The fabrics
- Indoor/Outdoor: a midweight fleece that resists wind and rain. The one bodysuit made for inside and out, for walking, playing, lounging and sleeping.
- Heavy Fleece: a thick, warm polar fleece that resists wind, rain and snow. It stretches sideways for dogs of different weights.
- Extra Heavy Fleece: a thick velour fleece that resists the wind and repels snow, for very cold conditions.
- Windblock: 3 layers: a velvety outer fleece that is water-repellent and fights off stains, a polyurethane layer that blocks wind and snow while letting moisture through, and a textured inner fleece for insulation.
- Extra Heavy Windblock: the same build in a fleece so thick it feels like a jacket in the shape of a bodysuit.
Hood or no hood?
Hooded styles cover the head, ears and neck for icy days. The hoods are sewn in, without attachments or strings, and do not interfere with your dog’s vision; on the Extra Heavy Fleece Hooded Bodysuit the hood rolls back into a turtleneck. Hooded styles have 2 leash openings, one on the back and one on the hood. The Windblock Fleece Bodysuit without a hood also has 2 leash openings, on the high neck and on the back.
