*K9 Storm Vests are tested for threat protection against a variety of common knives and found to be effective in defeating or minimizing injuries in most cases. The style/shape of blade, quality of steel, sharpness, angle of attack, and foot pounds of force exerted are all factors that influence whether or not a blade is defeated.


The K9 Storm Search and Rescue Vest is ideal for K9 emergency task force work. The patented built-in load bearing harness system rated to 2500 lbs. allows the rescue dogs to be lifted or lowered in a variety of disaster scenarios. Helicopter rescue attempts and parachuting missions for the K9 team are all made possible when the dog is wearing a K9 Storm Search and Rescue Vest. The Search and Rescue Vest is equipped with 2 load bearing V-Rings for both parachute and helicopter rescues. The V-Rings, securely tied down when not in use, and the snug custom fit of the K9 Storm Search and Rescue Vests make them safe for the rescue dogs to search freely. Lightweight and comfortable-ideal for working dog identification in public places.

Threat Protection:
The underside of the K9 Storm Search and Rescue Vest is constructed of Kevlar 129 offering protection against scrapes and slashes common in disaster terrain. A 3M highly reflective style line makes the dog clearly visible.

Construction:
K9 Storm Search and Rescue Vests are constructed with 1000 denier blaze orange and black Cordura. Optional Kozak Spine: 3M reflective yellow and silver piping, available for enhanced visibility. Strobe light or light stick attachments are built right into the Storm on request. Search Camera Equipment mountings are manufactured at the time of construction for specialty search dog teams.
 
"K9 Storm makes the perfect vest. All the other manufacturers make . . . something else."
