Ancol Stormguard Dog Coat Hi-Vis Medium Waterproof Dog Jacket

Ancol Stormguard Dog Coat – Hi-Vis, Medium (40cm back)

Medium is a 40cm back length, measured from the base of the collar to the base of the tail: spaniel, collie and mid-sized crossbreed territory. The Stormguard is the lined coat in Ancol's range — a waterproof outer with fleece behind it — so it is the one for January rather than for a warm shower.

The hi-vis colourway is the practical choice for anyone walking beside traffic. A driver picks up the block of colour in daylight and the reflective edging tape once headlights hit it. Underneath, a chest protector keeps the brisket clean, elasticated leg straps hold the coat down, and a zipped harness slot lets a lead reach a harness worn beneath.

Performance & Benefits

• Waterproof outer over a fleece lining, for cold and wet together.
• Chest protector shields the underside from mud, dirt and rain.
• Elasticated neck keeps weather out without gripping the throat.
• Elasticated leg straps stop the coat riding forward at a canter.
• Hi-vis body plus reflective edging tape — visible by day and in headlights.
• Zipped harness slot for lead access to a harness under the coat.
• Machine washable at 30°C.

Suitable For

• Dogs measuring 40cm from collar to base of tail.
• Cold, wet winter walking where a lined coat is wanted.
• Roadside walking, dusk and early mornings.
• Spaniels, collies and similar mid-sized dogs — measured, not assumed.
• If your dog measures nearer 35cm along the back, Ancol make an S/M; nearer 50cm, take the Large. There is no 45cm in this range, so round to the nearer figure and check the fit behind the shoulders.

How to Use

• Measure the back length from the base of the collar to the base of the tail with the dog standing square, and order to that figure.
• Fasten the neck first, then the belly, then bring the elasticated straps around the hind legs.
• Leave two fingers of slack at the neck and keep the leg straps clear of the groin.
• Unzip the harness slot and pass the lead through to a harness worn underneath.
• Machine wash at 30°C and air dry naturally.

• Ancol publish back length only for this range — no chest girth figures, no fabric composition and no waterproof rating — so none of that is stated here.

Care & Caution

• Machine wash at 30°C and air dry. Do not tumble dry or dry near a radiator or stove; heat degrades the waterproof coating.
• The zipped slot is for lead access to a harness underneath. Never clip a lead to the coat itself — no part of a coat is load-rated.
• Hi-vis fabric and reflective tape need another light source to work. On unlit lanes add an active light such as the Ancol Blinker Orange LED Dog Safety Light.
• Check the elasticated leg straps for rubbing behind the elbows and in the groin.
• Take the coat off indoors. A fleece-lined coat on a warm, dry dog will overheat it.
