Need a vest for my GSP for the upcoming grouse season.  Just the nylon type that protects her chest and under carriage.  The problem with past purchases I've made, is the deep chest of a GSP throws off all the sizing charts.  It usually fits in the middle but is tight around the front and rubs around her front legs/body area.   Any suggestions?

I tried a Cabella's XL vest that my last english springer wore and ran into the same problem that you are having.  I was wondering if Binni even needs a vest?  Everything seem to roll right off of her short hair.  Not sure.  This will be her first time out hunting.  I know my english springer pup will need one.  That hair is a nightmare.

Nothing from Cabella's has fit Bella either. She's too big for mediums, but too small for larges. Gander Mountain only carries their version in XL's in the store (Don't really get that...). She does tend to scratch up her underbelly running in the woods, so I would love to find something that protects both her chest and underbelly (and provides hunter's orange color for the upcoming the season). Let me know if you come across anything, and I'll do the same!

It's so hard living up here MJBUCK because you literally have to order something, and it's a pain in the patoot returning things every single time.

Nothing fits Bugsy so I feel your pain - I would love to get him one of those neoprene vests but they are cut for labs - huge neck holes and the chest sizes are really small - even in 3xl the chest isn't even close!

It's Bugsy's world...
