I bought the cover in October 2017, but write this review in December 2018. It is possible that changes to the design have been made in retrospect, but I do not take that into account in this review.
This cover is of the appropriate thickness, and is used as soon as it gets cold and throughout the winter. It's a perfect fit for my dog, which is a male Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The second rug is often too short or too long. The cover is designed so that it is close and neatly close to the body, without knitting around the hind legs to keep the cover in place. The fact that it doesn't have a rubber band in the back, I think the dog appreciates. And even if it doesn't have a bungee, it takes a lot more before the wind manages to grab the cover and the back part blows up.
I wish the cover could be more. If it rains, it quickly draws water. So it doesn't fit the worst rainy days in Bergen. The cover must be washed by hand or on a fine wash. After 1-2 months we saw that the reflector mark on the sides was flaking off. This happened after repeated washing, but the reflex is still there today. The cover also tends to "keep smelling", and sometimes does not hold a short wash. And after 1 year of use, the seam has also begun to loosen in some places, but it can come from a lot of washing and a very active dog.
After all, I'm in here to order another one!
