The polyester fleece creates a warm and comfortably soft layer around your dog’s body.
This makes the harness particularly suitable for cool autumn and winter walks, although it is not a substitute for a fully protective dog coat in severe weather.
The step-in construction allows your dog’s front legs to be placed through the harness before it is secured across the back.
A hook-and-loop fastening makes the harness straightforward to put on and remove while allowing some adjustment around the chest.
Traditional tartan edging contrasts with the Olive fleece and gives the harness its recognisable country-inspired appearance.
An embossed branded badge on the front chest provides a smart finishing detail.
