Stoked, your vest did its job, your dog is alive to hunt another day. If you want a vest that has MORE cut resistance, then order a different vest. Uglydog has many styles that have more Kevlar and are VERY cut resistant as others have said.
Its just not the fabrics that go into a vest that make it stop a tusk. How it is designed and how the layers are put together and how much quilting is done. There is a balancing act between being cut proof, and mobility, and being cool enough to run when its hot, and amount of coverage.
You must take the time to understand the holding style of your dog, the conditions you hunt in, the temperatures you hunt in, the coverage you desire, and the mobility you want your dog to have while wearing a vest. I have 5 different styles of vest that I run on my catch dogs. I pick the best vest or plate for conditions on each hunt.
I believe that Uglydog makes the best full vests, and L3 makes the best breast plates.....make the choice that will work best for your dog in the conditions you hunt in.
