My initial review: The positive: 1. the vest fits my SD perfectly. Some other molle style vest ride too high on the neck, inhibiting movement and causing discomfort. This vest is cut back away from the neck giving plenty of room! 2. The molle attachments seem well sewn and the verticle handle appears to be sturdy. 3. The chest plate is PERFECT for deep chested dogs! It is long enough to give plenty of room behind the front legs with no rubbing or pinching. 4. There are snap buckles on both sides of the girth, which makes it super easy to put on/take off as well as adjust the girth fit.Now the negatives: 1. the chest strap is a pain to adjust since there are no snap buckles...you have to remove the vest to make any adjustments. 2. The padding in the vest is minimal and it is lined with solid nylon/poly type material, which doesn't breathe very well. 3. The "leash" attachments are plastic. Why??? It makes no sense at all.I will update this review in a month or so, once my SD has worn the vest for a while and I see how it holds up to daily use.Again, the best feature of this vest is that it fits large, deep-chested dogs (greyhound, borzoi, scottish deerhound, etc.) very well!!!
