Dog Owner Guides | Waterproof Walking Jackets
Dog walking is a big part of being a dog owner and it provides so much enjoyment for both owner and pet, along with providing a basic foundation for physical and mental health. However, dog’s need walking all year round, even in the blustery wind and rain, so a versatile rain jacket is a must and will help to ensure your plans aren’t derailed by the British weather.
Below are our recommend dog-walking styles for your rainy autumn walks.
Arc’teryx Beta Superlight HyBrid Jacket
If you are planning a long adventure with your dog filled with trails and hikes through all manner of terrains, this Superlight Jacket from outdoors brand Arc’teryx is the perfect walking companion. Made from two GORE-TEX fabrics for the windproof and waterproof factor, it’s also lightweight so you won’t feel weighed down when clocking up the miles with your dog.
