In Medium it is cut for a 40cm back length, measured from the base of the collar to the base of the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe detailing is what separates it from a plain cape. A chest protector carries the coat forward under the throat and brisket, which is where most of the mud arrives. Elasticated leg straps stop it riding up on the move, reflective edging tape follows the seams, and a harness slot lets a lead reach a harness worn underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof outer shell that keeps rain off without adding bulk or heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChest protector shields the underside from mud, dirt and spray — the part most coats leave open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElasticated neck and elasticated leg straps hold the coat in position at speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective edging tape improves visibility in poor light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarness slot gives lead access to a harness worn under the coat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine washable at 30°C, so a muddy coat is a wash rather than a scrub.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs measuring 40cm from collar to base of tail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMild, wet weather and showery days — spring and autumn rather than deep winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs walked in a harness, thanks to the slot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeping a groomed or long-coated dog clean on a muddy walk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf your dog measures nearer 35cm along the back, Ancol make an S\/M; nearer 50cm, take the Large.
