Features & Design

• Climate-Optimized Mesh: Open-mesh body design prevents heat retention and keeps working dogs cool in high-temperature environments.

• Fully Lift & Insert Rated: Certified for Law Enforcement, Military, Security, Agitation, Bitework, Tracking, Rappelling, Aerial Insertion, SAR, and Swiss Seat/leg strap integration.

• Ergonomic Mobility: Patented "V" shaped padded chest plate design clears the shoulder joints entirely, preventing movement restriction and structural fatigue.

• Distribution & Stability: Configurable with 4 or 6 aluminum buckles (buckle type determined by buyer preference) that distribute weight evenly across adjustment points, eliminating side-ride during high-speed movement.

• Modular Insertion Package: Available with a customizable multi-handle configuration. Choose between a dual-handle "T" shape (featuring one lateral side-to-side handle paired with the primary insertion handle) or a full three-handle setup featuring dual lateral handles and a dedicated primary insertion handle.

• Insertion Handle: Engineered as an extended lifting loop functioning as a built-in hoisting lanyard. Designed with optimized clearance, it folds flush to the side when not in use, creating a stable, uninterrupted mounting platform for cameras and tactical optic systems.

• Laser-Cut Retention System: Paired with the Deployment Package, this integrated laser-cut shock-cord retention system provides secure, low-profile mounting for tactical lights, optics, and auxiliary gear.

• Professional Hardware: Built with high-strength aluminum adjuster hardware engineered for rigorous operational demands.

HOW-TO Measure

• The Low Neck: Feel your dog's neck area at the bottom. Notice where the Sternum (that bump at the bottom) starts. From there, check where the shoulder blades start at the top. Now, wrap a soft tape around the neck, and get it as tight as possible, so that the tape makes contact properly (snug, skin tight, not loose, no two fingers). Measure this twice to get a good read.

• Breast Bone Measurement: From where the sternum starts (the same bump as above), measure between the legs to where the forward girth starts (right behind the front legs). (If you get a number greater than 14 inches and your dog weighs less than 110 lbs, you have measured incorrectly; please see the diagram for start and stop points.)

• Forward Girth: Wrap a tape tightly around the trunk of the dog (the widest part of the chest). Do this twice to get a good read. No two fingers—we need it snug.

• Rear Girth & Back Lengths:

• Small Back Length: Take this measurement at the last rib (where the sternum ends). This should be about 4 inches behind the forward girth for this size vest back.

• Medium Back Length: Take this measurement at the last rib (where the sternum ends). This should be about 5 inches behind the forward girth for this size vest back.

• Large Back Length: Take this measurement at the last rib (where the sternum ends). This should be about 6 inches behind the forward girth for this size vest back.
