Love this coat!
Wow, I love this coat! It is constructed much like a person coat. You re able to adjust the legs with elastic which helps keep rain and wind out. The zipper is a great way to put this on and off and the off set placement of it keeps stress off it so it feels secure. There is no fleece so I don't know why that's in the description, quilted nylon on the outside and nylon on the inside. My fur baby stays nice and warn. This was delivered as promised. I have a male American Cocker Spaniel, according to the chart I should have ordered a M. Being an experienced dog Mom I ordered a size up L and was glad I did. Fit perfectly at neck and chest. Little long length wise but was not in the way of "business". When I take this coat off baby feels nice and warm. There is no stretch so keep that in mind for size. Happy with this purchase and will update this review after I wash it and use it for the rest of this winter season. Looks cute too.

Too Cute!
This is adorable. I have a mini australian shepherd/toy poodle mix: 15 pounds, 16 inches tall to top of back, top-length 19, chest 17, neck 12; so tall, long, and slender. I bought a medium and it fits pretty well. It's not a perfect fit; it's a little short in the legs; but about right in top-length and chest. I don't mind it being a little short in the legs because he's very active and I would rather it be short and not have to worry about stepping on the legs while he's running. It keeps him warm, and pretty dry on top - water does bounce up and he gets wet underneath, but that's pretty much unavoidable if he's going to have a opening to tinkle. I love the harness opening too (some of his rain gear doesn't have that). There's no reflective tape on it anywhere, so since I take him out at night, I do put a reflective vest over the coat. Overall, I think it's well-made, super cute, and will keep him cozy on chilly nights.

Definitely runs small..size up one size!!
We haven’t used this yet, but it seems like the North Face or Columbia of dog jackets. It looks well made and warm and we are excited to get our dog out in the snow with it.That being said, there are some design flaws. 1) There is a weird Velcro flap at the top. It looks like there should be a slit for the leash, but there isn’t a slit. Just the Velcro flap 2) We also had to return the medium because it ran very small. We did measure our dog before ordering it and it should have been the right size. But our 23 lb American cocker (he’s a perfect weight) needs a large in this jacket. Makes me think big 70-100 lb dogs will not fit in the XL. 3) description says it is fleece lined. Although it is a warm lining, it is not fleece. 4) not sure whether to dry in the dryer. The removable tags say don’t tumble dry. The fabric tag on the suit says ok to tumble dry. The Amazon description says hand wash only while the fabric tag says ok to machine wash. Lots of discrepancies.

Love the Coat. Check the size.
I have a 6 month old 7.9lb Chorkie puppy who has a neck of 9 inches a chest of 14 inches and a back length of 14 inches from base of neck to base of tail. I did measure as instructed on the Helios chart. I ordered the size small although the chest seemed way too big because of one review and my dogs length. The small was so wide that she fell when she walked; although the length was correct. I have since ordered an XS. It is true that it is a little short; and her tush sticks out a little more than I would like.There is no problem getting her into it because of the way the whole suit opens with the zipper. I would choose this suit according to chest size of there is only a two inch difference in length. The overall fit of the XS is much better than the small for a dog her size. I was going to keep the Small for my other dog who has an 11 inch neck a 16 inch chest and a 14 inch length. The XS was too small for this dog and the small was a little big through the chest and legs but it fit him better than the XS. Even though the zipper closure is made poorly and takes time to get on the dog; the quality of the material rivals that of my Burton ski jacket. I have no doubt that this suit will keep my dogs nice and toasty this winter. Well at least one of them. I returned the small although it would have worked less than perfectly because my 11lb dog is no puppy! He has spent seven winters without such a suit and is simply not having it. He refuses to move when i put it on him . I guess its piled on sweaters for him. The chorkie on the other hand is young and learning everything right now. To her this is just another thing to get used to. I do hope that the manufacturer takes this review into consideration because it is an excellent product that needs a few minor adjustments.

Horrible, cheap plastic zipper that does not hold and breaks
I gave this item one star because of its zipper. It has a horrible, cheap plastic zipper that broke at the first time trying to zip the suit on. This item was Delivered Feb 21, 2017. Today is Monday, March 13, 2017. Last week was the first time using the suit when it snowed and the zipper broke.This is the second one order and have to return because of the same issue; the other one only lasted one week. This one only lasted three uses. When i clamped the zipper part it worked a bit but now its not. We are getting a Northeaster tomorrow 03/14/17 and the zipper is broken and my poor basset hound now does not have a suit to wear to go outside to the bathroom. I love the suit, and so does he as it keeps him warm, but the zipper is the cheapest thing ever. For such an expensive suit, it should have a better zipper, perhaps metal. I am going to have to return this one too; another issue is that there's no way of contacting the co to complain through Amazon. I am going to have to search them and them call them but that's not going to help me for the next couple of days.

Coat is great, but the zipper is not.
We purchased this item a little over one month ago and already there is a stress tear in a section of the zipper, near the stitching, causing a huge opening. The coat is warm, it is light, and it stretches nicely where it’s supposed to. However, the quality of the zipper leaves a lot to be desired. The stitching is great. And the fit is great on my dog. My dog does not wear this every day. I’m currently waiting to hear from the company on how we can fix this. If PetLife reads this, please contact me. It’s been almost one week since I emailed them.

Pidan una talla más grande, no confíen en la tabla.
Un poco ajustado para mi Xolo aunque espero que con el movimiento se vaya aflojando un poco.El material se ve de buena calidad y cuenta con varias capas, se ve que si mantendrá calientito a mi perro durante el invierno.

Phenomenal Jacket
I would say that this may well be the best dog jacket money can buy. It's light and breathable but wraps my pug up tight and keeps him warm. It's very stylish and fits very well. My dog looks like an astronaut. The price is a bit on the steep side but certainly the quality is top-notch. It's easy to wash too, and dries almost immediately. Highly recommend.

Parfait
Super sympa, beau, jolie couleur. Envoi bien protégé et dans les temps. Mon petit shyh tzu ( poils longs) sera à l'abri pour l'hiver.

Very happy with these jackets
Finally something that fits my dogs! I bought the S blue and XS orange jackets for my min pins and I couldn't be happier with them. The jackets fit like a glove and they are nice and warm. They are easy to put on and off and the dogs seem very comfortable walking around in them. The pull straps are handy to tighten the legs and depending on how much room you have left, the harness can be worn under or over the jacket. They look very stylish. They also arrived well before expected which was a nice surprise.

Delicata e piccolissima
Le taglie sono piccolissime e non si attengono alle misure indicate. Ho preso una L al mio cane dopo averlo misurato attentamente ed è talmente piccola che sono certo che non gli andrebbe nemmeno la XL. Non riesco nemmeno lontanamente a chiudere la cerniera.Il materiale è inoltre chiaramente molto delicato e poco resistente a tagli ed abrasioni.Sconsiglio vivamente l'acquisto.
