The leather is completely comfortable. My boys will take naps in them after walks sometimes. Some dogs may be a little more sensitive at first in the armpit area. BB sells pads for that.
The bigger the BB, the stiffer the leather starts out. Max's size 4 took a little longer to break in and mold to his body than the buttery size 3. |
I agree with Maximo. The leather takes a little time to get soft but once it does, it's really soft and comfortable. When we are on road trips they are in their BB all day and don't mind. The larger ones seem to be a bit harder when new and they also vary by color too. Some colors were really hard when new and others were much softer to start. We've bought several because we didn't wait until they were full gown and they got bigger than we thought they would. I also changed my mind about color a few times.
Iris is wearing a 3 now and Ivan is a 3.5. I think that is the only half size they have. The thing I like most about them is how easy they are to put on and take off. I would not recommend for water use (like at the beach) as they are leather but a little bit of rain (or snow) would probably be fine. If you have a store near you that sells them, I would recommend trying them on first but if not, just go for it. We are lucky to have a few stores nearby that carry them. I can't recommend this product enough. We love them!
