Very nice harness!
This harness is working great for us! I really like it.
I ordered a size small for my Brittany, Ripley. Ripley is slightly large for a Brittany, about 20" tall and 39 lbs with a 24" chest. The harness fits her very close to its tightest setttings. She has about an inch to an inch-and-a-half of strap available for tightening remaining at each of the four locations. That makes the harness pretty true to size, based on the sizing chart. You can see the fit in the included photos.
I chose this harness because Ripley is a bit of a puller, and we've been having some trouble with rubbing under her armpits from a few of the other harnesses we've tried when she pulls. So far, we haven't had any of the same issues with this harness. It doesn't rub anywhere, so no sores. In addition, this harness paired with a leash with two loops (the kind with a short one at the front and a longer one at the end) has done wonders for her pulling. We haven't even had to use the front attachment point at all. The front attachment does seem a little weaker, but since we haven't needed to use it, I can't say for sure whether or not it it a potential failure point.
The reviews for the harness when I first purchased it had me a little hesitant. I love ruffwear gear (and I own a lot of it), but many of the photos for this product show a broken attachment point. It appears that this is from the older version of the harness, the versions that come with gray straps (mine is solid pink). The newer version, which has straps that are the same color at the harness, has an added plastic piece between the fabric loop and the metal attachment point on the back. This added piece of plastic seems to be doing a pretty good job of protecting the fabric strap from wear by the metal loop. If anything changes, I'll update my review.
Overall, this is a very nice harness and I'm impressed with the quality.
