One harness.
From daily walks
to car rides.

This is a well made and heavy duty harness. It's the best harness that I've used to secure a dog in a vehicle. Andrew and his team took care to request photos of my dog and measurements to ensure the correct harness was ordered. In addition, the added my dog's name to the harness at no additional charge. Thank you, Andrew and team, Atlas loves his harness!

Great product and built very heavy duty. Andrew provided some of the best customer service I ever experienced. Really taking care to understand how my rear bench seat would be set-up. In my case the rear seats are folded up and not used. Andrew and his team provided strap extensions to make sure the seat cover was able to lay properly since normally it would be wrapped around the lower seat cushion. Thank you, Andrew and team!

This is such an exceptional harness! My shepherd wolf cross loves it.
It is well made and in addition the clips are easy to get on and off; especially important as my hands struggle due to arthritis.
I highly recommend it! Buy Canadian!

Short Review: Best harness system after buying many. Well made without being too rigid like other systems. If you’re considering, purchase it.

Long review: We purchased the defender with the leash converter. We had a “luggage” handle sewn in at the time of ordering. The staff was very helpful and triple checked to ensure everything was in the proper position.
After using the Defender Harness for a number of months and many many summer miles I can speak to it’s quality. It is made very well. I’ve purchased other crash tested harness seat belt systems that are very rigid and uncomfortable to the touch that our dog will not walk with. My dog finds the harness more comfortable walks without issues or trying to rub it off. Our dog would take food from our child in the back seat, the lower attachment points have put an end to this. The two attachment points allows the leash to be hooked up prior to the dog being completely disconnected.
The quality of the harness speaks for itself. Even the thread used to sew is of heavier thickness. Cannot say enough good things about this product. This harness will last for this and likely other dogs lives. Thank you for making such a great product.

I am so happy that I bought the seat cover. It is sturdy, looks good, and is fairly straightforward to install. Andrew came and personally installed it in my vehicle and talked to me about care and maintenance. There is room for the seatbelts to be attached and the cover can also fold down to allow for the middle drink cupholders to be down. Excellent quality and craftsmanship. Five out of five stars.

We are absolutely thrilled with our Optimus gear harness and accessories. The product is excellent and very easy to use. Andrew came out and personally fit the harness and seat cover so I could see how to do it myself. This is an excellent company with excellent customer service. If you’re thinking about getting a defender system, don’t hesitate!

Bought rear and passenger side seat covers to protect seats from my dog's paws. I installed both in my 2025 Jeep Wrangler. The fit is great and they install in minutes. I contacted Andrew through the chat on the Optimus web site on a weekend. He checked if the size would fit my vehicule while on the chat with me. Out of bounds customer service, highly recommend this product, and it's Canadian! Oh, my dog Mr. Floyd loves them.

Great fit on 2025 Jeep Wrangler. Protects the seat from my dogs paws.

Amazing product, amazing team! I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We purchased a harness for each of our two dogs - both travel very differently in the car. For each, the harnesses allow them to sit comfortably and easily sit up or lie down (in their own special ways!)They are so well designed. Both dogs are secured safely and sensibly. It makes complete sense that they also get to benefit from the locking mechanism on the shoulder straps of the seatbelts when brakes are applied. So much better than having the dog on the end of a fixed tether which is the usual style of a dog seatbelt!

Cant finish this review without commenting on the quality of the harnesses and the hardware used - in a word, phenomenal. And finally, the personalized customer service was great (spoke to the team to customize our measurements free of charge) and quick delivery.

Great product, sturdy attachment and sewing specially for a pulling GSD as mine. The orange color is perfect for avoiding loosing in the grass (happened with the camo version)

Bought this about 8 months ago and I absolutely love it. Keeps my dog super secure in the car, I can tell she feels comfortable back there when she’s wearing it. The vest is also very comfortable and easy to take on/off, I use it for all her walks. Also, customer service was extremely helpful and patient with me throughout the ordering process. Can’t recommend more!
