Arma-Doggo - All Purpose Jacket
by D-fa Dogs
The Arma-Doggo incorporates a durable outer Cordura® shell, Schoeller Dynatec for its magical reflective qualities and a fleece inner layer for warmth. It’s the most hard-wearing and super-reflective D-fa-design yet and is great for dogs that need durability, visibility and insulation all in one.
Schoeller Dynatec® fabric in the front and side panels of the jacket improve visibility and durability for protection from the elements. The Dynatec appears black during daylight conditions, but reflects light to illuminate to bright silver for safer night manoeuvres.
Arma-Doggo is great for dogs exercising in dark, cool or wet conditions who are tough on gear and need something a little tougher and more reflective.

Sizing
Our jackets have generous adjustment to accomodate different doggy shapes such as deep chests, narrow waists and broad shoulders.
Take the spine length as your first indication of size. Measure from just in front of the point of the shoulders, to the base of their tail. Wiggling is expected but try to get a measurement while they are standing reasonably straight.
Your dog's weight indicates how much volume they will take up in the coat. It is most relevant when they are on the border of two sizes. If they are over the heavy side of the weight range, consider sizing up. If they are lighter, opt for the smaller of the two sizes.
We have also given breed-body type reference points to help visualise the coat on different sized dogs. We've used familiar breeds so don't take it too literally but imagine the size/shape of your dog's torso compared to these. Don't worry about short or long legs or scruffy faces or stumpy tails. It's the torso size that's most important here. So, for example if you have a Rottweiler x Whippet that ended up the size of a Vizsla but with a bigger head then go for the Medium.
If you've measured, compared and are still unsure then please contact us and we'll do our best to help.
