Default Wanted: Scratch pants & training vest/jacket

Looking for size Large (so they will fit both DH and I) scratch pants and training vest (the kind that holds toys/tugs), used, preferably at a very reasonable price.

My Husband and I each have a training vest what size do you need? However it has a club Logo on the back of them.
The next bad point is that the shipping from Over seas.

Looking for size Large (approx. 42" chest or bigger) so it will fit both my husband and I. I wouldn't care about the logo at all, I just want something for training and don't want to spend $100+ ordering one.

Fishing vets work great as a training vest and very affordable. LOTS of pockets.

Unless you want a fancy one with a ball ejector or something like that, as Ruq mentioned fishing vests work great. So do BDU vests. We don't use vests for training any more but years ago when we did that's what we used. I know several others who have used them as well. Just the regular ones picked up from a military surplus store (and sure you'd have no problem finding them).

I have no idea what you are looking to spend or what is considered cheap or a good deal but leerburg has them on clearance. http://leerburg.com/clearance.htm#pants

Oops, I just saw you didn't want to spend 100+

Do you mean you want to buy Scratch pants and a Protection jacket, like helpers have to wear for trials?



What this guy has on for instance?

Because a hundred each would be a huge bargain in that case. Even used.

I found two places that have both items new for decent prices - Elite K9 and Fordogtrainers.com. I have been satisfied with the stuff I have ordered from both companies, but I haven't used their pants or vest.

Elite K9: (both on main page - http://elitek9.com/)
Scratch pants (nylon) - $139.95
Vest - $54.95

Fordogtrainers.com
Scratch pants (nylon) (with whip) - $159.00
(http://www.fordogtrainers.com/index....PROD&ProdID=73)
Vest - $54.90 (http://www.fordogtrainers.com/index....ROD&ProdID=223)
Vest with dropper - $69.00
(http://www.fordogtrainers.com/index....OD&ProdID=2188)

Scratch pants yes, protection jacket, no. I want the scratch pants to keep the Maligator from scratching up my legs when we're having fun with the bite sleeve. Even with her nails dremel'd, that HURTS.

And I want a training vest with a bunch of pockets that will hold treats, Kong, tug, etc. so I don't have to try and balance stuff as we're working and can keep her surprised with different toys/tugs.

I'm familiar with all the links - Elite K-9, For Dog Trainers, etc. Was hoping someone here had used stuff they'd like to get rid of.

A fishing vest would be perfect.
