Two D-rings on a coat solve a problem most winter coats create. Once a dog is zipped into a padded layer the collar is buried and the harness is underneath it, so you end up unzipping the whole thing at the front door just to clip a lead on. Loops sewn onto the back of this one give you somewhere to clip without undoing anything you have just fastened.

It is a quilted two-tone build with padding through the body, closed by a full-length zip and elasticated so it pulls in to the dog's shape rather than hanging off it like a blanket. That matters, because a loose coat lets cold air underneath and quietly defeats the padding. Reflective trim runs across it, which counts for more than it sounds in a British winter, when most weekday walks happen in the dark at both ends of the day.

• Padded, quilted two-tone construction
• Full-length zip closure
• Twin D-rings for lead attachment
• Reflective trim
• Elasticated body for a closer fit
• Sizes XL to 6XL in black, blue or navy
• Weighs 187g to 381g depending on size

On sizing: only the larger end of the range is stocked here, XL to 6XL, and the measurements we hold are flat packed dimensions rather than a body chart. Measure your dog's back from collar to tail base and their chest girth and send us both. Note also that a D-ring on a coat suits a settled walker; a dog who pulls belongs on a harness worn underneath.

Who it's for: Larger dogs who genuinely feel the cold, walked on dark winter mornings along pavements and roadsides.
