Best Canine Waterfowling Vest

[BrentD]

Can anybody recommend a good waterfowling vest for Gus, my golden? He is tough as nails until it comes to cold = then he is a total wimp. Looking at a Boyt vest from LLbean and a bunch of vests from Cabelas, most of which have terrible reviews. What's a good one?

My lab is a little on the smaller side (60lbs) and fits perfectly into a large Avery. No problems with it at all and as long as you trim it for his armpits it should work well. We're not huge duck hunters, but it does keep her warm when we do.

I use an Avery with the handles. Virtually any vest you will need to trim your dog. Your best option is really to take it into the store and see how they fit him

I really like the Avery that our dog has right now. I have always needed to trim them for our dog.

Another Avery user. Never tried the other brands.

I looked around and bought the Boyt vest from LLBean.com. It appears to be identical to the Avery, but i could get it for a few dollars cheaper. I will probably add a S.U.G.A.R.Coat if it looks like we will get into the late season.

Thanks for the help.

I have an Avery one as well. I have used it for 10 years straight with the wirehair and haven't had a single issue. Highly recommend.

Avery, trim it to fit and you'll be good to go.
