The Protector neoprene vest keeps your dog warm, visible, and protected during repeated transitions between cold water and land. Whether navigating swamps, marshes, or cold lakes, it delivers thermal support and full mobility without compromise.
Developed and tested in Scandinavia with working retriever dogs, the flexible neoprene construction seals your dog’s core and insulates against icy water. The lower panel is made of reinforced neoprene to guard against sharp vegetation, allowing your dog to move confidently across rough terrain.
An upper panel covers the back, shoulders, and most of the chest, while a lower panel wraps the front and under-chest. These connect securely using wide, powerful hook-and-loop fasteners on both sides of the neck and chest for a snug, customized fit. All seams and edges are smooth to prevent chafing. Shoulder cutouts preserve full range of motion whether swimming or running. Integrated pull loops make removal quick, and all surfaces are easy to rinse and maintain.
The low-profile handle stays flat when not in use to avoid snags, and offers a reliable grip when lifting your dog into a boat. Neoprene buoyancy and side foam panels provide added water support without restricting agility on land.
Rear rope attachment allows for a leash or long line, and a neck-mounted loop accommodates small tracking devices and lights. The bright orange color and integrated 3M™ reflective ensure visibility in dense bushes or low light, making it perfect for hunting dogs. Drainage holes let water escape once your dog is back on land.
The Protector neoprene vest is available in sizes XS to XL.
