The Luxe Waterproof Dog Coat 250g in Hunter Green is a warm, waterproof winter coat with a zipped harness hole, built-in tummy and chest protection and a durable 600D ripstop outer. If you've been hunting for a dog coat with a harness hole in the UK that's properly warm, keeps mucky undercarriages cleaner and comes in 14 sizes from 25cm to 90cm, this £32.99 coat is one of the most popular in our range.
Plenty of owners walk their dogs on a harness rather than a collar, and that can make finding a good coat surprisingly tricky. Many coats either sit over the harness, leaving you fumbling for the D-ring, or go underneath it and let rain in around the straps. Here's how the Luxe 250g solves that problem, plus everything you need to know about fit, warmth and care.
Why a dog coat with a harness hole makes walks easier
The standout detail on this coat is the zipped harness hole. You put the coat on over the top of your dog's harness, open the zip and pull the lead attachment point through. Your lead then clips on as normal, and the coat stays on the outside, protecting your dog and the harness from the weather.
Because the opening is zipped, you can close it up when your dog is wearing the coat without a harness, for example on a collar-and-lead walk or on a cold car journey. It's a small feature that makes a big difference to everyday convenience.
If you're looking for a harness to pair it with, our Rugged Rover™ Harness in Midnight Black is a fully adjustable no-pull design that suits an understated green coat nicely.
Key features of the Luxe 250g Hunter Green coat
250g thermo filling for cold winter days
The 250g thermo filling is designed for cold winter days and chilly weather. It provides a generous layer of warmth while the coat itself stays lightweight, so it shouldn't feel bulky or heavy on your dog's back.
600D ripstop outer
Ripstop fabric has a reinforced weave intended to stop small tears from spreading. Combined with a 600D weight, it's built for everyday adventures through fields, woods and hedgerows.
Tummy and chest protection
This is the feature muddy-dog owners love. The coat extends to protect the tummy and chest, helping to keep your dog drier and cleaner underneath. If your dog is low to the ground or loves a puddle, it can mean a lot less towelling down at the back door.
Waterproof and breathable
The outer keeps rain out while allowing moisture to escape, so your dog stays dry without overheating inside the coat.
Secure, adjustable fit
An adjustable belly fastening gives a secure, comfortable fit, and elasticated leg straps help keep the coat in place as your dog moves.
Reflective strips and binding
Hunter green is a rich, classic countryside colour rather than a high-visibility one, so the reflective strips and binding are a welcome addition for darker mornings and evenings.
Who is this warm waterproof dog coat for?
The Luxe 250g Hunter Green is a great match for:
- Harness wearers who want the lead to clip on without lifting the coat.
- Muddy-walk lovers who'd like a cleaner tummy and chest when they get home.
- Dogs who feel the cold, such as short-coated, slim or clipped dogs.
- Owners who like a classic look: hunter green suits country walks, tweed collars and leather leads alike.
- Bigger dogs and small dogs alike, thanks to sizes from 25cm/10" up to 90cm/36".
As always, every dog is different. If you're not sure how much warmth your dog needs, ask your vet or groomer for advice.
250g or 0g?
The Luxe coat is also available with a 0g fill. The 250g is designed for colder winter weather, while 0g versions such as the Luxe Waterproof Dog Coat 0g in Black are aimed at milder, wetter days and dogs who need less warmth. Some owners keep one of each for different seasons.
How to measure your dog for a harness-friendly coat
For the Luxe range, measure from the base of the collar to the base of the tail.
- Put your dog's harness on, so you can see where the lead ring sits.
- Measure from the base of the collar along the spine to the base of the tail.
- Choose the matching size from 25cm/10" to 90cm/36", in 5cm/2" steps.
- Check your measurement against our size guide before ordering.
When you first fit the coat, make sure the harness hole lines up with the lead attachment point, the belly fastening is snug but not tight, and the coat doesn't rub at the shoulders. If you're unsure about sizing, fit or filling, just get in touch and we'll help.
