Tuskproof Boar v.5

Our Motto: Maximum Protection with Maintained Mobility!

The protective material Dyneema is 15 times stronger than steel at the same weight. The fabric is specially woven to stop sharp weapons, including wild boar tusks. The vest has three layers throughout and five layers over the chest to protect against punctures and cuts from wild boar tusks. Our tests have shown that several thin layers provide better protection against wild boar tusks than a single thick layer. Despite the strong protection, your dog maintains its mobility and agility. Dyneema offers the same protection even when wet and does not degrade from sunlight (UV radiation), unlike other types of protective materials.

The outer material is Ripstop Cordura® with high abrasion resistance in Hi-Viz colors.

The updates in version 5 include improved adjustment options for the shoulders and neck, as well as the addition of two new sizes, XXS and XXL.

Colors: The vest is available in two color combinations. Option 1: Orange front – Yellow back – Blue/Yellow details. Option 2: Blue front – Orange back – Yellow details. The reason for the tri-color design is that when you approach a barking dog and cannot see the game, which is common, you can immediately see which direction the dog is facing, even in dense terrain, and the game is also in that direction.

GPS Pocket? We advise against a GPS pocket on the back. We place the tracker around our dogs' necks. Why? The GPS hump gets caught when the dog runs under branches, barbed wire fences, etc. The worst-case scenario is if it gets caught on a branch when the dog tries to back away from an attacking wild boar... But you, as a customer, decide; we can retrofit or, if you choose our custom vest, a GPS pocket is available as an option.

SIZE GUIDE Chest circumference:

• XXS: 45-50 cm
• XS: 49-55 cm
• S: 54-60 cm
• M: 59-66 cm
• L: 65-73 cm
• XL: 72-80 cm
• XXL: 79-88 cm

If you fall between two sizes, also measure the back length and choose the size that fits best. The back length is measured as shown in the picture above; from the point on the back where the measuring tape rests when you measure the chest circumference to the first tail vertebra. A common mistake is measuring from where the neck starts, which makes the back measurement too long.

• XS: 30-34 cm
• S: 33-37 cm
• M: 36-40 cm
• L: 39-43 cm
• XL: 42-46 cm

If your dog's chest circumference is less than 45 cm or more than 88 cm, we custom-make the vests. We also recommend custom-made vests for breeds/individuals with long backs to provide them with the best possible protection under the belly and groin. Contact us at info@tuskproof.se.
