Description

"We're confident we've built Man's Best Dog Vest." – Addison Edmonds, Founder

Our Waterfowl Vest is designed to help your dog regulate temperature through the full rhythm of the hunt, from the first retrieve to the last rest. In testing, our engineers found that GUNNER’s 5-Layer Performance System™ helped dogs retain internal warmth longer and returned them to a stable temperature faster. The result: quicker recovery, less energy loss, and lasting comfort in any condition. With an over-the-head entry, quick-attach G-hooks, and a six-point adjustment system, it’s the least frustrating vest for you to use and the most comfortable vest for your dog. No struggling with zippers, no wrestling a stiff neoprene shell: just set, secure, and send. Perforation channels, built-in drainage paths, and a breathable TPU shell accelerate drying and prevent water buildup – a major upgrade from traditional neoprene vests. In field testing across coastal Maine and flooded Arkansas timber, dogs came out of 12-hour hunts with their chests bone dry and warm.

Fit Range: Ideal for most waterfowl dog breeds like Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, German Wirehaired Pointer, Drahthaar (55-110 lbs).

2026 Update: G-hook – easier to release in harsh conditions without sacrificing security. Based on first-season field feedback.

Care + Warranty

To clean:
Rinse with fresh water after each use. Use mild soap and soft brush as needed. Hang to air-dry fully before storage.

To maintain:
Store in a dry, ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh solvents.

The guarantee:
Built to last. We stand behind every GUNNER product because we know the integrity of the design and extensive research we have put into creating them. The GUNNER Guarantee™ means our in-house customer service team is empowered to always "do the right thing." If your vest doesn't perform as promised, we'll make it right. That's not fine print. It's how we do business.

Fit & Sizing

Fit Range: Ideal for most waterfowl dog breeds like Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, German Wirehaired Pointer, Drahthaar (55-110 lbs).

Fit Adjustments: Six adjustment points for a dialed, secure fit across chest and shoulders. Once adjusted, use “set it/forget it” straps for consistent performance. Designed to clear most e-collars comfortably. For ideal fit, follow the two-finger rule around the neck.

Adjust the left and right shoulder straps to a length that provides a snug fit around the dog's neck. For best performance, keep the strap length even on both sides. Slide the vest over the dog's head. To secure the underside, start by pulling up the right and left foreleg hooks one at a time, inserting them into the webbing loop that provides a snug fit around the dog’s chest. Finish securing the vest by pulling up the right and left hindleg hooks one at a time, inserting them into the webbing loop that provides a snug fit around the dog’s midsection.

Just a Tip #1: A proper fit should be tight to the point that only two fingers should fit snugly between the vest and the dog. The G-hooks should be flush against the straps.

Just a Tip #2: Fore leg and hindleg hooks can be adjusted to different webbing levels to provide the best fit for your dog's shape.

BETTER FOR YOUR DOG

  • Dog in the vest after a retrieve

    THERMAL CONTROL

    The 5-Layer Performance System™ conserves energy for the dog & minimizes wind chill between retrieves – maintaining body temperature more consistently during active retrieves & stabilizing warmth after high-output activity.

  • Adjusting the vest's fit

    CUSTOM FIT

    A six-point adjustment system and pocketed shoulder straps allow for a true custom fit. The flexible Ariaprene® composite moves with your dog, so they can perform naturally in the field.

  • Mesh liner of the vest

    BREATHABLE BUILD

    The air-trapping mesh liner acts like a second layer of fur, creating a microclimate that insulates. The lightweight materials allow for constant airflow and temperature balance.

  • Reinforced chest plate

    PROTECTIVE BY DESIGN

    A reinforced chest plate helps guard against sticks, corn/rice stubble, and hidden debris, protecting your dog’s vitals during every entry and retrieve. Built GUNNER Grade to last through the seasons.

BETTER FOR YOU

  • Putting the vest on a dog

    EASY ON/OFF FIT

    Quick-attach G-hooks and intuitive adjustment make gearing up easy, even with cold hands or an excited dog. Adjustable without cutting. Once adjusted, use “set it/forget it” straps for consistent performance.

  • Vest shell and hardware

    BUILT TO LAST

    No zippers or velcro to break or wear down. Abrasion-resistant outer shell & durable hardware ensure reliable performance through seasons of work. Ariaprene® composite & perforated foam core shed water fast, drying quickly.

  • Spacer mesh interior

    REDUCED CLEANUP

    Quick-dry material tech ensures the vest won’t trap odor, won't mildew easily & that components won't freeze when you throw it in the truck overnight. Unlike neoprene, our spacer mesh interior doesn’t trap or pull hair, keeping your dog more comfortable & reducing post-hunt cleanup.

  • Vest tie-off point

    EASY TIE-OFF POINTS

    Front & back anchor points offer an easy tie-off location to help restrain breaking dogs. Safer for the dog, and less embarrassing for you.

  • Low-snag vest handles

    LOW SNAG HANDLES

    Dual, horizontal handles give you more controlled lifts, without catching on blinds or brush.

  • “Rock-solid, rigorously tested dog vest built for the dog who hunts harder than the rest”
  • “Made with six-point adjustability, it will fit your dog from its first season, through the rest of its life.”
