Cooler Jackets

Hi

has anyone got one of these and which would you recomment?

Ta

Sorry no, never used them

Yes i have the towel type ones which i usually soak but to be honest i am noty finding them very practicle.

I have just bought 3 Swamp Coolers so they should arrive on Tuesday / Wednesday this week. I have seen these and know people with them and i have yet to hear a bad report about them. Looking forward to getting them and to be able to walk my dogs in the heat without the need to worry

I would be interested to see these and hear what you think Julie. I may invest in a couple of these especially if we get the heat wave that has been predicted this year

I have 2 toweling coats but they fall off when wet i am waiting on more arriving they fit like t shirts so should be a lot better will post pics when they arrive But i need to measure the dogs then send away if anyone would like the link please pm me and i will send it on

Hi guys

This is a link to the coats although its not where i bought mine from i can't find the link for some reason. Anyway this is what the coats are and some info on them

There is loads of reviews all over the net on these coats and i have yet to read a bad one.

My friend at Flyball bought one for her Black lad and ran a test on it. She said it took over 3 hours before the coat started to loose the reaction of staying cool.

Last year I made some fleece/towelling hoodies for a rescue. Same idea as these coats - soak them in water before you put them on the dog. The hood also protects the top of their heads while keeping them cool. Then, as the hoody dries just tip more cold water onto it.
