Customers praised this lightweight training vest for its "plenty of useful pockets" and comfortable summer weight. Shoppers found it "perfect for dog walking" and gundog training. Minor drawbacks noted include the treat bag's floppy fabric reducing functionality and absence of a hanging loop. Several customers recommended sizing up for layering.
Perfect fit and I don't leave the house without it anymore! Plenty of pockets!
It's stylish, comfortable, fits well and just what I was looking for with all its pockets.
Good quality vest for the price with lots of detail, ideal for purpose I have worn it every day!

Absolutely love
My new NF Dog training gilet - well made, fab cut - loads of actually useful
Pockets - if there was one fault it doesn’t have a hook for hanging! But I can forgive it that for all the other plus features. Couldn’t justify the cost of a new Pinewood and on balance this is much nicer. Good one again and team

Excellent looking training vest
Have been looking for a vest to replace my ancient every day training gilet. As we do agility I like to have a pocket at the back for rewards etc. Something lightweight and comfortable for hotter days; with zipped secure pockets for keys; phone etc, and this fits the bill! Ideal for sports; gundog and just dog walking.
Really nice fabric, and well made; plenty of pockets inside and out. Handy little treat bag with magnetic closure; could also be used to put poo bags in until you get to a bin! Looks very smart!
True to size. I tried over a sweatshirt and it is a comfortable fit, probably not over a jacket. However I think if I had gone up a size it would be too big.
Looking forward to road testing properly.
Was a nice purchase using a discount code and loyalty points; fast delivery from NF as usual.

This is her second
Great fit. Great price. Very comfortable and plenty of pockets. Wife is so pleased with it she wanted a second vest so that she has one to wear when the other is in the wash.

Perfect for dog walking and training
Perfect for dog walking and training. I just leave everything I need in the multitude of pockets. Love the magnetic closing on the front pockets.
I went up a size as I wanted it bigger and I'm glad I did as my usual size would've been too small.

As always delivery was as promised
As always delivery was as promised. The vest is brilliant, plenty of useful, usable pockets. A means of hanging it up is the only improvement would make but I’m giving it 98% prefect.

Great lightweight training vest, but...
Because I'm quite tall I often find that the women's vests are too short in the body so ordered a mans one too. However, the woman's length was great so I actually exchanged the man's one for another one in the other colourway.
However. Although the little treat bag is a great idea, it's pretty much useless because the fabric is so floppy. If it was in a more rigid fabric, and if it had magnets that attached it to the sides of the pocket, it would become a pocket liner and be really useful.
Hence the four stars instead of five.
Otherwise this is a great piece of kit - plenty of useful pockets and a lovely summer weight, and why I've got it in both colours!

Wow! It makes our walks so much easier.
It arrived the day after I ordered it which was great. It fits perfectly and is so comfortable, even in this heatwave we've been having. And it has so many pockets for me to put my dogs training toys, treats, extra lead, car keys & phone in, with pockets to spare. I really couldn't be happier.
I'm so happy in fact, that I'm getting one for my husband.
My dog trainer was so impressed that she's going to get one too. So it's a huge success.

Just what I needed
I am loving my New Forest Ladies Dog Training Vest. I have a Pinewood Sport Vest Mark 2 that I really rate highly but had stopped wearing it as the weather got too warm and I found it too heavy for everyday wear. I missed the ability to carry all the training equipment so found the New Forest Vest which has similar practical pockets but is less weighty and far cooler being a thinner material and mesh construction.
I will now be able to choose a vest to suit the weather conditions 😉

Sized up initially but had to return for my usual size, which was plenty big enough to wear over a thick sweater/coat

Vest is excellent
Vest is excellent. It was bought for my wife's birthday, and she's delighted with it. I took advice from other reviewers and bought one size larger to fit over a fleece or heavy jumpers, and this is a perfect fit. The only minor drawback (as others said) is the lack of a hanging loop...

Good quality vest for the price
Good quality vest for the price with lots of detail, ideal for purpose I have worn it every day ! Sizing I went for 14 when I’m usually nearer 12 but found this just right to wear with extra thin layer over base top for cooler days
