It has elastic properties, called the DuoFlex® system, which reduces the micro-vibrations, thus significantly increasing the comfort of both the dog and the dog walker. Having the text on the back makes it a little less visible than in the case of their IDC Powerharness unless you have a small dog and you are looking at the harness from above anyways.Īnd last but not least, we arrived at the most impressive feature of this harness. As you see in the picture below, the velcro part is a little wider on this harness (not the exact size of the patch), so it is easy to put on.
Julius k9 dog harness Patch#
I appreciate that Julius-K9 design their products in a way that the same size velcro patch fits the same sized IDC Powerharness, the neoprene coat, or this new harness as well, so you don’t have to order new ones for the same sized dog. The downside of the velcro straps is that they can collect all kinds of plants, flowers, etc., but the upside is that you can actually place a small velcro patch on it with a text if the adjustment on your dog leaves room for that. It holds strong and can be easily adjusted. It worked great on their IDC Powerharness, so why change it. This is a unique solution to Julius-K9 at least, we haven’t seen any other company using velcro for adjustable straps. Strong velcros are used for the adjustment of the neck straps.
The harness has four adjustment points, two strong plastic buckles on the chest straps, and one leash attachment point on the back. This way, the chest part of the harness doesn’t collect much mud, and it doesn’t soak the water in either. The back panel has some padding but much less than the Powerharness, while the chest pad is even thinner without any soft padding. This harness is much lighter than the IDC Powerharness, and the panels are thinner. Their goal was to design a comfortable harness, which included ensuring that the neck part doesn’t put any pressure on the lower neck. Julius-K9 did extensive research before coming up with this design. It is also an aesthetically pleasing, beautifully designed product that won the Red Dot Design Award award in 2019 and the German Design Award in 2020. It has strong sewings, durable materials and was designed to be comfortable for long walks and hikes. The quality and the attention to detail are excellent with this harness. Since we got an early version, the neon yellow harness has the original “Guard Your Joints” name instead of “IDC Longwalk.” We later received the new version (red harness), but the only difference between the two is the texts the designs are the same. Julius-K9 is well known for their Norwegian-style IDC Powerharness, so we were excited to be one of the first to test their first Y-harness before it was available on the market. They are also one of the few companies that do extensive testing on their products and conduct researches to understand better what works best for the dogs. Julius-K9 started as a small, Hungarian family business in 1997, and since then, they sold more than 7 million products - many to police units and for service dogs.
