My wife and I have one of these for our dog, who is pretty athletic. It's one of the best coats out there if not the best in my opinion, (other Hurtta jackets are the exception). Our dog runs through ramble and bushes chasing after squirrels, almost every day, so her coat is pretty beat up. It does have some rips in the outer shell that we are having someone local patch up for us. The reflector stripe peeled off on ours after just a few months. It definitely is not rainproof. Water-resistant yes, but not for a steady rain after some time it will get wet. So far after a year, it's still hanging in there. Highly recommend it.
Thanks for your follow up review. I very much agree as an all around option and with out getting to much more insulated coat/jacket I think for many dog owners it is the best option. Would love to see one with the improvements I noted including the reflectors being improved upon. Best wishes to you and your pup.
Medium is what fit him best, large works but was too bulky. As you can see in the video there are many points of adjustment but I feel overall it runs a bit large.
Wow what a great and thorough review. Just ordered the jacket in orange.
Thanks! Appreciate the commentary. Have a great new year and best wishes to you and your pup. Let me know how the coat works out!

Thank you for this review. Very informative and helpful.
That anything that was specifically of value or interest or you would have like to see? Thanks for the comment and have a great weekend.
What size did you get him?

He looks about the same size as my dog and was trying to decide to get her a 22in or a 24in.
