each to his own ...myself I don't even like a cut collar on my baydogs ...in  real bad cutover thickets even a cut collar will slow a dog down or impede there movement ...I've lost 4 or 5 dogs through the years  with no vest on due to heat ......  and that's gonna happen if you hunt in hot weather ....   and I have had  big curs for catch that would bay if sent to a bay on a good hog ...but put a vest on and lead  in strait catch .... I do believe a ruff dog will get ruffer with a vest most of the time ....
