JulesP Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Those Hurtta coats look brilliant, especially the chest piece and no belly strap, but are they rather hot? You can get ones with no fill, which I think most of us have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Yea I picked this Hurtta one specifically because it has no insulation, it's only the outta water proof and wind proof stuff. This one is the "Rain Coat" the one that looks the same with insulation is the "Winter Coat". They also have newer designs called something else too, but not sure if they have hit the Australian market yet.

LisaCC Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 This is the new design... Ooooooh Hurtta Torrent Coat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 We have the rain coat ones. They don't have any lining. They are very thin & exceptionally light. So much so I was very skeptical that they would keep the dog's dry. But they do. Also love the leg elastic's as they keep the coat in place. Had other coats & for some reason Stella's would end up slipping to one side. Highly recommended them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Love the look of the new ones lisaCC. Might have to upgrade LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Ahhh, don't show me a new version #%!#%$##! :D But as others say they are light and breath so heating up in not an issue :-) I am very conscious of not overheating Ronin when we walk, which is why I chose the Hurtta one. They are also really easy to put on as this was something that concerned me as Ronin is not into me putting 'clothes' on him :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaCC Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 "Wants" not "Needs" Maybe by next winter they'll be in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly recommended them :) Yes the sliding to one side is a pain in the backside, as I have to continually stop and readjust. I love the look of the new one. Do we have a supplier in Aust or do you have to order from O/S? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I actually got mine on Ebay from OS. Best $$$ too. Don't know about the new ones but I will certainly be looking into them. They look even better than ours. Loving what looks like more cover over the neck area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Pet's Providore have Hurtta products, but not the newest Torrent Coat. I don't know anyone that has them yet here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 No I was hunting for the new coats and couldn't find them locally . I do need one for Kenz to walk in the rain. Lira has to wait until she grows into one first :laugh:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Tempeh would rather her bladder exploded than go outside when the acid is falling from the sky. I do have a couple of raincoats for her but lets just say they are in fairly pristine condition still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareyJ Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I cant get dempsey outside to go to the toilet but he doesn't care if we're going to the park. It was dreadful weather & we both got soaked but he loved every moment. It was so wet when I got home I added shampoo, lathered him up then stood him back out on the deck & let the rain wash it off! Poor dempsey wasn't so excited by that but it got the mud off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
