Is the Furness™ Jacket warmer than the Powder Hound™ Jacket?
While both jackets offer the same weight of insulation, the Furness has more loft – more room for the insulation to puff up – which traps more of your pup’s body heat. The Furness offers extended coverage over the hind hips and neck. Cinch points on the neck and waist, plus rear leg loops, keep your dog’s warmth in and the elements out.
When should I use the Furness™ Jacket vs. the Powder Hound™ Jacket?
Consider how your dog handles cold and snow. For dogs with a tendency to get cold quickly, the ultrawarm Furness can be a game changer in prolonging cold-weather adventures. Its extended coverage also works well for dogs with longer fur that is prone to snowball buildup.
We recommend dogs wear the Furness when venturing out in more extreme weather conditions or exploring for long stretches of time in very cold temperatures. This jacket also makes a great insulating piece when dogs may not be as active outdoors, like lounging at a chilly campsite. For higher energy cold weather activities, like runs, the Powder Hound will flex with your pup and offer a more performance fit.
Is one more water-resistant than the other?
While neither jacket is waterproof, both jackets have the same durable water-repellent finish (DWR) providing protection in dry snow and light precipitation. Take a deeper dive on waterproof versus water-resistant in this blog article.
