What is Cut Gear?
Cut Gear is a term for Protective Vests and Collars for hunting dogs, most commonly Hog Dog Vests and Collars. Cut gear is designed to protect dogs from wild boar and decrease the likelihood of a serious or fatal injury. Southern Cross Cut Gear offers multiple style vests and collars utilizing true Dupont™ Kevlar® and other protective layers. Catch Dog Vests are designed to offer the highest level of protection for dogs likely to come in frequent direct contact with wild boar. Strike and Bay Dog Vests are designed to offer lightweight and flexible protection without inhibiting movement. Cut Collars are designed to protect one of the most vulnerable areas on a dog with several styles that are compatible and will also protect tracking collars. Attached Collar vests are available for ease of use and an even higher level of protection. Custom gear can be built to meet exact specifications such as color and fit. Add ons such as Leg Guards, Chin Guards, Extra Para-Aramid and Flotation can be selected as well. Cut Gear is truly a vital piece of equipment for any hunting dog in the field.

Testimonials
When I first discovered Southern Cross Cut Gear, and met Dave, I ordered a custom Elite Catch Vest on February 23rd, 2020. Dave personally helped me get the measurements I needed for it to fit my dog perfectly. Right off the bat with Dave personally helping me, I grew a lot of respect for him and his company. Not all company owners will go out of their way to help any random stranger that needs a little help when ordering something off the website.
When the vest finally arrived, I was nervous about a few things. Will it actually fit perfectly? Is it really as good as people say it is? Well I was about to find out! Within a couple of months and a handful of hunts, I never regretted my decision. Thousands of hogs and 2 1/2 years later from purchasing the vest, it still goes on the same exact dog every time I go hunt, and has yet to have any holes through the vest. I now own 3 Elite Catch Vest that are by far the best purchases I’ve made for my catch dogs.
Every hog hunter is always looking for the best gear on the market for they’re dogs. From cut gear and anything else that will help them in the woods! And without a doubt, I think Southern Cross Cut Gear is the best on the market!
I’ve tried several competitors before using SCCG...hands down , the most functional and protective vest available. I’ll never use another brand. We catch a lot of rank boars 🐗 When I send my catch dogs in to a bay, I feel 100% confident that they’re protected in their SCCG vests. Excellent company with great gear. The best.
We track 200+ times a year on lead and have been in some sticky situations with our tracking dogs encountering lively wounded deer in dense cover. After some close calls with angry deer and a buddy's dog getting gored on lead that prompted us to look for a vest for our dogs that offers some protection and piece of mind when we encounter these situations. Through some other trackers we were turned onto the Armored Dog line and after using them for the last half of this season I couldn't be happier! Not only does it offer protection against an aggressive angry wounded buck but also against nasty briars and clearcuts that we are so often tracking in! The custom option of adding Kevlar lining for extra piece of mind and the ability to choose a variety of colors and moving around the D ring for better handling on leash makes a great product even better! We have one for each of our 3 dogs and we recommend them to anyone looking for that extra piece of mind for your tracking partner!
Ted Nugent's beloved dog Happy was injured on a hunt in South Florida so Ted reached out to Southern Cross Cut Gear to get Happy geared up and protected. Ted Nugent pictured with Happy in his Southern Cross Full Vest.
Great customer service and best protection on the market for dogs wouldn’t run any other cut vest than southern cross s always rely on southern cross for the safety of my dogs
True dog hunters want the best for their dogs, when it comes to protection, and products that last Southern Cross is on the top of the game. Here in South East Texas, we have a lot of water and some good toothy pigs, Using the elite catch vest, I’ve yet to have a bulldog cut down where the vest was covering. Some may look and think it’s heavy, it is not, as long as your dog can swim without one, it can swim with it on like it ain’t even there. Quality products and Great customer service. You need it? Southern Cross has got it!
