Stumptown Quilted Dog Jacket - Insulated, Water-Resistant Winter Coat

Our review of the Stumptown Quilted Dog Jacket finds it best for active dogs that need lightweight, dependable warmth on chilly walks. The single biggest reason to buy is the quilted 120 g recycled insulation that traps heat without bulk while the PFAS-free, bluesign-approved shell sheds light moisture; the jacket delivers consistent warmth and a trim, move-with-dog fit that makes it easy to use every day. Reviewers repeatedly praised the jacket for fit, warmth, and ease of use on breeds that move a lot.

Key Features

• Recycled quilted insulation: 120 g of recycled fill and quilted baffles hold heat efficiently so dogs stay warm without a heavy, restrictive coat.
• PFAS-free shell and lining: Bluesign-approved materials shed light moisture and help keep the insulation dry in damp, cold conditions.
• Rugged 300D ripstop: A durable ripstop outer with DWR resists brush and light moisture for regular trail and urban use.
• Fast on/off buckles: ITW Nexus Waveloc side-release buckles let owners secure the coat without pulling it over the dog's head, speeding transitions.
• Leash-portal ready: A back portal aligns with most harnesses so the coat works with existing gear and maintains a clean leash line.
• Reflective trim and easy care: Reflective trim improves low-light visibility and the coat is machine washable on cold, gentle cycles.

Who It's For

The Stumptown jacket works well for active small to large dogs that need warmth without bulk during clear, cold days and for owners who want a coat that moves with the dog and is quick to put on. Hikers, city walkers, and anyone using a harness will appreciate the leash portal and glove-friendly buckles.

Dogs that need heavy-duty waterproofing in persistent rain or extended wet conditions should look elsewhere, as the jacket is designed to resist light moisture rather than serve as a fully waterproof shell. Also, owners seeking heavily insulated parkas for extreme cold will want a heavier insulation system.
