medium sized harness fit fine in both the chest and stomach area. I've had problems in the past with harnesses where the chest portion fit fine, but it was too loose around her much smaller belly area. This becomes a problem if you actually have pouches on a harness that are even slightly uneven in weight, which causes the harness to drastically slide over one side of a pups body within minutes of a walk. Specifically this harness was pretty good in making sure her weighted vest stay relatively even on her back on level terrain (it can be tightened pretty good, and the middle chest 'Y' helped), and only required occasional manual readjustment. When going downhill, if it was especially steep, the harness slid forward as can be expected, but nothing catastrophic and was eaily pulled off the back of her neck with a leash tug. Also, after all the hours of hiking, there was no fur bald spots or red skin anywhere indicating any chafing so that was good to see also. Harness Construction: There were more than a few hiking spots where I used the harness' handle to physically haul her up to a place she couldn't reach on her own, and it was pretty sturdy (45lb dog + 10 lbs gear). Also, this harness was getting scraped through underbrush, against rock faces, and a couple river crossings with no noticable failure or problems, so no complaints there either. On each side of the harness are 4 molly slots for gear configuration which pretty much rules out any molly gear that takes up 3 slots as it limits you to only using 1 of those on each side without having to resort to some janky solution. Ultimately, I found my best setup was two Fitackle 8.7" x 4.9" molle pouches on each side (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074DQHYR4/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2), and a medical 'rip-away' Molle first aid kit ontop/across her back (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074QM3VBB/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_8). FYI: A first aid kit on a dog should be rip away so you're not trying to hold a dog still while trying to get at medical supplies. Each of the molle pouches I listed is large enough to hold a 1L Nalgene bottle, so the dog could carry 4 liters of water itself (10 lbs water + pouches) , but for anyone reading these: your dog shouldn't carry more than 1/3 of it's body weight (and it should be carried across the shoulders, not the middle groove of the back, which this harness did a good job of also). Overall, I was pretty pleased with the performance of the vest, and my only recommendations would be to lengthen it *just* enough to make it 5 molly slots wide on each side so you can use a wider configuration of molly pouches/accessories, and include a trio of 1" squares of reflective velcro patches (that can go on the chest 'Y' and each side of the harness) so you can walk your dog in this harness at night (let's be honest, we're not SF operators, and actually want our dogs to be seen so they're not hit by cars and we can find them roaming about in bushes). *Note: I'll add some photos when I can.

Review update: this vest is still going strong after nearly 2 years of daily use! Incredible quality. Aina still carries his own poop bag with this vest! We also clip a light to one of the front straps at night (purchased from Amazon) and it fits so perfectly you would think they were designed for each other! We love our one Tigris vest! Original review: I extensively researched before I chose this stellar high-quality vest. We use it for running/walking every day. Features I like: -Extremely durable: our dogs are strong bully breeds. We’ve been using these daily for almost a year and no tears or rips so far. Seams are intact and no fraying. D-rings still look like new after heavy use. -while durable the vest is designed in such a way that it doesn’t overheat him. It’s just a couple of miles at a time. We run in Hawaii and I need to be cognizant of overheating him. No trouble so far. -The large handle: this is another sturdy and very useful feature of this vest. It’s rarely necessary but I can exert more control over him if I use this handle. -The molle loops: I had an ulterior motive in my search for a great vest. It was for my dog to carry his own “waste”. Originally I had planned to attach a molle pouch to the loops to put his baggie inside. It worked but was a bit bulky. We just double bag and I attach the bags to one of the loops. This system has worked perfectly. I don’t need to carry any of that around-he carries it himself! -the Velcro for his fancy patch: I had a Velcro patch made for him which looks great on his side! 😍 -Another feature I didn’t anticipate: safety. We were attacked by another dog and the vest seemed to provide some protection against the biting. -My rescue who came a long way looks very sharp in his vest and receives compliments often. He *loves* this thing. He will proudly “assume the position” to be harnessed if I even walk near the front door where it hangs on the wall.

The vest is very comfortable for my Frenchie and it's honestly very well made. It's easy to get on and off, doesnt break the bank, and it doesn't feel like a cheap and thin knock off material. It feels very high quality for the price and the Velcro on the side makes any patches clearly visible. I highly recommend this!

Es resistente y muy cómodo para mi mascota

Sizing was a little bit difficult as my dog was right between sizes, that aside the quality is great and light on my husky. The clips are good heavy quality and so far nothing has caused me any concern even with my husky testing its limits

O tamanho ficou ótimo. Eles colocaram a descrição de acordo com o tamanho, e mesmo sendo de fora, pra nós brasileiros, eles explicam se você der a medida do cão. Em relação ao colete, achei extremamente confortável no cão, pois permite espaço de respirar e tem um tecido bem generoso... Para tutores que tem cães como o meu, que puxa bastante, é uma ótima escolha. Fora que fica muito bonito e destaca o cão. Minha cadela é vira lata, com 56 cm de peito, e 38cm de pescoço, a medida S ficou excelente.

Worst product.. bad fit and was delivered damaged. Please do not buy this product you are only wasting your hard earned money

Amazing product.
