Hurtta Summit Parka Dog Winter Coat, Cherry, 8 in

I have a smallish (22 lb) dog who hates being wet and/or cold. Since we live in the Pacific NW, there's a lot of rain and it's cold in the winter. He has very short fur with no undercoat. Even though he's active, he's also small and it's hard for him to keep warm. He likes to poke under every bush along our walks, no matter how wet. We walk about 5 miles/day, mostly on pavement but sometimes on trails. He's not a dog park kind of guy and he's always on a leash. The Hurtta Summit Parka was expensive, but it's been worth every penny. My dog's measurements: 14" back, 20" chest, 15" neck. I bought the size 14, and it fits him perfectly. Both the top and base of the neck can be tightened, and there's a ton of room in the chest buckle to adjust either bigger or smaller. For those of you with dogs that have "unique" builds, as mine does, I suggest ordering based on the back length. Be sure to watch the video so you see how to measure. It's from the withers to the tail, not from the base of the neck. If between sizes, order up. The back length can be shortened. Pros: - It's very well made and very sturdy. - Even in pouring rain, my dog stays warm and dry under the coat. - The back access slit for the harness clip is in exactly the right place. It has a flap over it which keeps the harness dry. - It's incredibly adjustable. Cons: - The back buckle was on upside down. It was annoying, but easily fixed by simply removing it, turning it over, and threading the strap back through. - I find the buckle hard to squeeze enough to get it to release. To be fair, I have arthritis in my hands that makes it difficult to pinch hard. I'm hoping it loosens up a bit. Others might not have this problem. It's certainly not a deal breaker because everything else about the coat is great. - My dog hates the elastic for his rear legs. The coat stays put well enough without, so I just don't use them.

I've a bought a couple Hurtta jackets and this one, like the rest, is very high quality. It took me a couple of tries to get the right size - thank you Amazon for allowing returns! - but this one fits exactly the way I wanted it to. She's a solid 45lb dog with a 28" chest and 20 1/2" back. I started with size 20, but it just didn't give the coverage that I wanted for our frigid Maine climate. It fit ok, but I wanted it to come down on her legs a bit more. She has a fairly long back compared to her short legs so this is perfect. We do have the Hurrta Extreme coat that I love in a size 20, and that's great when it gets brutal here. So thinking that the sizes would be the same, I went with the 20, and like I said, decided to size up. I gave it 5 stars for water resistance even though we haven't had much of a chance to try that out, but I'm pretty sure it's everything Hurtta says it is. I'll update if it's not. I haven't tried out the elastics around her back legs yet as it stays down quite nicely without them. I love all the adjustments. Pros: Very warm, but not heavy or too bulky Not stiff and seems easy to run in. It doesn't hinder her front leg movement at all! She's a crazy dog when running in the snow with it on =) Lots of adjustments to customize fit Harness opening - a must for dogs who use a harness Easy to pop on over her head, bring the chest part between her legs and buckle up Cons: Pretty pricey, but hopefully it will last as long as most Hurtta coats The color is really bright! It would be nice if they offered this with more color options Hurrta makes quality products and since my girl is not quite 2, I expect to get lots of use out of this coat so it justifies the cost. I highly recommend it!

Bought this for my pitbull to hike in the White Mountains in winter and it has overall been excellent. I bought a size 24 which admittedly was a size too big. A 22 would have still worked but this jacket is incredibly adjustable due to the cinch above the tail. I was concerned initially that the chest part would be too tight or rub because she’s a pitbull and tiny in the waist but huge in the chest. Definitely not an issue. The arm holes are cut generously and the chest and belly part of the coat is large enough that it wrapped well around her to keep her covered. Definitely size up if your dog is borderline for sizing because the tail cinch and generous buckle cinch will keep it from being too overwhelming. I recommend cutting off the elastics on the insides of the flaps over the thighs. They were big on my girl and caused rubbing issues and just got coated in ice anyway. So to combat the flappy-ness of the jacket we just cinch it down well around her waist and tie a lose knot in the buckle. Holds well all day. Kept her warm and warded off shivering on several summits well below zero as long as she was moving. Next year I think I’ll buy the extreme warmer to go under. It compresses and rolls up fairly small considering what it looks like when you hold it up, which is excellent because I refuse to carry more than a 20l pack for a day hike. Excellent parka. Worth every penny if you’ve got a dog with very little fur who has an active winter lifestyle.

I REALLY like this coat for my dog, especially because of the way it’s easy to take on or off. I will say, I didn’t factor in the little back leg straps, which can get stretched out and actually bother my dog (I think) - she’s always rubbing against fences and snowbanks and the ground because I think they maybe itch her, so that is kind of a downside, because without them, the coat shifts around a lot and you really need them in order for it to stay balanced/even. The straps also adds to the time it takes to put it on and take it off. It were just the buckle, it would be SUPER easy. Dogs learn to just back out of the coat while you take it off over their head. I do wish the back straps were altered to be almost like little pants/shorts/sleeves for the back legs. It would take more time to put the coat on, but I think it would be more sturdy and less likely to shift around (because with the straps, it can still shift from side to side). With little leg holes, it would stay on better and maybe not itch the dog the way the straps do. And like I said, the straps do get stretched out somewhat, and they tend to fray. Otherwise, the quality of this coat is top notch. The fabric, the design, the fit- its beautiful. I have also noticed that the reflective coating on one side has come off, but not terribly so. It’s really a great coat and I would buy another if needed another. I don’t notice needing the cinch cords that much, but it is a nice option to have them. I think the level of warmth is perfect, and we live in a very cold climate. I just washed the coat for the first time and it went through a regular wash cycle and dryer just fine.

