My dog is active like my wife and I so we walk daily even in very cold temps and snow. I read reviews about the Summit Puffer and purchased one. I was immediately impressed by the thick Sherpa lining, the design, and the appearance. It is a handsome coat. I truly appreciate the ease of putting the coat on and off due to the two velcro closures, the waterproof shell, the leash hole for harnesses, and the stretchy fit which mirrors my dog's movement. Lining the velcro straps up to close-it on an excited dog can be challenging but not difficult. I purchased the previous season red which is a beautiful color combination. I am very satisfied with my purchase and my dog is happy to wear this coat. I would purchase this brand again.
