Great coat, cute fit but need's improvement. Make a male and female fit. Poor little Lola's belly get's no coverage because the coat is cut for a male dog. Make gender options. Also would love to see a really tough, zip together shell, 3 in 1 that this could zip into. She's shredded the back running under barbed wire fences.

Valentino is a very active very muscular 4 year old Dalmatian. Because he is so "buff" and has so little fur, he gets cold easily.

Overall, great product!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
My new Climate Changers are awesome!
My dachshund used to shiver all the time during the winter, because he was cold. Now, he stays nice and toasty. My only complaint is that his front legs got caught in the arm holes when he snuggled up, but I just sewed a permanent cuff in the sleeves, and he's great now! (11 lbs Dachshund, size XXS).
As for the Airedale, in order to get a size big enough for his chest, the jacket is a little long down towards his tail, but once again, a little sewing fixed that. (45 lbs Airedale, size M).
Overall, I'm VERY happy with my jackets. They look GREAT and keep my dogs warm!

Kansas winters can be cold and dry- the climat changer is perfect for that! With my nearly naked greyhounds, I like the fact these come down lower on their belly. Since every time they ask for input, my comment is PINK!, I jumped on these Berry color climate changers the moment they came out. Ours did pill a bit after washing, but since we washed them three times the first two weeks we had them, normal wear probably wouldn't do that.

best dog sweater we have found
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
We have several of these marvy, thick well made sweaters. Love the new berry color but have them all. the black does show dust, dirt and dog hair but is so stylish it is worth it. Ours get worn often (daily in winter) and are washed about 3 times a month. I use a sport wash product and the fleece stays full and soft for scores of washings. I have noticed that when washed in regular laundry detergent, the fleece does not stay as plush or as thick. try sport wash or tech wash for best results. The cut is similar to the cloud chaser but the fit is a bit looser and more forgiving with no armpit chafing either. If you are between sizes on Cloud Chaser fit, the smaller size might fit fine in Climate Changer. medium is a relaxed fit on our 50 lb GSPs and athletic fit on 62 lb Vizslas. Plump 70 lb dalmation wears large but could squeeze into medium in a pinch

The Climate Changer jacket is well made and very easy to put on. My dog has never worn a jacket before, but was comfortable in this jacket right away. My only request would be that jacket size would also indicate length along the back. We ordered based on chest measurement. The jacket fits well around her chest, but is a little short for our dog. Had we known the length in advance, we probably would have chosen the next size up.

I have a doberman with thin hair for the Wisconsin winters. I have bought numerous "pet store" brand fleeces all of which were thin and the velcro didn't last but 1 season. This product has a lot more weight to the fleece and the zipper is good quality. Easy on/easy off even with the zipper which I was hesitant about. Great fit on my dog. My dog loves it. Seems like a good quality item that should hopefully last.

I bought the Climate Chaser a couple of weeks ago at REI. Since I bought it, it the temp has been around 20˚-30˚. I'm so glad I did. My dog has short hair & she doesn't maintain heat well. So, after a visit to my local REI I picked it up. I'm not worried at all about if she's cold. Take today for instance the temperature outside is 31˚ but under her coat she's all warm & toasty. I would highly recommend this product to any owner that has a short hair breed.

It's so hard finding a sweater to fit my gsp. Over the head sweaters were too hard to get on and off and the velcro closure ones would always fall off when Brittany would run through the snow. She hasn't had a chance to really wear it yet but I believe that this one will definitely do the trick! I love the zipper closure, makes it easy to get on and off and stays on her when she is running around.

When the Climate Changers arrived I was so excited and so were the dogs. They were soft and warm and looked great! But after just a couple of weeks of regular use I noticed the seams starting to fall apart. Now, less than one full season later, they are full of rips and holes and pretty much useless. I've purchased a fair amount of dog coats and often purchase clothing for my horses. Though I'm generally a big fan of the company these really disappointed. Unfortunately, I won't be purchasing dog coats through Ruff Wear any more.

