Hurtta Expedition Parka: Features and Fit Guide

Quick Answer

Fit and Use FAQ

How do I measure my dog for the Expedition Parka?

Use a flexible tape measure. Measure the back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Then measure the chest girth at the widest part, just behind the front legs. Compare both measurements to the Hurtta size chart. Always take both measurements; don't rely on weight alone.

Should I size up for a growing puppy?

If your puppy is still growing, you might size up to get more wear, but ensure the coat isn't so loose that it interferes with movement or causes chafing. For a perfect fit, measure regularly and adjust. For growing pups, check fit every few weeks.

How should the coat fit around the chest and neck?

The coat should be snug but not tight. You should be able to slide two fingers flat between the coat and your dog's body. The neck opening should not restrict breathing, and the chest should not limit leg movement. If you can't fit two fingers, it's too tight.

Is the Expedition Parka waterproof?

The Hurtta Expedition Parka is designed to beat wind and cold, and it offers weather resistance suitable for snowy and rainy conditions. However, it's not a fully waterproof suit for swimming. For heavy rain, consider a dedicated waterproof jacket. For dry warmth in snow, this parka works well; for swimming, choose a different product.
