What equipment are you useing. - Page 2

I use Schweikert pants and jackets and I find them very easy to move in, very breathable and durable. The only downside is that after a hot day working dogs the material does soak up the sweat and will need to be washed or it will smell like an old football locker.

As far as sleeves I use a Paul Horton sleeve that is probably 12-15 years old. (Was a gift from my first training helper). I have used it for 4 years and it works great and looks brand new. I recently tried the new Horton trial sleeve and will be ordering one soon. I have used the Belgian arm and it is really nice, but it is one of the heavier sleeves. The gappay fits a little tight and I don't like the angle of the bite bar / handle relation, it is a little unatural for me. I have used a schweikert sleeve once and remember liking it, but can't remember why know.

Thanks guys.

Well after doing some research, I decided on:

http://www.thebiteshop.com/shop/product.php?id_product=882

It is actually the same sleeve that leerburg is selling for 30 more lol, and people been telling me it is excellent all around sleeve. Any one on here that usued it? Any last minute sugestions?

When comes to scratch pants I am still not surre I am either going with the cheapest one:

Scratch nylon pants from elitek9

or the more expensive:

http://www.allk-9.com/schweikert-aerolight-scratch-pants-p-234.html

(now you think fully padded is the way to go? I don't think so but I would rather hear other people opinion).

Thanks to all of you that gave his/her opinion.
