OneTigris Tactical Dog Harness No-Pull Vest (Ranger Green)

 I absolutely love these harnesses. I have two Bosten Terriers but one of them is smaller than his brother. I ordered them both the small sizes to see the fit quality and the size is pretty much spot on.

However, of the two I ordered, one was a tad bit small for the larger of the two Terriers. I adjusted the straps but for some reason, that strap just kept coming lose after a walking trial with the harness on the larger dog to the point the strap came completely off the buckle and because of that, had to cut the walking trial short and come back to the house before anything else happened.

Luckily we were only a hundred yards away from the house when this happened. But the strap had come lose a couple of times already and I had to stop to tighten it up but it just kept coming lose to the point the strap literally fell free of the buckle and I was a bit ticked off about that.

So, I’m giving this a three star for that reason. Otherwise, this is a really good durable harness and going to exchange for a size Medium and see how that works out.

Update: August 5,2023…I received the Medium and it was just a bit too big for my older Boston Terrier. I adjusted it as tight as it woukd go but I felt it woukd hurt him a little bit by being too tight.

So, after all this, I may try another brand or just simply order the small size again and see if I can’t get it to work. I really do like these harnesses and they really are well made.

I’m going to go ahead and give this a four stars now because it’s not a defect or anything. My Terrier is literally in between the small and medium sizes so I think if I order the small again, I can just do the adjustment and try to make it work. If not, will order another brand and see what will work.

Stay tuned…

Bought this harness for my wife’s service dog for 5 days of hiking across Utah’s National Parks. This review is following approximately 20 hrs of trail hiking (uphill/downhill/uneven terrain), with 5 total molly pouches attached carrying 2 liters of water, dog food/snacks, bowl, and a first aid kit.

Fit-wise: Our dog is a 45lb, medium size, boxer/shepherd mutt. The Medium sized harness fit fine in both the chest and stomach area. I’ve had problems in the past with harnesses where the chest portion fit fine, but it was too loose around her much smaller belly area. This becomes a problem if you actually have pouches on a harness that are even slightly uneven in weight, which causes the harness to drastically slide over one side of a pups body within minutes of a walk. Specifically this harness was pretty good in making sure her weighted vest stay relatively even on her back on level terrain (it can be tightened pretty good, and the middle chest ‘Y’ helped), and only required occasional manual readjustment. When going downhill, if it was especially steep, the harness slid forward as can be expected, but nothing catastrophic and was eaily pulled off the back of her neck with a leash tug. Also, after all the hours of hiking, there was no fur bald spots or red skin anywhere indicating any chafing so that was good to see also.

Harness Construction: There were more than a few hiking spots where I used the harness’ handle to physically haul her up to a place she couldn’t reach on her own, and it was pretty sturdy (45lb dog + 10 lbs gear). Also, this harness was getting scraped through underbrush, against rock faces, and a couple river crossings with no noticable failure or problems, so no complaints there either. On each side of the harness are 4 molly slots for gear configuration which pretty much rules out any molly gear that takes up 3 slots as it limits you to only using 1 of those on each side without having to resort to some janky solution. Ultimately, I found my best setup was two Fitackle 8.7″ x 4.9″ molle pouches on each side (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074DQHYR4/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2), and a medical ‘rip-away’ Molle first aid kit ontop/across her back (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074QM3VBB/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_8). FYI: A first aid kit on a dog should be rip away so you’re not trying to hold a dog still while trying to get at medical supplies.

Each of the molle pouches I listed is large enough to hold a 1L Nalgene bottle, so the dog could carry 4 liters of water itself (10 lbs water + pouches) , but for anyone reading these: your dog shouldn’t carry more than 1/3 of it’s body weight (and it should be carried across the shoulders, not the middle groove of the back, which this harness did a good job of also).

Overall, I was pretty pleased with the performance of the vest, and my only recommendations would be to lengthen it *just* enough to make it 5 molly slots wide on each side so you can use a wider configuration of molly pouches/accessories, and include a trio of 1″ squares of reflective velcro patches (that can go on the chest ‘Y’ and each side of the harness) so you can walk your dog in this harness at night (let’s be honest, we’re not SF operators, and actually want our dogs to be seen so they’re not hit by cars and we can find them roaming about in bushes).
