Does the mesh fabric get snagged when walking in the woods?

Hi, we don't walk through the woods, but she does walk through some tall weeds along the end of yards and her mesh doesn't snag. The mesh is tightly wove and feels like nylon and has a slick feel so I don't think walking in the woods would be a problem.

I have not walked my two dogs in heavy brush area so I really can't answer, however I don't see where they would snag with walking in what I call standard woods. Good luck I love these harnesses and my one dog steps right in and can't wait to have it snapped on

No, the fabric is strong and durable and moves with the pup. I haven't had any issues with these harness' .

I haven't had any issues like that, but my dog normally isn't around woods. The shrubs around my apt are not a problem with this harness tho.

I have a VERY high energy Belgian Malinois and 25 acres of woods. We hike every day (well I hike, she runs like the wind) and this vest is like her second skin. It stays on her like a glove and I've never had it snag on anything. I love it and am buying another one for my new rescue, a Belgian Tervuren. I'm answering this question a year later but maybe the information can help someone else. Joy

tight weave but the fabric is not treated against water. you can buy a can of water repellent for about $5 from sporting goods in any big store. by itself as long as you're not hanging out in a torrential downpour and just a quick jog across a parking lot in moderate rain your stuff will stay dry so long as you didn't overstuff the bag. HOWEVER please note the dye does seem to rub off/bleed a little bit. we live in oregon and it rains a fair amount. ive noticed in the 5? months my daughter has been using it that portions of the flap/outside have lost some of the color.

No! Haven't had that problem! We've been really happy with this hammock! Two of us can lay in it at the same time and it holds up really well! We have it tethered between a tree and the pergola attached to our house. Having a strong place to anchor it is key! That rope is softer than the cotton one we had before as well! So far so good!

No. It is quite sturdy. If you leave it outside year 'round, especially in the sun it will fade. The yellow fabric on the wire is poor quality an eventually tears but is easily repaired/reinforced with zip(cable) ties. Only after several years of constant outdoor abuse will the mesh tear. I have a "cat maze" set up 24/7 outside. I discarded a few old sections this spring due to weathering. One caution, however. Big dogs CAN tear the mesh if they have access and intend to get to the cats! ( FYI I have purchased two mazes and about 30 fun runs over time. I still have both mazes outdoors as well as most of the fun runs. Connected together you get a cat "habitrail".) No. It is quite sturdy.

Yes! I was running errands in the rain all day today and the fabric held up beautifully. It's tightly woven, thus making it naturally water-resistent

I don't intentionally ride in the rain but I have been caught in it. Since it does have stitching, I would guess it has a little water resistance.

I have not found that to be the case. Very comfortable. Tight weave does tend to catch a lot of leaves

Mine does not slip around at all. Maybe you could sew one of the seams tighter. No other ideas. Sorry.

The bottom of the pockets are partially mesh and canvas, but seem fairly sturdy. I put trowels and even small pruners in the pockets all the time with no problems at all. Love my garden caddy - I'm going to buy a second for my daughter-in-law who saw me using it and wants one.

It is a woven mesh. It can be chewed through (although I have yet to have that happen) so animals should not be left unattended outdoors. We have coyotes, so I would never take that chance. Check out the Kittywalk website. I think they probably have exact details.

Because I like this poncho better than my other two mil-spec ones, I'm careful to NOT let it brush up against burrs or picker-bushes because I fear they might pull the threads and start it fraying. If you're in need of something durable enough to handle being exposed to rough materials directly on the ground, I'd strongly recommend using a standard rain poncho as a barrier between this poncho liner and anything it might come in contact with. If you're not open to using a rain poncho, then maybe cut a small section out of a larger tarp and use that as a protective barrier instead.

We camped for four days, two of which we experienced heavy constant downpours. With a tarp underneath, it held up well. The fly does not go down the sides at all, so you must be very very careful to not allow anything to touch the sides or it will leak. Also, the little stow pockets on the side will leak if you have anything in them during rain. It was only moderately windy and it held up well.

I have never had a problem with the mesh at all :) it's been an amazing product that I still use on my 13 month old :)... Well worth the buy!!

It is similar to a mesh; a little stiffer and lighter than cloth, but not plastic. It can touch the foliage, but trapping air beneath it increases the protection.

There is a elastic around the edges.. I live on hill and get heavy winds and it has never blown off.

Not particularly. All contact points are cloth or plastic and the fabric is breathable. We have had no problems.
