I have a guy that sews my vests for me. They are made of two layers of 1000 Denier Cordura (green inside, Mossy Oak Camo on the outside) with one layer of Viper cloth between the two layers of Cordura. There is also a piece of wet felt in the chest plate area of the vest.
I agree that probably no vest is 100% cut/poke proof but we have had good luck with these. They are flexable enough that the dogs mobility isn't hindered, yet stout enough to protect the dog as well as most vests can. Plus we can make them 2" longer (to the end of the rib cage) with a cut out for male dogs.
