I could have been happier with this product
I purchased two of these vests for my dogs so that they would be seen in the snow as something other than a hunted animal. First off, I found them to run a bit small. My male, Herman Munster, has a very large chest, and the strap barely fit around it. The back strap also has a fit issue. If I were to close it, it would come right across his penis. Not a great feature. So I had to snap it together on his back, so it just kind of flaps around like a cape. The first time he wore it, the strap got caught on a branch, and totally unraveled. So even if the placement had worked, it's of no use to me now. My female, Lily Munster, is on the chubby side, and the straps barely fit around her. I couldn't go up a size, because it would be too long for her body. So all in all, I'm not impressed with them. Sizing was an issue, placement of straps, durability also did not impress me. The concept is great, but I could've been more impressed.

Adjustable but not rugged
Bought 2 of these for our dogs and after 3 wears, one of the black straps came out of the seam. Since I sew I fixed it and reinforced all the places the black straps hit the orange fabric. The stitching it comes with is single line and weak. Won't last if you're dog/s run through woods/brush or wrestle. At least the price is right and it was an easy fix if you can sew. I ordered L's (1 55 pound husky and 1 55 pound lab) but which fits in around the body but the fitting is too long, so the back strap goes too far back and makes it bunch. If I had male dogs it wouldn't fit comfortably. I would order a Medium next time and loosen the black straps.

Too big, poor strap design
I followed the sizing guide exactly but this item is too big for my dogs. Amazon offered a refund upon return of the items. Also, it has a third strap at the bottom of the vest (near the dogs rear in the photograph) which isn't shown in the picture. If used, this ran across directly in front of my (male) dogs' hind legs. Needless to say, they hated it, much like a rodeo bull hates the straps applied in the same way to make him buck.
