I have the hurtta expedition for my guy and we both love it. I agree with you....water PROOF is needed as I am in northern MN and the snow is often wet and heavy, sticking to everything. Can't remember which one had the pull up to the top of the head bur hurrta would be wise to add that feature as well....loved the drawstring to tighten and hold it closed. thank you...subscribing.
I don't think I'd ever get a parka to stand up to the way Tucker gets on in the woods lol. He even hates putting on his safety vest during hunting season, but i won't go out then unless he has it on. He usually freezes for while when I put it on him lol. That sensor was a great way to track temperatures, very thorough testing great job. However if I continue to winter camp as he gets older it might be an ideal for a sleeping jacket because I can't get him to stay in a sleeping bag or stay covered a jacket he wouldn't have a choice.
Tucker looks like a healthy labrador, with a nice thick coat. I'm not surprised he doesn't like jackets. 🙂 I grew up with a Lab, and she never seemed to need a coat. Now I have Glia, a dog with fur like a boxer (no undercoat). I never thought I'd be dressing my dog up so much, but she shivers on hikes when it's below freezing. So here I am with a bunch of dog jackets, haha. But also, yes. A jacket is a great sleeping solution. Glia also won't sleep in a bag or stay under a blanket, so she almost always sleeps in a sweater or jacket when we tent camp in fall/spring.
@@pawsitivelyintrepid yeah it definitely would depend on the breed , Tucker does have a good healthy coat and I guess the face that he will jump unto a water hole that still partially frozen, run around get out for a while then jump back in he doesn't find it uncomfortable lol. I'm trying to remember what breeds.one of my sons dog are she's built a lot like Gila and they wear a coat on her, their other dog a young husky loves it rolling and laying in the snow lol.
