The Water Dog Neo-Vest from Hard Core is specifically designed to fit a Lab or Chesapeake retriever. I hunt with an 75-pound setter, and the neck hole is too big but the chest is very tight even adjusting to the biggest size. The straps designed to pick the dog up and put him back in the boat are just cord that need to be attached with carabiners, which are not included. I used this vest for three teal hunts and a dove hunt this year, and it is already showing signs of wear--fraying of fabric and stitches--around to collar and leg holes. The vest's zipper is very heavy duty and durable. At this rate i would expect the vest to last 1.5 seasons or about 30 to 50 hunting days.