My mixed breed Beagle/Terrier weighs 30 pounds. Her back measured 19 inches so I bought the 20 inch coat. It was way too big. I thought it would work anyway by cinching up the belt, but I let her run free for about 5 minutes on my 9 acres and she got so tangled up in it that I had to literally cut the coat off her back. So then I bought the 18 inch version, which fits much better. But the coat has several flaws, all mentioned by previous reviewers. The belt buckle is sewn on upside down and it hard to buckle. I have to twist the belt to make the buckle right side up, which buckles easier but is still very stiff, a cheap plastic buckle. The belt does not stay tight--it loosens and that makes the underbelly part sag. The rear straps are useless--I cut them off. Snow gets under the chest/belly part and the fleece gets wet. On the plus side, my dog likes this coat and prances around in it. Except for the buckle, it goes on quickly. It keeps her warm while going outdoors to potty. It will get us through this terrible cold spell currently on-going in the Midwest. I don't see how it would work even for walks, due to the strap loosening. I don't think it's safe for letting the dog run free--too big of a chance of getting tangled up on something. I will use this for the current cold spell, but keep looking for a better overall coat. I think this coat is way overpriced. An $80 coat should be perfect, not have all these issues. 1/6/18 update I have changed my review from 2 stars up to 4 stars. This coat did a great job of getting my dog through a stretch of bitter cold weather. At the worst it was -18 degrees out with -35 wind chill when she went out in the morning. I particularly like the way the coat covers her neck and also her chest area. She was just going in and out for potty breaks, not spending any extra time outside, but still, we got through this period without her catching cold. When she came in, she wasn't shivering very much. Without a coat, she would normally be shivering a lot at much warmer temps than this. So I felt I had to upgrade my rating. The buckle is a real pain in the neck, hard to undo, especially for older hands. And the strap does not stay pulled tight. But the insulation and the overall coverage of the coat is excellent. 12/16/20 update Well, now my review is up to 5 stars. This coat has gotten my dog through several winters. I am so grateful to have a coat she is happy to wear and that keeps her warm. All the little details that bothered me at first don't even matter now. What matters is this coat keeps her warm and dry. The coat has held up so well, it still looks new. Because she is 13 years old now, her hair is thinner and she needs more help. So I think I'll get her the Hurtta extreme warmer coat as well, which appears to have a liner to reflect body heat. But this summit parka is still great for most days. Thank you, Hurtta, for making a great coat and helping my dog.

My dog, Charlie, is a lean lab/hound mix at 35 lbs with especially short/thin hair around her legs. I bought her this parka after I noticed her shivering after about five minutes outside, even with a cheaper fleece-lined jacket from Pet Smart, when the temperature fell below 35 degrees. This Hurtta parka is a high quality product--it kept her warm for upwards of an hour during our Christmas day hike when it was 28 degrees outside. Charlie loves wearing it too--she'll stick her nose into the parka so I can slip it over her head! Besides keeping her warm in subzero temperatures, it's easy to put on, feels comfy, gives her the freedom to move around, and looks adorable to boot. I love how the cherry pink pops against her black coat. Using the measurement instructions, I bought her an 18" parka, which fits her length-wise; the chest strap is extremely adjustable, as is the area around the neck, but not as much. There's also an opening for a harness, though we don't use that. The only downside is that Charlie didn't immediately take to the straps around the legs. Since she had never worn anything vaguely near her butt before, on her first walk using the parka she stopped every once in a while to lick her butt as if to lick the straps off. She's gotten more used to the leg/butt straps now, but unless she's playing in the dog park, where she rolls around like a maniac, I don't use them because the parka stays snug during a walk/jog/hike without them. I also don't put the straps on her until after she's pooped--don't think they would interfere with the, uh, excretion process but don't want to risk it. Summary: excellent quality, fit and style.

I love this coat already. (We will have to see how it does this winter) But I'm already impressed with the quality and sizing. The fit is just awesome. It is super adjustable waist. I have a tall skinny/long dog and normally coats that cover his butt just drape down on him. (Or vice versa, they fit his waist and leave a few inches of his butt uncovered) This jacket fits perfect. I'd recommend using the length as a primary number, because as long as your dogs waist is smaller than the largest waist size you should be set. Even the length can be adjusted to be slightly shorter with the little tail adjustment. This is super easy to put on, and take off. It takes me about 2 seconds to put it on him and then we are ready to go. The material is nice. The inside fleece is soft and the coat feels like it has enough fluff in it to keep him warm through most the winter. When we hit single digits I might need to put an under layer on my pup (he has a really thin coat). But it seems like it'll keep him warm and comfortable from the 40s-10s degrees (F) without any additional layers needed. Only bad note, the little spandex strips that go around his back legs (this keeps the back coat flaps from blowing in the wind) are super long/loose (again he's a tall skinny dog) but with 15 mins and my sewing kit I'll be able to custom fit these to my pup. So it . shouldn't really be an issue, and it's such a minor detail since the main points of the coat fit him perfect. Honestly I wish I found this jacket sooner, its well worth the price.

