Is it this?
I don't really care for vests like that. I've never seen the need for the extra fabric. Not only from a heat perspective (the more fabric the more heat the dog is going to generate, and the more it's going to be trapped), but for a longer haired dog due to the fact that any extra material is going to cause more tangling/matting.
I prefer to use a simple step in harness similar to this for my Shih Tzu. We walk very early in the morning or later in the evening, and play fetch and other games inside for additional exercise.
