CLOSEOUT: YELLOW/BROWN Sylmar Body Guard Vest

Gives your dog increased visibility and additional chest & body protection in thick cover.

SYLMAR Hunting Dog Vest — Tough Protection for Heavy Cover

Best-Seller | Steve's Pick | 4.7 Stars | 98% Recommend Give your dog real protection where it counts — and make sure everyone in the field can see them. The Sylmar Body Guard Vest does two jobs at once: it shields your dog's chest, sides, and underside from barbed wire, briars, thorns, and sharp brush, and it puts a bright, unmistakable color on your dog so you — and every other hunter in the woods — know exactly where they are. We've sold this vest since 2012 and liked it so much we bought the company. It's now made right here in Mathiston, Mississippi — genuine USA-made construction, built by our own crew.

Built to Take a Beating

Customers tell us this vest routinely lasts 8-10+ years of hard hunting, and more than a few have passed a single vest down through two or three dogs. We've heard plenty of stories of dogs hitting barbed wire fences at a dead run and walking away without a scratch — vests included.

Sizing: Get This Right and You're Set

The #1 thing to get right with this vest is the fit — and the #1 measurement that matters is chest girth, not weight and not "he's a big dog." Measure directly behind your dog's front legs. If your dog's measurement falls between two sizes, go with the smaller size. This isn't a guess — it's what years of fittings have taught us. Choosing between X-Small Short and X-Small? Go by length: X-Small Short runs about 13", X-Small runs about 14 1/2". Watch our sizing video before you order — we've measured a wide range of dogs and body types on camera so you can see exactly how the fit should look on a dog built like yours. Every vest also now has a size tag sewn in, so reordering later is easy.

Break It In

This vest is tough by design, which means it starts out a little stiff. A hand wash or two before extended wear softens the material without giving up any of its ripstop durability.

Steve Says:

"Give your dog additional chest and body protection from the elements as well as added visibility in cover with the Sylmar Body-Guard vest. You can also use the straps to help lift older dogs to their feet." — Steve Snell

Beyond the Field

This vest isn't just for hunting. It also works well post-injury or post-surgery to protect the chest, belly, or flanks from licking, chewing, or scratching, and can help keep bandages secure. It's also useful for itchy hot spots. Note: Not recommended for hog hunting.
