Will a water-resistant jacket be protective enough?
Water-resistant pieces will repel light moisture for a short duration of time. Consider how long you and your canine companion will be out in the elements, and how much moisture there will be. For short walks in light rain, misty morning hikes, or romps in dry snow, water-resistant jackets will keep your dog cozy.
When should I choose waterproof?
Waterproof pieces are designed to keep more moisture out for long periods of time. For heavy rain, longer hikes with steady rain, or treks through wet snow, waterproof jackets can help extend adventures.
Keep in mind that jackets will only protect where they cover, so if your tail-wagging friend loves to puddle jump, you may need some clean-up post adventure. Consider the Dirtbag™ Dog Drying Towel for a quick way to dry off while containing dirt and grime.
