I have been trying to figure out what one fits my 7 month old and based on the online catalogues and from what I gather they are mostly meant for stalkier labs.

Any GSP owners have some feedback on ones they found?

thanks,
Andrew

Forget trying to get the correct fit on-line. Go to Stillwater Sports in Ladner and see in person which one actually fits your dog

I got this one (http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=732700&categoryId=0&parentCategoryId=0&subCategoryId=0&indexId=0&itemGUID=8c31bcd4ac10845649354a738ae74f84&destination=/checkout/basket.jsp)(2XL) at Cabelas, but my dog is golden retriever. There is a good instructions on that site of how to properly measure your dog. I hope you realize your 7 months old GSP is still growing for another year, so no matter what buy now, you''ll need to buy another vest next year.

We have two Cabelas medium vests for our 55lb GSP but we recently switched to the rivers west waterproof fleece vest which affords her a fair bit more mobility over the neoprene vests and seems to keep her a lot warmer as well. Also, the neoprene seems to chafe in a couple spots after prolonged use. The cabelas vests have a wide velcro closure allowing for a bit of adjustability. Their sizing charts are quite accurate. The same dog is a large in the RW vests.

My guy also runs a Cabelas medium. With a bit of trimming/cutting you can minimize the spots that rub. I'll need to take a boo into the fleece ones.

X2 Brian ordered some med ones in. I need 1 for my dog. He's 60lbs max. All he had was the next size up. Should be in now or very soon.

I've heard that about 30 vests have arrived at the store

I buy my Goldens(55 lbsish) Mediums, I just take them into Wholsale Sports in Nanaimo and try them on. I would imagine you could in Langley as well.