All of my dogs have this jacket in Lichen Green. (Black shows fuzz more) They are all wearing the XXS. Their measurements are 12" L X 13" Chest, 13" L X 13" Chest and 13" Long X 16.5 Chest. The fabric and edges are slightly stretchy but haven't noticed any giving out or excessive stretching while moving. Form fitting but haven't seen any rubbing off of the fur/hair. 4 stars because it is way too expensive. Alas, I can't find anything else that fits quite as nicely on my hairless boy. If it isn't tight enough to prevent hanging, he will pee on it.

altho i'm not accustomed to wearing outfits, i find this to be a jacket that not only makes me look dapper, it keeps me warm on really cold days ! however, i prefer to run in the buff, and i don't like wearing it in front of girls, but i admit it helps keep me from being cold in the maine winters! (what do i know, i'm from louisiana !) altho the sizing is drastic from xs to small for my little jack russell sister, it's awesome for my perfect 50 lb muscley body ! my bull terrier x sister hates it, she prefers to weather the elements naked, but i have to say she looks really cute in it, even tho i never really consider her "cute" the only thing we would change is to put a water-resistent chest/belly protector fabric on it, it doesn't hold well in the wet that we invariably get into ! oh, and add a couple more sizes for the inbetween kids) like we always say "we wear ruffwear, or nothing at all "!!!

Ashley loves this jacket. I have never been one to dress up my dog, but Ashley is not a cold weather dog. Because she is part boxer she has short hair, but the energy of a black lab.

This jacket allows her to just hang out when I am outside shoveling or when we go for a walk. It fits incredibly well and is extremely durable. This is a wonderful product. Ashley's other jacket is the soft shell. She also has the booties for running in the snow.

when I was a kid my parents dressed me like a dork. I swore that if I ever had kids that they would not suffer as I did. That goes for the mutt as well. The climate changer fleece fits the little guy perfectly and keeps him warm and happy...but best of all, he's the best dressed K9 on the block..super cool!

If there is anything negative about it I'd say it could be a bit longer - our dog is narrow-chested for a Weim and the jacket is about 2 inches short of the point of her croup. Overall a great product!

Before buying the climate changer, I read all the reviews.. good and bad, and decided to purchase, the climate changer seemed the best product on the market.
The Good: Awsome looking, construction looks top notch, fits our doberman perfect with a little room to grow since he was 13mo. at the time of puchase.
The Bad: The arm holes rubbed him raw, and not the top/armpit seam but the piping seam at the end of the sleeve.
The Fix: Cut off the piping seam, no more issues, he loves it!! and I still love the product as well. 4 out of 5!!

Pretty Darn Good
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I have a short, little 40lb pit girl who does not like the cold. I ordered the small and it is really a great fit for her very broad chest. I bought this jacket because of it's coverage. My previous pit bull did not have this jacket and her armpits and belly would become red and rash-like after being in snow and/or cold. I also like how easy it is to get on, even with my excited bouncing girl, we have no issues. The downside is what I had read in reviews, the "arm" elastic does in fact have too much friction making bald/red spots on her front legs. I have cut off that frabric and removed the elastic and have had no issues since. A shame to have to slice up such a well made product, (and after paying this amount) but I still say it's the best coat I've ever come across. Also good for short walks in rain, (keeps dirt off belly and dog dry) and cilly camping nights in the tent. My girl just LOVES it! (and it looks sharp too)

There were no problems with the arms being to tight on either dogs and the midsection is a little to loose but my dogs are very lean so this is to be expected. The quaility of this product is excellent like all RW products I own and even though I bought this for the smaller female I tried it on both for this review. I could see were alot of "male" owners could have urination problems with it but mine had no problems since it was more snug on him.

Good quality but odd fit
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I have a 12 pound mutt with a 17 inch girth. I ordered the XS in both the Climate Changer and Cloud Chaser jackets. Both were ill-fitting in different places - the Climate Changer is a bit baggy in the front but perfect length underneath for "male parts", while the Cloud Chaser is scuba-suit form fitting and waaay too long underneath. I understand that the material is different, but why the change in lengths/cuts?
The Dean Machine is an odd shaped dog, (short sturdy legs with a lean stream-lined "runners" body), so maybe altering is the only way to get a perfect fit. The material is thick, with good quality seams - and the most decent looking winter wear for dogs I've seen. Like another reviewer stated, these jackets may be better suited for female dogs, and dogs with longer legs and torsos. The XXS may fit the compact purse dog, but for the irregular mutt, you may have to design your own gear.

Quality is great.. but..

not right for my dog. My Boston has a 16-17 inch girth, so I ordered the xxs per the sizing chart. The quality is obviously there, but it wouldn't fit around him. Not to say the sizing chart was wrong, but too small for my dog. Spent 4.95 on shipping (I think more companies should offer free shipping within the states since they make a lot of money from these products) and ordered the xs. Fit better (a little baggy), but waaaaaaay too long and not wearable as is. If you have a taller, shorter (he's actually quite long for a boston), narrow girthed dog, this may not fit. I just don't get how from xxs to xs there is such a significant change in length. I recommend it if it fits. No hikes in the cold for us anytime soon..

