If you have a large dog, you know that keeping them visible and dry during a winter downpour can be a real challenge. The Ancol Muddy Paws All-Weather Stormguard Coat in Hi-Vis is the ultimate solution for those who refuse to let a bit of fog or rain cancel their plans. This is the Extra Large (XL) size, featuring a 60cm length, which is the go-to fit for bigger, active breeds like Labradors, Retrievers, or Boxers who need gear that can keep up with their energy.

The “Stormguard” name isn’t just a gimmick; this coat is built like a piece of high-end trekking gear for humans. The outer shell is a heavy-duty, waterproof and windproof shield that ensures the rain beads right off rather than soaking into your dog’s coat. But what really makes it stand out in a crowded park is the vibrant Hi-Vis yellow. Whether you’re walking across a misty field or navigating a dim country lane, your dog becomes incredibly easy to spot. To double down on that safety, it’s finished with 3M reflective piping that catches headlights and streetlamps perfectly.

One of the best features for larger dogs is the integrated chest protector. Because they are closer to the ground than we are, they often get soaked from the belly up by splashing mud and road spray. This coat wraps around the chest and underside, acting as a splash guard to keep them clean and dry. Inside, it’s lined with a breathable mesh, providing just the right amount of insulation to keep the chill off without causing a large, powerful dog to overheat while they’re running.

It’s designed with a “no-fuss” approach: it features a simple Velcro fastening system that makes it easy to get on and off, plus elasticated back leg straps to keep the coat from sliding to one side during a full sprint. It’s a tough, reliable, and life-savingly bright piece of kit that makes every walk a lot safer and much less messy.
