It was pouring down rain in Paris late last September and the coat we had brought for Sparkles, while warm, wasn’t waterproof.

  1. I wouldn’t appreciate on your next raincoat review to please always rate the “breathability” of the coat . As Many people already own “winter weight “ coats that are waterproof . We are also looking to purchase a lightweight , Highly breathable coat for the warm months , when it rains .. Dog’s comfort is the top priority

  2. Hurtta has always been popular and to a lesser extent Pompaa. For the American readers try Chilly Dogs Canada (not the Peruvian sweater company)….excellent quality with regular fit, burly fit and long and lean. Highly recommend this Canadian company for fit. They are expensive but the strong US dollar makes it much better priced.
