I'm not complaining... I love our kevlar vest. When i see that it has been cut through I can just imagine what my dog would look like if he hadn't been wearing it. Plus, I don't think that there is anything that a hog cant' cut through and still be comfortable enough for your dog.  When we wear this one out we are going to buy another one! |

Mike, don't you know that they get cut through cause the catch dogs don't catch properly How does a cd catch properly, its hard to say, i think its a false statement. If your dogs aren't getting cut at least a little, it doesn't mean they catch properly it means they haven't met the right hog. jmo |

My dogs usually conspire and get a game plan together on the way to the hunt.
I have noticed that most of the times one of my jagds will kick sand in the hogs eyes just before Jack goes in for the catch.
However... sunday the dogs got in a pretty good fight prior to the hunt ....which might explain why Jack took a pretty good shot through the vest that night.

They set Jack up?!! That is some serious stuff that you need to get under control right away, it could lead to a split between the strike dog & the catch crew!!

Stoked, we bought a bunch of the Mossy Oak material when we had the chance, not sure if they still make it or not. Now I see mostly what they call the "digital" camo, which I don't care for. I may have to go to solid color Cordura when I am out of the Mossy Oak.
Yeah, that's all Jake and mike can get right now. I don't like it near as much as the other stuff.  was hoping you knew where to get the old mossy oak...loved the look of that... |

All BS aside, I love my $120 dollar vest, which is now $130. The people who sew the material are very good. The vest holds up which is why I bought it. The only vest I would buy other than uglydog are Southern cross, L3, and Mike's new vests.
Now, I know you can't expect a vest to be 100% hog resistence, but the vest is very new and it wasn't a small poke, it was a complete cut through. After looking at the vest more, the overlapping collar had been completely cut through as well. The leg flap was cut through which wasn't a surprise because they are thin. It was a big hog and the body of the vest took some hits but no cut throughs. I got to the hog and dogs in about 2 minutes after they bayed for the second time. I'm happy with the vest! I didn't post this topic to try and stir the pot. I didn't post this topic to try and upset people or to make uglydog look bad. I think uglydogranch has the best catch vests on the market, which is why I'm running one. I'm trying to avoid running a lot of layers.
The reason why I posted this topic was because I wanted to know what kind of kevlar was used in that vest and if it was treated. I still haven't got an answer to that question. Like I said, Mike and the crew have ran Jake's vests for about 6 years without a single cut through. I don't know how that can happen, but I talk to mike pretty frequently and he'll insist that those vests are tough. Surely somebody would have leaked out the bad news if the vests was cut through. Watch their new video, they put it on the screen again. " NOT ONE SINGLE CUT THROUGH "
My vest is 4 layers with one being kevlar and the chest plate is 5 layers with one being kevlar. The plate is what got cut through. I'm just trying to figure out what the material was because i want to try and correct the problem without running 15 layers of material.
Krystal, thanks for the info.
