Waterproof Dog Jackets Winter: Keep Your Pup Warm and Dry Outdoors

Built for relentless rain, the Fjord 2.0 earned points in our review for superb waterproofing, breathability, and secure full-body coverage with leg straps and multiple adjustment points. It's lightweight and great for active dogs that overheat in thicker coats, with reflective details for safety. However, at $94.99 and uninsulated, it offers little winter warmth - hence its 5/10 score in a cold-weather guide. Measure carefully for coverage, and plan to layer a fleece if temperatures truly drop.

The Frisco Reversible Raincoat is a handy, packable layer for surprise showers, with a reversible look and reflective details for visibility. In our testing, the thin, uninsulated, water-resistant fabric and a floppy hood (which often falls over the eyes) limited its usefulness in real winter weather. Sizing ran large and inconsistent - many owners may need to size down - so expect some trial and error. At $15.99 and a 5/10 score, it's a budget backup rather than a primary cold, wet-weather solution.

If you're braving true winter, the Hurtta Extreme Warmer is our top-rated pick at 9.5/10. In testing, its heavy insulation, taped seams, and waterproof shell delivered exceptional warmth and weatherproofing, while multiple cinch points dial in a secure, full-coverage fit with great reflective visibility. It can run snug and goes on over the head, which some dogs dislike, so measure carefully. The premium build and performance justify the $82.40 price for serious cold-weather adventures.

For budget-friendly warmth, the WeatherBeeta Parka 1200D Deluxe punched above its price in our testing. The tough 1200D outer and waterproof, breathable construction paired with 220g polyfill delivered cozy, full-coverage protection that rivals pricier coats, plus reflective details and easy adjusters. At $29.99 and an 8/10 score, it's a standout value - especially for bigger dogs. Do note the neck design can block many harness attachments, and the outer fabric shows dog hair, so plan your leash setup and keep a lint brush handy.

The RC Pets Delta Rain Slicker earns points for comfort: its lightweight, slightly stretchy fabric moves with your dog and the adjustable fit plus reflective label help on dim, drizzly walks. Real-world caveat, though - belly coverage is limited and it's uninsulated and only water-resistant, so it won't cut it for cold, soaking storms. Some dogs also just tolerate the feel rather than love it. With a 5.5/10 score at $36, it's fine for mild showers, not serious winter.

Non-stop dogwear’s Trekking Raincoat proved a wet-weather specialist in our testing, posting a 7.5/10 thanks to its 10,000 mm waterproof rating and smart drainage under the chest. Breathable construction, adjustable leg straps, and a harness opening keep it secure and comfortable during active walks, with reflective details for visibility. The trade-off is zero insulation and a single black colorway, so warmth depends on layering. For dogs who hike in downpours, it rivals pricier shells while remaining winter-ready with a fleece underneath.

When rain is the main concern, the Hurtta Monsoon delivered reliable waterproofing in our testing thanks to its laminated shell, taped seams, and full-coverage cut. It earned a 6.5/10 because warmth is light—great for wet fall hikes or mild winters, but not a heavy cold-weather parka. We liked the packable design and reflective piping, though the thin leg straps aren’t individually adjustable, and the fabric can feel damp even while the dog stays dry. Layer over a fleece for colder days.

For wet, windy walks, the Ruffwear Sun Shower kept our testers dry with a 3,000 mm waterproof shell, extended vest-style coverage, and leg loops that help the jacket stay put. Reflective accents and adjustability add everyday usability. The tradeoff is warmth: it's uninsulated and some users noted flimsy-feeling buckles and inconsistent sizing, so measure carefully. With a 7/10 score at $59.99, it's a solid rain solution that pairs best with a base layer in colder climates.

On soggy days, the Canada Pooch Torrential Tracker impressed us with its rubberized waterproof shell and full-coverage design that kept pups dry in heavy rain. The reflective trim and adjustable straps are handy for low-light walks, and at $31 it's an affordable pick. That said, it runs small and the front leg holes mean you'll likely need to lift paws - some dogs balked during our review. With a 6/10 score and no insulation, it's best for rainy shoulder-season use or layered over a warm base.

