Hurtta Monsoon Coat

 Hurrta - For Active Dogs!

The Monsoon Coat by Hurtta is the latest product we're reviewing for Podgy Paws Pet Shop in Keswick. We received the coat in the colour Buckthorn which is an absolutely stunning orange colour. It also comes in three other beautiful colours but I'm absolutely obsessed with this one.

Hurtta say this raincoat is an essential jacket for every dog in rainy, windy or muddy weather and they aren't wrong. The quality of this coat is superb and I'm most impressed with the fit. Our dogs are often in between sizes and a bit awkward to fit with some brands but I can't shout enough about how nicely this coat fits. The size guide is clear and accurate with an easy 'how to measure' guide, for reference, Noddy wears the 30cm. 

"In contrast to previous models, Monsoon's collar seams are vertical, allowing the collar to be taped so that it is fully waterproof.In addition, there is a rain collar made of waterproof tricot around the edge of the collar, preventing water from going inside the coat along the dog's neck.The comfortably soft collar can be tightened up around the dog's neck to protect the chest & neck area." - Hurtta Online UK

I liked the idea of the high neck coverage this coat provides but I was unsure how it would look on Noddy as he's so small. The design and fit once again are brilliant and there are so many adjustment points on this coat, including the collar, getting the perfect fit is really easy. Not only is the neck adjustable but the belly/waist and even the back length are very adjustable too. I've not yet seen another coat that provides such great coverage and nice fit, I keep saying it but I really am in love with the Monsoon coat! 

"The large, attractive reflective prints on the coat's rear hem and the 3M reflector piping on the back improve safety and visibility in the dark. The excellent sizing of the Monsoon coat guarantees a good fit for most breeds. The wide belly flap keeps the coat in place, ensuring that it stays on without restricting the dog's movement, even during boisterous play. The flap covers the dog's belly and efficiently protects it from mud and sand. Monsoon is made of an elastic and silent fabric, so it is comfortable to use and quick to put on." - Hurtta Online UK

The reflectors on this coat really are so bright, the main colour is quite bright in itself but even in daylight the reflective pattern shines. In the dark, when light is shone on the coat it really lights up which is a great safety feature especially at this time of year if you're like us and have very dark walks with little to no street lighting. For a light waterproof coat, it is not at all rustly. It's quiet, soft and comfortable and if you follow Noddy's instagram you'll see him flying around with it on it's not restrictive at all, he's totally happy wearing it. The high neck means it could be slightly awkward to walk your dog on a collar however it is do-able the collar would just be higher up the neck more behind the ears. We prefer to walk on a harness anyway and there is a handy little hole where you can attach your lead, it's well concealed though to keep up with the waterproof properties. The only downside is that this coat is so nice, you won't want to get it mucky 😅

The Monsoon is a lightweight raincoat, in very cold weather or for dogs prone to a chill you could pair it up with the Hurtta bodywarmer or the new razzle dazzle midlayer. Although we've not tested it out in the elements, Noddy has tried on the Hurtta Expedition Parka which is very similar in looks to the Monsoon but it's thicker with a soft fleecey thermal lining if you're after more warmth. The fit and adjustability was exactly the same in both coats and the parka felt so snug and cosy on Noddy, it's another really lovely jacket. 

These products are all available at Podgy Paws and/or their sister business, Hurtta Online UK. The gorgeous Buckthorn colour that Noddy wears is actually exclusive in the UK to Hurtta Online UK so if you love it, I'll drop a link to the website below.
