I purchased one of these at a local pet store. What appealed to me most is something that won't translate well on the web the material used to make this harness is very soft and pliable, unlike stiff nylon. It feels really nice. It appeared that it would be more comfy for my dog to wear. She currently gets sores under her armpits after wearing a nylon harness. I thought maybe a softer material would be less abrasive and irritating.
I got the coordinating leash and was really excited to try this out, but the large ended up not fitting my dog, who is a very trim Labrador Retriever. She's not big for a Lab, and there are definitely a lot of dogs bigger than her, so I'm really surprised there isn't a size larger than this available. Her old harness is a large and is adjusted down to fit her. This one was tight even fully extended.
Additionally, the style of this harness is a bit different, it requires your dog to step through both "legs" of it. My old harness just required the dog to step one leg through, and strap that goes under the dog was then fed through the loop on the back of the dog. This style was much easier for my dog to get into compared to the soy harness. Not a huge deal, especially if the new one had fit, but alas it did not. Another thing worth noting is that this harness has two D rings that you are supposed to snap your leash into. Depending on the size of your leash, you may have trouble fitting both D rings on to your leash hardware, so I thought I'd mention it.
I suggest buying this in a store where you can size it on your pet.
Like the other reviewer, I also tried to track down the manufacturer to see if there were any larger sizes, but I can't find any web presence at all, which is a bummer.
Amazon doesn't display the sizes in the titles for this product. It really is quite silly to describe the harness in terms of the width of the fabric when that gives no information about the sizing at all.
