    I use and have used Julius K9 gear with great effect, the IDC harnesses and saddle bags are great.

    It's not the cheapest of gear, but it's solid and hard wearing. I've used their older harnesses and the newer IDC power harnesses. I ran bags on my springer spaniels at home, removed them for flushing.

    I'm running a JK9 idc on my springer pup, with a front Y control attachment for controlling him in crowds or near traffic which I'm slowly introducing him to at 11 months.

    I have been looking in to this recently and Hannah at Twin needle has sent me a photo of theirs. The plan is to have the basic harness with molle straps so that you can add or remove pouches. I have problems posting the shot but "They will retail at around the $250 mark, and we will make them in Black and High vis Orange, but could custom make in any colour way if you don’t mind waiting for it to be sewn"

    I have a lot of their gear and rate it. I can't remember the exact model, but it has a cool carry handle to throw your dog around.
    @craigc loves it and will likely buy his dog one soon.... mark my words

    Be aware that if running your dog up through tussock and matagouri, conventional material will wear through in a season. I ended up sewing large leather patches over the threadbare front 'impact' sections, and he got another 3 seasons out of it.
