The Guardian Gear Vinyl Dog Rain Jacket with Reflective Strip is a good product. The sizing chart was very hard to locate online and I couldn't find it with the Amazon.com listing of this jacket but once I found the chart, I determined which size my dog needed. Once I received the rain jacket I put it on my Smooth Collie. I found that the chest sizing wasn't accurate on the chart. The jacket's chest strap is way too long for the sewn on velcro stips to latch together. So I have to improvise and make the chest strap loop around in order for the velcro stip to latch together properly. The rain jacket itself is of good vinyl quality. It is sewn together nicely. And it comes with a little hood. But this hood is too little and short to fit over a larger dog's head, like my Collie. So it basically sits at the back of her head and ears. The back/rear part of the rain jacket sits about a few inches away from the end of her back, so if it is raining, her tail end will get wet. But for the most part, her back and sides and neck area will be protected. The extra material under the neck is I suppose for looks. It's totally unnecessary. Also, there are very thin, cheap pieces of elastic to fit around the rear legs so the rain jacket doesn't slip off the dog's back and land under the dog while it walks. I found that if you don't put these elastic loops around your dog, the jacket will slide to the dog's side or under the dog. So these elastic loops are necessary but very cheap and I am certain they will stretch out over time and not work as well. Overall, the Guardian Gear Vinyl Dog Rain Jacket with Reflective Strip is a good and well sewn product. But the manufacturer's sizing chart doesn't reflect how the jacket actually fits on the dog. The strap that holds the jacket in place on the chest is made too long for a Smooth Collie sized dog, which for my dog is X-Large. This jacket is a nice way to protect your dog from the elements and I will use it for my Smooth Collie even though the strap is long. I will make it work. But for those folks reading this review, just know that the back of the jacket needs to be longer, the strap needs to be shorter and the hood needs to be larger. Other than that, it's a nice doggie rain jacket.

My dog is a slender, long legged 15#s and the small coat fits him well. I had to take in the belly band because he's slim through the middle, but it should even fit over his winter coat. It works great.We all laughed (with) him and his buddies all barked at him because they didn't recognize him, but he was unfazed. If you run the leash through the slot on the back, the hood stays up.
There's even a pocket for him to carry his cellphone or money for a call. I love the coat.
