Our product from Podgy Paws in April had us ready for April showers however we've been very lucky weather wise and haven't actually had much rain since this item arrived. I'm talking about the Fjord raincoat by Non-Stop Dogwear.
This lightweight raincoat comes in 5 colours which all look really smart, there's something for everyone. Noddy went for the blue colour in size 30. Although we've not used the coat in wet weather quite as much as I'd have liked before reviewing, I'll share the overall product details and what I love about it so far. I'll then add to the blog as we use it more, we tend to have fairly wet Summers here in the Lakes so I'm sure it'll have lots more use soon.
The first thing I love about the Fjord raincoat is that it's so lightweight, making it suitable for most breeds including those who are fluffier and don't need the extra warmth. For those who do like to be cosy, a base layer or fleece could be worn underneath the coat. This coat is easy to put on and is highly adjustable. Very similar to the Hurtta Monsoon coat in fact, it provides good chest, belly and leg coverage and as well as the adjustable belly strap, it's also adjustable around the neck line and at the base of the tail to give the perfect fit. It also has really great elasticated leg straps. Also similar to the Monsoon, there is a high neck on the coat which gives protection right up to the dog's ears.
Another thing I really like about this coat is that it comes in a little pouch like a pac-a-mac so you can easily take it on all your travels, just in case. Although incredibly thing and lightweight, the Fjord is waterproof and windproof and provides excellent breathability. The coat has a small opening to attach a lead to a harness, if the dog was wearing one underneath which Noddy often is. It also has reflective detailing for safety on those low light adventures.
Noddy is totally happy in this coat and seems perfectly comfortable in it. Movement is minimally restricted, he can walk and run with ease and it's easy to put on and take off.
From what I've seen so far, this coat is up there with the other top brands. The quality, style, fit and coverage is great and I genuinely can't fault it at all. Although it's held up fine in lighter rain, I look forward to continuing to test it when the wilder weather returns. I'm confident it will not disappoint.