I don't generally like buying dog items that need to be sized online, however the chart provided in the listing is comprehensive and resulted in a perfect fit the first time. I chose the Hurtta Summit Parka since we live in the PNW where it's cold, wet, and/or snowy for 4-6 months out of the year. I've heard a general rule of thumb is that if you are cold, your dog is cold, especially for short hair dogs, or dogs without an undercoat. We enjoy getting out in the winter, and snow hiking, but we have a young border collie with no undercoat. His first snow hike he was cold and wet when we got back to the car, and he curled up in a little ball on the way home slowly stretching out as he warmed up. Our next snow hike he had the Summit Parka. When we got back to the car, only his legs, face and tail were wet, and it was warm under the coat. He did not curl up in a ball on the way home. I'm 100% sold. Once our puppy is full size he will also be getting a Summit Parka. The coat is exceptional quality. It's easy to get on and off, and has a few adjustment points if you want to snug it up (which we haven't needed to yet). It does not slip around, and he hikes as if he isn't wearing a coat. He's done about 11 miles over two weekends with plenty of running, and jumping around on logs and rocks. It does not impede his agility or speed. The top layer is a water resistant material and under is a fleece layer. For our upper 20's - low 40's hiking weather it will be perfect. Highly recommended!

I dont write a lot of reviews but after looking at many jacket options, I am so happy that I purchased this item! It not only looks good on, it is adjustable as well in terms of the straps that can shorten the length of the jacket. The sizing is very good, it fits my dog really well, I worry about him growing more as he is only 10 months and did order a size up but with the option of having adjustable straps really helps make it fit well. Many jackets were either down and looked like the fit was too bulky but this jacket is perfect thickness wise as it has fleece on the inside along with waterproofing material on the outside to help act as a windbreaker. It is easy to put on and adjust and this blanket doesnt affect his ability to run and play at all. I would say only downfall is the leg straps are not adjustable and are pretty long that sag down to my dogs knees but i just banded around the straps to make them shorter and they do pop off the link attachment. In comparison after owning horses, leg straps help the blanket stay secure but I would like to see them be more adjustable and have better cusps so they dont pop off. But this is easy to make work! Overall I am extremely happy and would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good winter blanket!

このメーカーのウィンタージャケットがとても良くて、今回サミットパーカーがとても安くなっていたので 即購入しました。フレンチブルドッグ５歳10ｋｇの女の子用に35で丁度良いです。 １つだけ、後ろ足にかけるゴムは必要が無く裾側を切って胴体で縛って使っています。 ウィンタージャケットの出番まで、サミットパーカーが大活躍です。

I started to get poorly before Christmas so my mummy bought me one of these coats so that I could stay warm when we went out for walkies. I don't have to go to the vets so much now and I'm feeling a lot better. The coat keeps my fur dry and I don't get so dirty because the chest panel stops any splashes when I jump in the puddles. Mummy says it's really easy to wipe clean too - she hasn't had to put it in the washing machine yet. I got a new baby sister a few weeks ago and mummy bought her a matching coat so that we would look the same. Bessie's coat was quite big and mummy adjusted it so that it would fit her better and now that she is growing mummy can adapt it to fit her without having to buy a new coat each time she gets bigger. People smile at us when we go out on our walks and say 'what lovely coats'. Eddy the Collie.

Der Mantel ist super und wirklich jeden Cent wert. Qualitativ hochwertiges Material, super Verarbeitung, vor allen Dingen der einzige Mantel, den der Hund gerne trägt. Bei allen bisherigen Jacken hat sie sich eher unwillig in ihr Schicksal gefügt. Hiermit hat sie sich zum Schlafen eingerollt. Der Mantel stinkt auch überhaupt nicht so unsäglich nach Chemie, wie manche Vorgänger. Einfach anzuziehen ist er ebenfalls. Einfach über den Kopf ziehen und die Schnalle schließen. Von der Größe her passt er ziemlich genau, wenn man sich an die Maßtabelle des Herstellers hält. Im Zweifelsfall würde ich eine Nummer größer Bestellen, kürzer machen kann man den Mantel mit einem Band, das in den hinteren Rückenteil eingearbeitet ist. Ich hoffe, der Mantel hält auch im härteren Outdoorbereich was er verspricht. Ich gehe aber schwer davon aus! Lieber das Geld für preiswertere Kandidaten sparen, etwas mehr investieren und dafür etwas bekommen, dass das Geld wert ist! Klare Kaufempfehlung! Die Lieferung war übrigens auch schneller als angekündigt hier und alles gut verpackt!
