The Classic Waterproof Dog Coat in Navy 150g is a lightweight padded coat with a waterproof and breathable 600D outer, 150g thermo filling and reflective strip and binding. It's designed as an all-rounder for cooler, wet weather, making it a great lightweight padded dog coat for UK autumns, mild winters and chilly spring mornings, available in 14 sizes from 25cm to 90cm at £28.99.
British weather rarely sits still. One week brings crisp frosts, the next is mild and drizzly. Heavily padded coats are brilliant on the coldest days but can feel like overkill when it's 12°C and raining. A lighter, mid-weight coat fills that gap, and it's the one many owners find themselves reaching for most often. Here's what the Classic Navy 150g offers and how to decide whether it's right for your dog.
What is a lightweight padded dog coat, and why choose one?
A lightweight padded coat sits between a simple raincoat and a heavy winter jacket. It offers some insulation, so your dog stays comfortable when the air is cool, without the extra warmth that could make an active dog too hot.
The Classic Navy 150g does this with 150g of thermo filling inside a waterproof, breathable shell. The result is a coat that provides warmth and protection from rain and chilly weather without feeling bulky. It's particularly well suited to:
- Autumn and spring walks when it's cool and damp rather than freezing.
- Active dogs who run around a lot and warm up quickly.
- Milder parts of the UK where winters are wet more often than bitterly cold.
- Dogs who dislike heavy clothing but still benefit from a bit of warmth.
Key features of the Classic Navy 150g
150g thermo filling
The filling provides comfortable warmth for cooler days. It's enough to take the edge off a raw, damp morning without overheating your dog on a brisk walk.
Durable 600D outer
The 600D outer fabric is designed for everyday adventures, from park loops to woodland trails. Denier refers to the thickness of the fibres, and 600D is a robust choice for a dog coat that gets plenty of use.
Waterproof and breathable
The outer helps keep your dog dry while allowing moisture to escape, so they don't feel clammy inside the coat.
Reflective strip and binding
Navy is smart and practical, but not especially bright, so the reflective strip and binding help improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Adjustable Velcro chest and belly fastenings
The Velcro fastenings let you achieve a secure, comfortable and adjustable fit in seconds. Larger sizes come with two belly straps for extra adjustability and security on bigger dogs.
Elasticated leg straps and easy washing
Elasticated leg straps help keep the coat in place during movement, and the whole coat is machine washable at 30°C, which is handy after muddy walks.
150g vs 250g: choosing the right mid-weight dog coat
The Classic coat in navy is also available in a 250g version. Here's a simple way to think about the two:
- Choose the 150g if your dog is active, has a reasonable natural coat, or you mostly walk in cool, wet conditions.
- Choose the 250g if your dog feels the cold easily, is less active on walks, or you regularly head out on frosty mornings.
Watch how your dog behaves on walks. Shivering or reluctance suggests they'd appreciate more warmth, while panting or seeming restless in a coat may mean they're too warm. If you're unsure what's right for your dog, your vet or groomer is a good person to ask.
How to measure for the Classic Navy 150g
For this coat, measure your dog from the base of the collar to the top of the tail.
- Stand your dog on a flat surface, looking straight ahead.
- Start your soft tape measure at the base of the collar.
- Run it along the spine to the top of the tail.
- Choose the matching size from 25cm/10" to 90cm/36" (5cm/2" increments).
- Check the measurement against our size guide before ordering.
Once it's on, the coat should cover the back neatly, the Velcro should close without strain, and your dog should be able to move freely. If you have any questions about sizing, fit or the coat itself, get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

Care tips for an everyday dog coat
A coat you use most days deserves a simple care routine:
- Hang it to dry after each walk so it's fresh for the next one.
- Brush off dried mud rather than washing after every outing.
- Fasten all Velcro before machine washing at 30°C.
- Air dry away from radiators and direct heat.
- Clear hair from the Velcro regularly to keep fastenings secure.
Layering for changeable weather
On dry but cold days, some owners prefer a soft knit or fleece layer. Our Fleece Dog Jumper in Hunter Green is a cosy option for those crisp, dry outings, while the Classic Navy 150g takes over when the rain arrives.
