I have a 55 lb American Staffordshire Terrier, otherwise known as a pitbull. Anyone familiar with this breed knows that they have very little body fat and cannot stay warm in the winter because they have a very flat thin coat. After doing much reading in many different places, I decided on the ruffwear powder Hound dog jacket, as this is waterproof on the back and was reported to hold up well to abuse and the dog trying to rub against things to remove the jacket. I very recently bought a second ruffwear powder Hound jacket for this dog so I could always have one clean, because he rolls around and gets pretty stinky , he is solely an outdoor dog. Immediately after putting the first jacket on him and sipping it,

I wanted to give this product sometime to see how it holds up before I wrote a review and I could not be more pleased! This was purchased for my terrier mix (he looks just like Benji) who has no undercoat and zero body fat. My vet described him as an "athlete."He goes hiking with me every weekend and even though he is in constant motion running up and down mountains and back and forth on the trials, he still gets cold. I did a ton of research on performance coasts, and I am super-pleased with this one. The legs/arms in the front are a nice touch and boy does it keep him warm! We hiked in 20 degree weather this weekend and he stayed toasty the whole time.

Great jacket! We had an older down Ruffwear jacket for our dog with larger leg openings and he somehow always managed to get two legs out the one hole multiple times on any outing... and always when we weren’t looking too. So we grabbed this jacket instead and had no leg hole issues at all! It fits our guy perfectly in the chest and a good length. It’s also cut in on the bottom so we have no bathroom issues. The fabric on the underside stood up great to our ruff and tumble guy who goes bounding off into the woods and through brush at full speed. I was honestly expecting to see a pull in the fabric somewhere, but it looked like I just pulled it out of the package! It’s also easy to put on since the whole side unzips.

Our Dal is 65lbs with a deep chest and rib cage, so we got the large, which is a bit loose in the leg openings, and a bit loose at the back. The chest and collar areas fit her perfectly, so I am glad we went a size larger than the chart recommends. The loose leg openings are actually a good thing...no chafing or catching as she runs. A wonderful garment for our very cold winter weather. We live near Yellowstone and have many below zero blustery days to take her on long walks with us. The red is cheerful, and has a bright reflective edging. The dark grey below will help cover the mud that comes up this time of the year (March=Mud Season). Pricey, but worth it, as she cannot get it off despite trying against the pine trees,

This jacket is great in theory, however, the neck and arm holes are far too small for my dog. I ordered the size it suggested (x-small), but it just didn't fit her body shape. It was so tight I felt like she couldn't breath...she had a hard time moving in it as well. I wish it had fit, because she doesn't have very much fur and gets very cold outside. I bought the Ruffwear Quinzee jacket instead. Both my 80lb lab and 20lb terrier love it. It's far more adjustable, and it allows greater freedom of movement. The Qinzee doesn't cover as much of the arms and belly, but at least it fits her.I love Ruffwear and have so much gear, I should probably should buy stock in the company.

I have searched and searched for something, anything that would fit my big guy, and finally found something that fits length, width and girth! Most things in his size would fit in some areas but would be tight and restrictive in other areas, especially under the arms or around the neck. This fits Warhol perfectly!He’s a Chesapeake bay retriever, lab and pitbull mix who is: 107-110lbs, 4 ft tall when he stands on his back 2 legs so finding anything was always a waste of money! We bought the XL. Nape of neck to tail, he measures 26”, girth of chest area he measures 37”.The stretchy material helps to give comfortable stretch if needed. Not sure how waterproof or warm it will be just yet but very satisfied w the fit and quality,

Pros- Well made- Reflective Border- Side zipper makes it easy to put on/take off- Lightweight & stylishCons- The underside is made of a thinner material. I wish the nanopuff went all the way around.OverallThe size small jacket fits my 38lb beagle/border collie mix perfectly. It seems to be well insulated and give her no discomfort. I like that it resembles the nanopuff jackets from Patagonia. That being said...it also matches the price. However, I see it as an investment in a good jacket and I would definitely purchase this item again if necessary. Finally, it’s important to mention the excellent customer service this company has.

