I've been looking for the perfect garment for our camping trips.There's nothing worse than wet dog in a tent, for her or for me. The important factors would be warmth, ability to dry effectively, comfort and quick drying after use for the next day.This meets all those criteria.I purchased XL after looking at other reviews for sizes bought and what dog breeds they were for. My baby is medium size cross, boxer/Italian segugio, 20kg but has quite a long body, large shoulders and tiny belly. The XL was a good choice in size, although slightly too big in depth (shoulder to paw) the length (head to tail) was okay. The wrap around pulled it up somewhat so the cinch at the front wasn't at her knees. An adjustable cinch would have been perfect but it wasn't a problem.Wet dog in a tent, the biggest challenge is avoiding hypothermia, this blanket is lovely and warm so while it's drying it's keeping her nice and snug.It's hard to comment on comfort but I would summize this ticks the box. She turned into a possum playing dead. It literally froze her solid😁. I scooped her up and layed her on her side and although she was as stiff as a board after a few minutes her eyes drifted into what I could only perceive as bliss. She happy laid there for an hour and I took advantage of the effect and did teeth and nails which is usually a challenge.I took the blanket off after an hour and she was dry as a bone and so was the blanket.She was pretty wet, it was a typical hour morning walk in the rain but it was tipping down in normal British fashion. What a crazy summer!I am extremely happy with this, I've looked at quite a few garments in mountaineering stores but they were simply normal towels sewn into dog coats and I wanted more than that. I would highly recommend and the quality of the fabric and the stitching is top class!
