Neoprene Vest

[David Frank]

Any advice would be helpful. Toby, my yellow lab, is 84 lbs and measures 32" around the chest right behind the front legs, and the base of his neck measures 21.5"

Most of our water hunting will be early in the year, as we usually focus on the fields once the crops come off and the northern birds show up. For this reason, I'm leaning towards a 3 mm neoprene, but like I said, I'm open to suggestions. I've only looked at the Avery vests, as that's all the local stores here carry, but I like the foam inserts for added flotation on long retreives.

Please share any experiences with different products, additional things to consider, or tips for picking out the right vest for Toby!

Thanks,
