I am seriously considering getting a couple of the DT All Weather harnesses for my carting dog, Hobbes and cart-dog-in-training, Calvin. What I want to know is, what has everyone's experience with them been and has anyone on the board used them for carting? Is the back saddle shaped peice also made of solid nylon and how thick is it there as I would have to make a minor modification to it in order to use my dorsal shaft? I wish to know because if I get them, they would be the last carting harnesses I would buy for a long time as the holes are starting to pull out of my current ones so they don't fit as snug as they should. Thanks for your replies in advance!

There are three solid D-rings on that harness, but I'm not sure that center one would work for what your doing. There is some material (about 1-1/2" worth) from the attachment point to the back of the 'pad' and the ring lays really flat on the harness. I sometimes have a little trouble getting my leash hooked up quickly to the top ring.
For durability it's pretty darn well made and gives him a very professional look (unlike his slob owner) and the reflective piping works really well at dusk with headlights. And it's easy to clean out after it's been rolled in coon/skunk poop (ask me how I 'know').
Though really for what your doing I would look into getting one of D&T's padded harnesses (if the ones the Ed's sells aren't right).
