Kerbl Raincoat Manchester, L, Black

This is easy to get on - the fact it zips over the back makes it very simple to get on, and even easier to get off. The zip design also makes it easy to ensure you don't catch the fur - except when the fur is black! I have two dogs - the white one it's easy to zip, the black dog, I've caught her fur on occasions because I can't see which is fur at times. The orange one would solve this - but they don't seem to be available.The legs aren't long enough. My dogs have 'feathers' on their legs that are mud magnets - and the legs of this coat only go to their knees, so the dogs get muddy even when wearing it. Kind of defeats the object. Also, when out for a walk, my little dog somehow managed to pull her legs out of the coats - several times - which was a little dangerous at times as she got her leg twisted at an angle inside.It is relatively waterproof though - so if looking for a suit to keep the dog dry, this is OK. If looking for a suit to stop the dog getting filthy on a muddy walk - it's not good for long haired double-coated dogs with long fur down the legs.Also not a great fit for dogs with a spitz tail that curls up and over their body - I have to fasten the coat back at the end, to allow the tail to still curl.That said - this would be great for a short coated dog with a 'normal' tail.

I asked to send this back as after a week of use the pull cord at the neck became detached. As I have no printer since my house was flooded I decided that it would be easier to repair it myself than to try and send it back (I live in the fells well away from habitation). Today I finally reattached the cord by stitching through the suit and the cord (I also strengthened the other end just in case). Overall this suit has been a great benefit, it is very wet here much of the time and this stops my Cockapoo puppy getting soaked. She used to shiver once wet as she has no undercoat but with the raincoat on she is fine out for longer wet walks. I added a fleece underneath when it was snowy and she was warm and happy to be out. It is a bit big (too long in the back) but the smaller size would have been too small and at least it will last her longer. Once the cords are adjusted at neck and waist it stays in place. It would be improved with longer legs as in the snow she still got horrendous snow balls on her legs which took ages to remove. One problem is that the drawcord for the neck is pulled under the body so that if it needs to be snug on a dog with small neck the cord is left dangling down and gets caught by a paw. I try and tuck it in but it works its way out as she runs. Another improvement would be to have a catch of some sort at the back of the neck to hold in place while putting back legs in and zipping up a wriggly pup. The neck cover works to do, by popping it on after getting the front legs in, this but is not secure and is cumbersome. After repairing it this morning we have been out in torrential rain for 45mins and puppy's body is just damp and only head and legs soggy.

Super little coat omce I got the right size. Took a while to be able to put it on efficiantly, but once I got the hang it was fine.

Purchased the same size (L) as before but this new one is bigger. The legs are much "baggier" and longer this time, causing them to slip down to my dogs feet. He tended to trip up a bit, so to solve this problem we use a harness which pulls in the coat around his chest and keeps the leg material in place, preventing it slipping down.

I bought this for my pooch to keep dry and clean in the winter. The jacket was easy to put on, however once out the pooch managed to step out the front legs, maybe I should have got a smaller size but it is easy to roll up the legs at the front then no issue. When it rained heavy kept him mostly dry except for the drawstring that's around the body, this part of the jacket seems to let the water in.Once back from a walk easy to take off rinse the mud off the jacket and hung up to dry for the next time to go out. Saved so much time as I usually have to wash the pooch belly and legs to remove the muck, only the paws need cleaned and saves on towel usage for drying.

Unfortunately this arrived missing the detachable collar so we ended up sending it back. It wasn't the best fit either but would have been fine for what we needed it for however, without the collar too much of his neck/back was exposed so he'd just have ended up too wet.

This coat would be good if the elastic in the cuffs were looser. I had to cut the cuffs off to use on my dog.

Very good product but my advice would be to size up