If you need bombproof rain protection, the Rukka Pets Protect Overall earned an 8/10 for its 5,000 mm waterproof fabric, taped seams, and full-body coverage. In our experience, the adjustable waist, collar, and touch-fastening leg ends help customize the fit, while reflective details boost safety in dim conditions. Just note it’s uninsulated, the back zipper plus full-body design can be fiddly with wiggly dogs, and the price runs higher than basic raincoats. Pair it with a warm midlayer for true winter cold.

The Hurtta Raven Downpour Suit offers excellent coverage with a waterproof shell, taped seams, and 3M reflectives, plus adjustability at the neckline, waist, and leg length. We found it ideal for slushy days when you want to keep grime and drizzle off your dog without overheating. However, light insulation means it's not warm enough for very cold snaps without a base layer, and some leg closures can work loose. With a 7/10 score at $69.76, watch for sizing inconsistencies versus back-length charts and double-check leg closures before heading out.

Budget-friendly without skimping on performance, the Weatherbeeta ComFiTec earned an 8.5/10 in our testing for warmth, visibility, and ease of use. The waterproof shell, full-coverage belly wrap, and 220g polyfill kept pups comfortable on cold, damp walks, while the highly reflective outer stood out at dusk. Adjustable straps help dial in fit, though we found the elastic leg straps and belly wrap can need tweaking on oddly shaped dogs. At $24.99, it’s a standout value compared with pricier winter coats.

Kurgo’s North Country scored 6/10 in our review: useful for shoulder-season chill, but not our pick for deep-winter cold. The water-resistant shell and fleece lining add medium warmth, and we appreciated the reflective piping plus integrated LED strip for visibility on dark streets. Fit can run baggy on narrow-chested dogs, and partial coverage leaves more exposed than true winter parkas. At $33.85, it’s a practical, durable everyday layer, but plan to add a sweater when temps plunge.

Think of the Ruffwear Cloud Chaser as a weatherproof softshell: its waterproof, windproof upper shields the elements while the fleece-lined lower panel adds light core warmth without bulk. We liked the reflective trim and light loop for low-light safety, and the sleek fit moves well on active dogs. Downsides? The snug, sleeved design can be tricky to zip on some breeds and leaves many bellies exposed, so coverage is limited. Scoring 7.5/10, it's best for cool, wet days or layered in deep cold.

The DJANGO City Slicker is a handy all-weather shell that scored 6/10 in our review—great for drizzle and slush, less so for deep winter. Its water-repellent nylon sheds muck well, and the lightweight sport mesh lining plus adjustable fit keep active dogs comfortable without overheating, aided by reflective piping for after-dark walks. That said, insulation is minimal and the cut can run short on long-backed dogs. We also found Velcro and elastic leg loops collect mud, so expect more frequent washes.

Our top-rated choice at 10/10, the Hurtta Expedition Parka excelled in subfreezing tests with heavy insulation and fully waterproof, taped seams. We liked the adjustable back length and collar, which helped tailor the full-coverage fit across different breeds, and reflective details boosted low-light safety. Downsides: sizing can be tricky, and the leg-loop rear flaps may collect mess for squatters. It’s pricier than most, but for dogs facing freezing rain and deep cold, the warmth and dryness were best-in-class.

Tailored for deep-chested breeds, the Voyagers K9 Apparel Boxer Winter Coat fit beautifully in our review and kept rain and snow at bay with its DWR-treated waterproof outer. The Polartec fleece lining provides reliable medium warmth, dries quickly, and the full-coverage cut with reflective accents and adjustability adds everyday practicality. At 8.5/10, it's one of our higher-rated options for breed-specific fit. It is pricey at $138 and can feel thin in extreme cold, so consider layering on frigid days.