When the temps get down in the sub-freezing area we will find out what she really thinks of it.
I have noticed several people complaining of rips, so I wont leave her unattened while wearing the coat.

Hi, this is by far the best quality dog coat I have purchased for my pooch. The xs size fits my mini poodle (he is 18 lbs with a 21'' girth) like a glove. The polar fleece is stretchy so mobility is great. The zipper placement on the side is part of the well thought out design. Because this coat covers the chest, neck, and forelegs, it is ideal for winter trips to the Sierras.

Otherwise, she shivers so much, she has to sit in the car to warm up and misses land-training. Great job, Ruff Wear! (Wish there were human jackets like this!)

This is as nice or nicer than any jacket I own for me! the fleece is very thick and soft - even after several washings. (I recommend a sport wash product to keep the loft). Its easy to get on and off yet provides excellent coverage of the chest and underside - crucial for real warmth. My GSPs dogs adore this garment. CordyBrown age 14 will go and find it and try to roll herself into it. It's thick enough to wear in a light rain. Is roomy. Its cut along the same shape as the Cloud Chaser coat but with much more ease in the chest and body and seems a bit longer as a result.

Were making a trip to the snow and Rusty has a really thin coat. Although he weighs 95lbs he fitted well in the large, although we bought an XL first. He seemed comfortable in the coat as soon as we put it and it kept him beautifully warm. He wasn't so sure about the snow. One small thing - and it is most probably my dog's quirk - but he wouldn't lift his leg with the jacket on. He held in for about 20 hours, and we were getting real worried, but he was warm so I took it off and he rushed outside in relief.

Good Base Layer.
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
Great product. Lily is with me most of the time and occasionally needs to be left in the car, which was my primary reason for buying the jacket. As far as my application, the jacket as a standalone is more of a hindrance outside than a help because, like all fleece, it attracts burrs and gets wet very easily, especially with a low-rider dog. However, when used as a base layer with the Cloud Chaser over top, it adds an obvious level of protection. I would not use the Climate Changer if you and your pet are “off the trail” on a regular basis where there are branches, thorns and everything in between; instead I would use the Cloud Chaser. Then, if you need the extra warmth, the Climate Changer makes a great addition to the Cloud Chaser.

Great! Love it! Life Saver!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
Blaze is a short hair breed, and so when we took our four day backcountry hike in below freezing temperatures, she absolutely had to have something to keep her warm through the day. This rocked! We weren't hiking what I would call an established trail - It was a wilderness trail which was brutal on hikers and gear alike. This, combined with bark'n boots and the palisades pack worked perfectly. The jacket fits her extremely well - her girth is 31" and I bought her a medium. She was a little cold, as we all were for the whole trip, but she wasn't freezing, and that was important.

Just what we needed!!!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
When my boy Charlie and I head out at 6:30 am for our morning walk the average temperature on a January morning in WI is 10 degrees F. The Bark 'n Boots Skyliner boots keep his little feet safe and comfortable. It took a little while for me to get the hang of getting them on tight enough so that they didn't fall off.

Well done
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
Greyhounds don't have much body fat, so when it's under 40, they need something and this is perfect for that. It could be a little longer on the top as it seems a bit short for my hounds, but for most dogs it's probably perfect.

This was exactly what I was looking for. My newly rescued Dobe has a poor coat and is almost bald in many areas. The hardest to cover was his chest and tummy. Your fleece did the job. I was using 4 (I kid you not) layers of the conventional "horse blanket types to try to keep this guy warm. Now with your K9 overcoat and the fleece, he is toasty warm on our walks. He hugs me every time I put it on. I think he likes it! Thanks for a super product. I give it five stars.

We have had lots of snow this year so the fleece coat has been used a lot. It kept him out playing in 6" of snow and 18 F. He is 63 lbs and the mediun fits him well. I've washed it several times and it is holding up well. I also use the cloud chaser jacket when it's cold and rainy that is also a great product.

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
This is an excellent piece for our dog. It fits him like a glove. He has the Climate Changer Fleece Jacket. It is the perfect weight of material without restricting his movement and adds just enough warmth. However, it does tend to be a little too snug only in the arm area, so I would recommend making the arms just a bit wider. I had to stretch out the arm holes. Other than that, I would definately purchase another and also recommend this product to anyone looking for great quality products for their dog. We are very happy!

I like these vests. I hunt with my dogs and I use these when it is very cold. They are quieter and don't rub my dogs as much as other vest I have tried. But, the green color is not as bright as I would like. I wish they came in international orange.

