This review is based on the five years we've had this product for my red sable male GSD and how this product has held up. I purposely waited to write this review since the product was really well made when I purchased it years ago (2018).

DOG TYPE: Working GSD

Energy Level: Very High

SIZE: 85lb, Standard 26 inches from the withers height. Stock fur. Lean build.

PRODUCT PRICE: AVERAGE

Pro: Nice green color. High quality material. Strong metal clasps, not cheap plastic clasps,
and very comfortable material. Very clean and sleek look. The vest does not fall short or long on the dog's torso. It's a perfect length as some vests tend to be on the shorter end. My dog loves this vest. It is very comfortable and it allows him to have great mobility with comfort. The material do not cut into his fur/skin especially when he is exercising at a high energy level or out during long walks/jogs. This product is still used weekly (since I purchased the vest for my dog). Very little signs of wear and tear in the five years. I probably will not need to purchase a new vest anytime soon for him. I did purchased other vest brands and I returned them due to inferior material in comparison. Nothing to dislike about this product. If this company continue to keep the quality level the same (as when I bought this vest for my dog five years ago....) I will buy from this company again.

Con: Nothing. Nit-picking would be more color selection?

Do I recommend this product? Yes. Serves what we need for our dog. Love the clean sleek look and the Quality is superb. Photo is a current photo of my dog in his vest.

As long as the owner takes care if the vest; this product should last a long time. I hope my review help other dog parents make the right decision if they are considering this product.

Bought this for a Border Collie pup nearing a year old with major anxiety issues, who startles very easily and has a hefty response to perceived threats with barking, lunging, etc (new meds seem to be helping much more than the old ones, so much less of an issue now).

The harness is very sturdy, nice and solid manufacture with metal hardware, and the handle makes it so much easier to control her when she flips out. Zero signs of fraying or stress from her hefty fight or flight responses, makes bringing her under control a breeze. Overall very impressed with this harness after going through three other styles that just couldnt hold up to her stress responses.

She shows zero signs of discomfort with this harness, even when she wears it for the whole day. It is a touch weighty, and she was hesitant the first few times i went to put it on her after the initial wear, but now she stands calmly while I strap her in before bounding over to the door to wait impatiently while I get her leash.

Only thing I could possibly knock about it would be that it seems to run just a hair larger than the measurements would suggest, as I measured her according to the guide provided, she fit just a couple of inches over the minimum size, and I currently have the harness snugged up as far as it will go and it is just a touch loose on her. Not a problem for me, as she is only just now hitting the one year mark and she hasnt been spayed yet, so I have no doubt i will end up letting it out a little in a couple of months.

Be prepared to brush down the harness after walks though if your dog likes to roll around like mine does... the velcro does like to collect grass clippings and such! Just buy plenty of patches and the problem goes away!

Update: July 1st 2022.
More than one year on and this thing is just as solid as the day i got it.
My girl demands her harness when she is ready for her morning walk, and then has no interest in any attempt to remove it until her last out of the day. Even when it is a mostly lazy day where she is just laying around the house, she doesnt want her harness removed. It is without a doubt the most comfortable of all the harnesses we tried, the most secure, and the safest. She can be easily controlled when she freaks out, and she looks so smart in it.

I came back here because I am going to order a second one now in a lighter color, as this is Oklahoma in summer, and as a predominantly black dog, she does get a bit warm. It will be nice to have options, and while I have seen no sign of any fraying of stitched, loosening of buckles, etc, I am sure swapping between two of them will make these last her lifetime.

Never been happier with a purchase.

Final update. 8/27/22
Bought the same size in Grey with reflective stitching. This harness has had some design tweaks since my original purchase. The new red tabs on the front buckles are easier to open, almost too easy.
Most importantly, the underbelly piece has changed from a single unit to a two piece with adjustability. Its a solid looking update that i cannot knock at all. Great improvement.
However, this redesign has increased the size of the harness, meaning the old design that I bought in a medium, that when cinched up as far as possible, fits like a glove and can grow with her, has been replaced with an improved product that no longer fit my dog as it was too loose.

Amazon returns arent a hassle, and I'll probably end up just ordering the small now instead, but if a product is updated, the listing should be as well.

Just pay close attention to sizing, and assume it will be a little loose now and adjust accordingly.

Still 1000% recommend!

This is my second harness from these folks. I had a small brown harness, which is like a flat dark earth color. Very cool and tactical looking. More importantly, the harness is sturdy and very well made. I had the small for my dog when he was 20-25 lbs. He's 32lbs now so I ordered the green harness in medium. I had to adjust it pretty snug because he is right between sizes, but the medium is a better fit and looks to have more room at the front leg holes. Fits perfectly after adjustment. I have the reflective versions and I highly recommend this harness.

Very rugged. Easy to adjust and put on / take off. Bright. Lots of nice features (velcro to attach name tags and things, mole clips, reflective strips).

This is a quality item, not cheap junk at all.

Large size fit our 90 lb and 96 lb labs well. If they are too much bigger (over ~110), probably need XL.

The harness we got is black and is trimmed in reflective edges for superb visibility! The top has a very sturdy handle for easy handling without choking the dog. This thing is very strong and built to handle a strong dog! It has very nice padding to keep the dog comfortable with enough stretch to allow comfortable movements. The clasps are very sturdy and lock in place tightly. Once you get the initial fitting of the straps just perfect to match the size of your dog it is super easy to put on and remove with the easy click of 2 clasps. The top and sides of the outside of the harness have a lot of Velcro so that you can add tactical gear very easily! I was a little leary of spending $40 on a harness but so glad we did...so worth it! We had always used collars but I didn't like the way it choked the dog and this harness is so much more comfortable for the dog and he is much more relaxed when walking on a leash now! I admit...the first time we put it on him and were adjusting the straps, he was terrified of it and was shaking but 5 minutes later he was absolutely fine once he realized it wasn't hurting him and we went on a walk.
