Best Ladies Dog Walking Coats For 2023: Top 5 Products
Come rain or come shine, your fluffy friend needs their daily walkies and it can become a real chore if you don't have the right coat.
Not only do you need something that will keep you warm and comfortable, but you also need something that can protect you against the Great British weather.
We have all been there when the rain is pouring down the back of our coat as we scramble through our pockets trying to find the dog bags, and we want to help you avoid this in the future!
So here's our guide to the best long waterproof coats available in 2023:
1. Jack Murphy Malvern Ladies Waterproof Bush Coat
Step out in style with the Malvern - the top seller from the Jack Murphy Ladies’ Heritage Collection for over a decade.
This coat has a lovely country feel, which suits everyday wear and can be paired with your favourite pair of boots or wellingtons. The non-bulky feel to this coat and the generous sizing allows you to layer as you like. Pop on a chunky sweater underneath for extra comfort, or keep it light with a slim sweater or long-sleeve shirt when it's wet, but not super cold.
With an exceptional 20,000mm waterproof rating and taped seams, this coat has an added feature of a shoulder cape with arm straps for extra rain spilling protection. It is also equipped with a detachable hood for when we're lucky enough to have dry weather, or wear it with the matching Malvern hat in a complementary colour if you prefer.
The Malvern is definitely an investment piece that will stay a firm favourite in your wardrobe for many years to come. It also comes as the Cotswold 3/4 length, and can be part of a pair with the men's Lambourne.
2. Baleno Kensington Long Waterproof Coat
The Baleno Kensington is a popular choice of coat that is adaptable for both town and country.
One of our top sellers year after year, the Kensington combines a luxurious soft-to-touch fabric with powerful waterproof, windproof, and breathable technology. The technical and practical features showcase how this coat is the ideal layer for cold and wet weather.
It has a two-way zip, internal leg straps, and a fully adjustable hood. The length of the coat means it's easy to pair with boots or wellies, creating full protection from the British winter season. If it's particularly bitter, or you just like to feel cosy, choose one of the zip-in fleece lining options that Baleno have designed to be the perfect match.
This is a great outer layer to keep you comfortable when you're heading out into the elements, and it remains one of the best from a fantastic equestrian brand. Check out the Chelsea version for a 3/4 length if that's more your style, or the Livingstone for the men's choice.
3. Lighthouse Outback Full Length Ladies Waterproof Raincoat
One of the first long waterproof jackets to be sold on our country stall back in the 90s, the Outback from Lighthouse has gone from strength to strength.
A firm favourite with dog walkers and outdoor lovers, it is impressive how premium this coat feels for the price. Close-up inspection shows the smaller details haven't been missed when designing this coat - it has adjustable cuff tabs and two deep front hip pockets with zip fastenings.
The Outback offers a feminine cut, which slightly tapers in at the waistline, but is still generous enough to fit a jumper underneath to combat the cold weather. The waterproof rating of 10,000mm and fully taped seams keeps you warm and dry, and, overall, this coat gives off a trendy country look that suits as the extra layer for the wet weather season.
Available in a range of gorgeous colours, match your Outback with the Storm hat for great weather protection when walking your pup. Prefer a shorter coat? Lighthouse have the Outrider - which has the features of the Outback, but in a 3/4 length style. Men can also find their next winter jacket with the Stockman.
4. Jack Murphy Erin Long Waterproof Coat
The Erin by Jack Murphy is designed specifically for women who want something stylish yet functional.
It is a coat which is full of fantastic features. It has a soft quilted interior, a removable hood, two outer pockets with stud closing flaps, and two internal pockets. Fully waterproof at 20,000mm and with a breathability rating of 3,000 g/m², this is a great option that provides a layer of warmth for winter storms.
The style is derived from the classic Australian outback Drover's riding mac, or "Duster", coat - something timeless that has proven its worth over the years. The Erin comes in three classic colours that are easy to pair with a country clothing wardrobe. It looks gorgeous styled with country boots or wellingtons, and can be layered up with a gilet or cosy knitwear.
We love for the Erin for its versatility - you can walk the dog in wet weather, and then also still look smart enough for popping into your local pub on the way home! The Una is the 3/4 length version, and your other half will look fantastic in the Jack Murphy Emmet.
5. Champion Sandringham Long Waterproof Coat
Sitting at an affordable price, the Sandringham is one of the highlights from Champion Country Clothing in their range of fantastic products.
This coat is one of those which does what it says on the tin. Its 100% waterproofed polyester outer shell keeps you nice and dry when the heavens open, and you and your pup are still playing fetch in the park. This exterior fabric is also easy to wipe down, which is perfect for incoming of muddy paws after a rainy walk.
The Sandringham coat comes in different colour choices to suit your personal taste, and its tartan polycotton lining is a nice finishing touch to its style. A popular choice not only for dog walking, but for nipping out for a pint of milk or wearing around the town.
If you prefer a slightly shorter style to your coat, take a look at the Champion Windsor, or if you're after a matching coat for your hubby, pick up the Highgrove for him.
