This raincoat is not cheap. But it is worth at least twice its price. The materials used are clearly as top-notch as the workmanship is superfine. I take my hat off to as well as salute the designers at Hurtta.Where my dog and I are, it is now the raining season. It rains daily, and that will go on till end of March/early April. The rain can get so heavy that visibility is limited to around 80 metres/yards to 120 metres/yards. Beyond that, you only see a grey wall. As I take my dog out daily, rain or shine, for her exercise, a raincoat that keeps most of her body dry and yet allows great freedom of movement is of paramount importance. This raincoat fits the bill p-e-r-r-r-r-f-e-c-t-l-y.The raincoat is especially suitable for dogs that love to indulge in intense activities outdoors in any weather. For that reason, the material used to cover the dog's body consists of three layers that make it (the raincoat) waterproof and yet breathable. Do note, however, that it may not be quite suitable on its own for sub–zero temperatures. In that situation, the Hurtta Pet Collection Summit Parka or Hurtta Ultimate Warmer might be your better option.It is not shown in the picture, but the part that covers the neck actually has two adjustments, one at the base of the neck, and the other, at the top edge. This means our dog’s neck will stay free of water or snow. And, of course, it will not be assaulted by wind.The edges of the chest panel/cover is one of the features that impress me. They are softly elasticised. This means that our dog will not feel any discomfort in her/his parts of the chest and belly that come in contact with the edges.A strap (comprising two parts, of course) from this chest panel is wound around the top panel and secured with a side-release plastic buckle. Even during an intense activity, our dog’s chest and belly will still stay covered.The rear portion of the coat is kept in place by means of two slim, soft elastic bands and a button. We put our dog’s hind legs through the bands. And we button up the two sides of the top panel under the base of our dog’s tail.I especially love the fact that my dog’s hindquarters are as well covered as her upper front legs. I am not too impressed with raincoats that leave these exposed.And, yes, a protected opening on the back for my leash attached to a harness to go through is yet another plus point.Reflective strips abound on this coat to ensure our dogs are readily seen by motorists and others at night. As well, even the two cords used to adjust the tightness around the base and the top of the neck respectively and the strap reflect light. You can see this in the picture I am attaching. Even if you ignore the two reflective straps coming up from the orange component and another one around the top of the neck, you will appreciate the great visibility that this coat affords.These are parts of the special vest (coloured safety orange) that my dogs wear; it protects the chest, belly and genitals against things on the ground that can cause serious injuries. The picture was taken at 8.19 pm in a forest and the rain had just stopped. When we got home, I only needed to clean my dog's lower legs and tail, and dry her head.After some 12 years of buying raincoats that did not quite satisfy or even completely disappointed me, I have found the perfect one. I am giving this ten stars. You will have to imagine the other five not shown above :-)))))Do I need to say that I strongly recommend this raincoat?
