So you’re copying me now old man? I feel like I’ve made it if the legends are copying me! Lol just kidding of course. I decided the same thing about the chin flap. I like the leg flaps. My old vests had a ton of influence on my thought process. I looked at them and where all the punishment was taken on them. Those old leg flaps took a good bit. I like the three overlapping flaps better than the one solid one. They same to restrict reach less and I haven’t had near as many cuts in what would be our arm pit area with that third flap being inside. I don’t think the vests need to be as layered as a lot of them are. When a dog gets cut, the skin cut and the muscle cut usually aren’t in the exact same spot, you have to roll the hide around to find the muscle cut. That’s how you know what direction the hog was slinging his head. Sometimes that can tell you if the dog was at fault or just got cut, mainly the bay dogs. The skin rolls 9 out of ten times when the hog hits the dog is the reason for the cuts not aligning. The vest does the same thing. I’ve had a vest cut through numerous times but can count on one how many of those times the dog received any damage. So fewer layers is less weight, especially when wet which means the dog doesn’t have to work as hard. I haven’t investigated it, but I’d bet one pound to a dog is like 5-7 for a person. So that light weight vest to us is heavier to that dog and in the southern heat, everything is a factor.
