Great coat for in between weather

This is the coat I almost didn’t buy. The previous model rubbed my dog’s arms raw and I didn’t want to repeat the experience. However, this redesigned model fits much better with no chafing at all and is a great coat for in between weather.Make sure that you get the right size - the sleeves should not extend below the elbows. Leo here is 70lbs and wears a size medium, that same size also fits my 52lbs girl. I compared dog to garment measurements to make sure it fits and sized down for Leo.Our…

Pros
  • Reflective detailing enhances visibility at night
Cons
  • The jacket can be difficult to pack or store

They are not realistic about their measurements and sizing

I’ve bought like two items from this shop. MEASURING MY DOG BEFORE PURCHASE— and every single time, the item is either too big or too small— although I measure my dog before purchasing anything. I give up on ruffwear. Only purchase If you want to go through the constant struggle and push and pull of finding a piece that will fit your dog. Yet another item to be returned and mg dog is freezing. I’m over it

Pros
  • Purchased many of these as gifts for friends dogs and everyone loves them including the dogs
Cons
  • The insulation can shift inside the jacket

Rubs Raw and not returnable?

I have always had pretty good results with Ruffwear products. I had read reviews saying this jacket rubbed on dogs legs and left raw marks. I was skeptical about buying the jacket and went back and forth before deciding to try it. I loved the color, fit, material, lightweight nature and everything else about this jacket. However, the sleeves did in fact rub raw spots on my dogs front legs after two uses. It may just be the type of dog he is, but please know that this is actually happening on…

Pros
  • This is the best dog coat ever
Cons
  • It does not come in other colors

Worth the price in my review

Size med fits my 50 lb lab mix well. Some pilling of fabric around the leg part, but she’s also used it for 3 yrs. Its worth the price, well-made.

Pros
  • Easy to fold and store when not in use
Cons
  • The jacket may make it difficult for dogs to move freely

Great versatile dog jacket.

Great jacket. Snug, but not to snug. It is like a performance sweater for dogs. Zipping can be tricky at first, but gets easier after a few tries. Didn’t get to really test the water proof-ness against rain, but it shed the snowfall without any issue. I would recommend this jacket.

Pros
  • Fleece lined: Warm, comfortable fleece lining helps maintain core body heat; Full-length zipper for a snug, warm fit
Cons
  • The jacket may not be suitable for dogs with short hair

Best fitting, warm waterproof jacket!

We love the Ruffwear cloud chaser jacket for our Boston terrier, fits him nice, keeps him warm & dry. Also , really like that harness fits nicely over jacket.

Pros
  • Pet Supplies
Cons
  • The jacket can attract dirt and debris easily

Easy to modify - my new review

Had to modify the underside to allow my dog to urinate. Easy fix. He is a bit between sizes. Disappointed that it did not have a hole to thread leash through - will make that modification next.

Pros
  • Helps to prevent dogs from getting sick due to exposure to the elements
Cons
  • The jacket may not provide enough coverage for dogs in wet or snowy conditions

Fits my Golden Retriever perfectly

Fits my golden retriever perfectly! She didn't like wearing it at first but now loves it. Keeps her dry in the rain and snow and keeps snowballs from collecting in her armpits. We took a ride to the beach recently and put it on her to keep the sand and salt water spray out of her fur. Worked great!

Pros
  • Apparel & Accessories
Cons
  • The hood can interfere with a dog's vision

Misguided Sizing Chart

After precisely measuring my dog, I bought the size that was compatible with the sizing chart. The jacket did not fit my dog at all. I should have listened to the other Revain reviews to get the larger size

Pros
  • Small for 25 lbs schnauzer fit perfect
Cons
  • The insulation can cause overheating in some dogs

Not for active dogs!

So the cloud chaser fit perfectly, I have a 60lb doberman. But VERY UNFORTUNATELY after 2 days of running around in the coat both foreleg had deep sores cut into them from abrasions caused by sleeves to legs. I Would recommend the coat as lounging jacket, but no activity. Very very disappointed! And now my dog is suffering.

Pros
  • Dogs
Cons
  • The material may be too hot for some dogs

Nice with a few flaws.

Nice materials and finish, light and breathable, but it's supposed to be a colder weather item which it falls a little short on. The built in loop for Ruffwear Beacon thoughtless placed. If your dog pulls it will pop it off the loop, although I'm not sure if it is more of a design flaw of the Jacket or the Beacon light.A quality item but a bit pricey for what it is.

Pros
  • High-quality zippers and hardware
Cons
  • The jacket may cause chafing or rubbing on some dogs

Size up if your dog is on the larger size of the range

My dog measures 31" so I got the medium. Way too tight. It took two of us to get it on and then our dog didn't want to move. Looks really nice on, but I'm afraid he will be uncomfortable. I will try the large and update my review

Pros
  • Stylish obsidian black color
Cons
  • The jacket may not fit well on dogs with a deep chest

Fits my whippet pup great!

My pup had a cut that she kept licking. I purchased this coat to prevent that due to it being water proof! It did the trick. She is all healed and also loves wearing the jacket! Whippet is about 33lbs and size small worked perfect.

Pros
  • Doggie and owners love it!
Cons
  • It may be difficult to put on and take off

Great quality, but not quite what I was looking for.

This is an effectively water resistant coat, but I just wish it had a bit more fleece for warmth. The sockeye red is a great color if you want your dog to be visible. Washes up well. I’m really looking for a winter waterproof warm coat, so this doesn’t quite fit the bill. The product itself is good quality. Durable materials, easy zipper, well stitched, seems a bit smaller than the Fleece Jacket I have in the same size. My dog has no undercoat, so I will keep looking for a warmer alternative.

Pros
  • High collar protects the dog's neck from the cold
Cons
  • The jacket may not be suitable for dogs with sensitive skin