Best Coat Ever
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
My wife and I rescued to pitties a few years back who LOVE spending time outside most of the year. Winter, however is by far their least favorite.............until we bought these coats. It's 26 degrees out and they don't want to come inside. The coats fit perfectly, well constructed and the fleece material is very nice. Duke and Jada loved them from day one and are very comfortable taking walks in the cold weather. In the past, they would shake and shiver if outside for a few minutes. Those days are long gone. I've slipped my hand up inside the coat when they're wearing it to feel their body temp..........always warm. I'd HIGHLY recommend this coat to everyone. Simply said, you can't go wrong.

Great fit, great quality
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
We got this coat for our young boxer. He goes for a walk at least once a day and after a cold snap I decided to go ahead and get this coat for him. With highs in the 20s right now, this coat helps him to still get his exercise without being chilled. He was a bit confused the first time I put it on, but now he knows exacty what it means when I pull it out. The fit is great, no chafing and he is able to run around as usual. A bit pricey but great materials and it is obvious this is a high-quality jacket, functional and looks good too.

Awesome Fleece
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I got this for Lily during the winter months when she's outside at doggie daycare. The fit is great and I love that it covers her belly and chest where there's less fur to keep her warm. She doesn't seem to mind it at all since it doesn't obstruct her movement while romping around with the other dogs. I love how well built it is and how it doesn't look like the other goofy dog coats I've seen! It looks like a fleece jacket I would wear but sized for her. Even my boyfriend who first thought the idea was ridiculous liked the coat on her. She has the Cloud Chaser for rainy days but this is perfect for clear, cold days. Fantastic product!

Perfect
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I am thrilled that I finally found a coat that fits my dog! I was a little worried that my Great Dane would be too big for the x-large but it fits him with a little bit of room to spare (he has a 40" chest). The size measurements that are listed seem to be very accurate so if your dog's chest size is larger than 42", the coat may not fit but it does have a little stretch in it. The length is perfect. He loves it--can't wait to take him camping in the spring!

Oz and I love this jacket! I got the xxsmall for him and it fits like a glove! I got it for our 6week stay in Ouray and have had him in it for our hikes around Utah and he has already gotten used to wearing it. Now he doesn't shake and whine when we are out in the snow, he just tromps along happily with all the other dogs.

AZ winters can cause our short-haired pup to start shivering (even inside the house). The jacket promptly takes care of that problem. The only time he's not wearing it is during active hikes and agility class. The jacket has a great look and doesn't stretch out (like sweaters can). The side zipper is great - so easy to slip on and off. Size XS is a perfect fit for our 23 lb. pup.

GREAT!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I bought this at a pet store over the weekend. I have a min pin that really loves outside but he doesn't have a ton of fur so he gets cold VERY easily. I have been looking for a coat that ZIPS or snaps as opposed to velcro as my Ridgeback will pull a velcro jacket off of my min-pin and chew it up. I LOVE this jacket. The price is appalling but the workmanship of this is great. The zipper is sturdy, the stitching is solid and overall, it is really well constructed. And, of course, he looks super cute!!! Also bought the cloud chaser but figured I would wait until it's wet to use it.

It gets cold in the mountains, and my dobie wears his Climate Changer every night. When the weather gets really cold, we put his Ruffwear coat over it and double layer him. Both have held up nicely and that's saying alot since he rockets through the mountain trails every day!

Fits Well
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
Both of our dogs have had their Climate Changer Fleece Jackets for almost a year and the jackets are still in good condition. The jackets fit the dogs well and do not appear to restrict movement nor bother the dogs. Our Pit Bull gets cold at night so he wears his jacket to bed in the winter. With consistent nightly wear and some roughhousing with the jackets on, one jacket has ripped in two different places. Both times were close to the seam and very easy to stitch up. We have both green and black and personally like how the green does not show our dogs hair as much as the black does.

Our Vizsla, Steve, loves being outside, but doesn't have much of a natural coat to defend against the cold- this fleece jacket is thick enough to keep him warm out in the yard or at the dog park, but not so bulky that he can't simply lounge around the house in it too. And if it's below freezing or raining, he can easily wear it beneath a raincoat or snow jacket for extra insulation. Overall, I would highly recommend it!

Just got this in addition to the cloud chaser. It's a bit roomier and stretchier than the cloud chaser and therefore more comfortable and better for lounging around or putting it on at night when you're camping in cold weather. Not wind or water proof, so for snowshoeing etc. the cloud chaser is definitely better. Seems a bit pricey for the material. Shop for a sale!