I just received the Powder Hound on the day the MN temperature hits it lowest "high" of the season. I love it, and my dog loves it! It fits him perfectly and the zipper on the side provides much better, more complete closure than either Velcro or snaps on the belly or back. The zipper is backed by an insulated inner-fly so fur doesn't get caught and accidentally pulled when zipping the Powder Hound closed.The Powder Hound fits my dog very well, too. I was concerned it would be too tight in the chest because my dog is a Jack Russell/Beagle mix with a thin belly and a barrel chest. It's about 2 inches too long for him,

My small dog HATES clothes—even when it’s freezing outside—but he LOVES this jacket! I think it probably has to do with the placement of the zipper. Instead of running under his belly, the zipper runs along the side of the jacket. This took a little bit of getting used to (on my part) because it’s not as easy to put on, but he clearly finds it more comfortable. And now that I have the hang of it, it’s a lot easier to put on than his old jacket. It also keeps him much warmer than his previous puffy jacket. Not sure what the science behind it is, but they have clearly found a material that’s lightweight and also keeps animals very warm. I would highly recommend this jacket for any dog!

Size XXsmall is a perfect for our 11 pound Jack Russell. 'Bought the Cloud Chaser in an Xsmall to go over it. They keep her very warm and dry out on the the snow covered trail. She follows us on our snowshoes and is about 12 to 24 inches below the top of the snow level and this is the first combo of warm, waterproof doggy wear that keeps her really warm. The leg sleeves and the covered underbelly really does the trick. Our winter temperature in Sun Valley, Idaho are usually below freezing and often in the teens. Ruffwear is made so well it will surely last her lifetime. And we hope that is a very long life time. We love our little JACQUI O'Russell.

We got the jacket in green, size XS for an 8 kg rather short-pawed dog named Felix. It fits perfectly, rather snug but not too tight. The materials are very soft and nice to touch, it's stretchy and feels comfortable and warm.Felix naturally dislikes (he dislikes most things) but tolerates it, which is much better than could be hoped for. After the first 2 mins, it looks like he forgets he is wearing the jacket altogether.Before this jacket, we tried another one more rigid and with buckles, our dog refused to move in it at all. He would just sit in silent protest, until you take it off. The stretchy material and zipper are a major win for sure.

After a cold/windy snowshoe without any outerwear for my dog, I decided to invest in a winter coat for him after I saw him shivering and clearly cold. We’ve only taken it out for 2 trips so far, but my dog seems to love it and has had no issues. He is 27 inches around his chest, so borderline small. His Ruffwear Front Range harness is a small that fits well, but the small in this, as you can see in the photo, was very snug—he wouldn’t move after I put it on him! I contacted the company to see if I’d be able to exchange the product in time for a trip we had coming in a few days and they made the process extremely easy.

My dog already has had the cloud chaser and climate changer jackets for a few years, but they aren't quite enough when it comes to a Maine winter. He's a beagle with a short coat, so we really needed something more insulating for winter romps. The fit on this jacket is consistent with that of the cloud chaser. Only the bottom half of the coat stretches. Unfortunately, and this is the reason for the 4 stars, the stretchy fabric doesn't seem to offer that much insulation. However, ruffwear does make some really durable stuff so I'm going to keep this and give it a try.

I have a 9 year old husky/golden retriever mix, and sometimes I would catch him shivering in the winter even with all his fur. I've been a fan off ruffwear products for awhile, and I picked up this jacket on a whim to try it out. He LOVES it. It does a great job of keeping him cozy without restricting movement. It's also easy to put on him and stays pretty clean -- we used it all fall and winter and it still looks brand new. I never noticed any rubbing, but I did measure him properly before buying.

I've purchased several other jackets in the past, however this is by far the best one so far. My 1year old Golden Retriever is just about 70lb and measured about 30 inches around her chest, so I purchased a Medium. With other jackets I've had issues with the length, but this covers her whole back which is great for playing in the snow. I can't speak on durability, as I have only put it on a couple of times, however my dog loves to roll around in the snow and there are no sings of wear on jacket.
