Polartec Dog Coats – Why Polar Fleece Coats are Warm and Breathable
‘Polar Fleece’ is also known as 'fleece', or its brand name ‘Polartec®.'
Fleece and Polartec dog coats have a
various quality levels: the grade you buy will determine the length of time your
dog will enjoy its jacket. So you’re able to find the best polar
fleece dog coat for your pooch, here are some key quality features to look for
when buying polar fleece dog coats.
Good Insulation
Known as one of the most durable, soft and versatile dog coat fabrics, fleece is
unique because it can sit right next to the body and keep it well insulated,
while at the same time protect it from the wind, rain and snow. For this reason, it
is the quintessential winter dog apparel fabric due to the practicality and protection
it provides.
Breathability
Polar fleece’s breathability is its greatest asset as
it allows dogs to run around in the fall and winter seasons without sweating in
their jackets. Its
capacity to wick away moisture is what provides your pet with the greatest comfort
and warmth in cooler seasons.
Quality
Despite fleece's numerous benefits
(see below), when you’re buying a polar fleece dog coat or fabric it’s
important to inquire how the fabric will fare in cold weather. Look out for a
number fleece imposter fabrics that will look good and feel soft the first few
times they are worn and then stretch,
pill, tear or lose their warmth shortly thereafter.
In conclusion, here are the signs of HIGH-quality fleece for your dog:
• Provide the utmost warmth without weight
• Breathe
• Block wind
• Shed rain and snow
• Dry quickly
• Wash well without losing durability
• Provide enough stretch to move with your dog
Signs of LOW-quality fleece:
• Pill

• Age prematurely
• Show spots associated with rubbing
• Lose shape
