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). For medium breed recommendations, call 1-844-GUNNERK or email our CX team.

Fit Tips: Addison walks you through how to get your best fit in a video here.

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). For medium breed recommendations, call 1-844-GUNNERK or email our CX team.

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.

Fit Tips: Addison walks you through how to get your best fit in a video here.

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 it 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.

Reviews

Gunner Dog Vest

"I have been using a variety of dog vests with my retrievers over the last number of years. Complaint is always the same, poor quality, poor fit and I trim hoping to get something that works. It doesn’t! This is the first best that fits, adjustments are easy and quality is top notch! Thanks for a great product."

— Grant G. (5/5)

Impressive all around

"My vest delivered during the split between early and late season so I've only have done an intro to the pup with some playful retrievals. I was impressed by how dry she was when we got home and I took the vest off. The level of adjustments that can be done for a proper fit is incredible."

— Adam K. (5/5)

My man Jabbo loves it and if I’m being honest with you I’ve used it for more than waterfowl hunting, I have a draht and track deer as well as catch hogs with him and I’ve used the vest for all of it!

Q&A

Will you be making the vest in hi-vis orange? I hunt upland birds in Montane, North and South Dakota. We often traverse marshes, irrigation canals, etc. My dogs are Springer Spaniels and I like to put an orange vest on them for added visibility in heavy cover, which is often what we hunt. Your vest appears to be a great piece of equipment but I prefer it in orange. Thanks, Bob Christofferson Gillette, WY
Hey! We do not have any plans to offer the Waterfowl Vest in a hi-vis Orange. However, that is something that we could offer down the road.
Any feedback on how this works on GSPs hunting upland birds?
We have seen the vest fit on multiple GSPs closer to the 50lb range and fit them very well. As far as the vest itself, it is specifically designed for waterfowl hunting. The vest is extremely durable; however, not designed for the environment of upland hunting. That is not to say you're dog would not be happy or comfortable in it, but we did design it for waterfowl environments. Since the release, we have received a lot of feedback about coming out with an upland vest, and our R&D team is already discussing what that could look like for moving forward.
