It is a great value with everything that you can use it for.

Very good product, it is the first one to last my dog who loves hunting so much that we have to hide it from him so he doesn't think were going. He absolutely loves it.

We Own Six of These!
Quality:
Well made, stands up to the rigors or hunting in various conditions.
Features:
The zipper doesn't always lock down well and can 'creep up.'
Cost:
Excellent value for the money!
Overall:
Got one a few years ago for my prime hunting dog. But I train dogs and hunt over several. Wound up coming back to this vest every time we needed a new one. I own one in every size from S to XXXL, in various camo. I hunt multiple times per week in sloughs, marshes, creeks and flooded fields. These vests hold up in brush, saltwater, climbing over downed trees in/out of boats and more. Works on small to large dogs, only had one dog with some fit issues - he has a deep, but narrow barrel. GREAT PRODUCT!

Quality:
I used this vest exactly one time before the zipper came unsewn from the vest. Inexcuseable in my book. Thank goodness it was during a training session and not hunting season.
Features:
The cutout handles to grab the dog from above are very useful.
Cost:
Even though it's more expensive than most, the materials used warrant the higher price.
Overall:
Assuming MPW/Avery will replace my obviously defective sippered vest, I would recommend this product to everyone. The large neck and arm holes allow for freedom of movement beyond other vests. I only wish Avery paid closer attention to fit and finish. This is not the first product of theirs that I've found these issues with.
