I'm just curious how many people run a vest that has the collar built in (like the tank, guardian, etc.) but also run a cut collar under it.  I just ordered a swamp dawg super suit with the collar sewn in, and I'm wondering if I should add another cut collar to the order to double up the neck protection.

I don't double up, actually never seen it done that way.  I don't see the point of doing that.

So two to nothing so far.  I've seen it done.  A buddy of mine on here does it with the guardian.  And he says he knows guys who do it.  It doesn't seem to slow his dog down any.  In fact, the one time I saw him run his dog without the additional cut collar his dog got a nice little cut on the neck somehow.  So that makes me think a bit.

I have suit you ordered but only a single layer cut collar attached. It's doing fine.

The first thing I did to my swamp dawg vest was cut the collar off the vest. So I can take off the vet but leave the collar if I need to.

I thought about getting the collar not sewn in and then getting some industrial Velcro sewn to both so I could use them separate. I got the collar with the jaw guard and had heard if you don't have it sewn on it could spin and have the jaw guard on the dogs ear or to of head. How feasible would that be?

On the uglydog gaurdain and devestator, I ran a cut collar on a few dogs... The guardian leaves a lot of the neck exposed...

I have two Australian vests or plates. They have the collar sewn on to the vest. My ugly dog catch vest has a flap that comes up under the cut collar to keep a tusk from slipping in between the collar and vest.

That's true and happened to me  so the next thing I did was cut the jaw guard off.

Yup same thing here.  If the collar aint sewen on I consider it worthless.  All it takes is one shot inbetween collar and vest,   two dogs done for like this that was enuff for me .

Big cutters, I like them. They allow the dogs some protection with out over heating. Don't know if I'd use them on average size dogs. I use mine on Dane crosses.

My vest was custom made to fit with a cut collar under it. It's not really important to double up on their neck but you definitely don't want a gap between the collar and vest.
