Best dog walking coat for women and men to keep toasty and dry on walkies with your pup

Although a dryrobe is made primarily for those who take part in open-water swimming and watersports to help them dry off and give them enough room to get changed, dryrobes have grown in popularity with dog walkers and lovers of exploring the great outdoors. This is due to its weatherproof design, with its waterproof outer and fluffy inner. The inside of the coat will help you to stay super warm and will make you feel like you're being hugged like a fluffy cloud as you walk with your pooch and you'll also be shielded from any showers as it's made using water-repellent technology. The dryrobe also gets brownie points from us for being produced with 100 per cent recycled fabrics.

The dryrobe comes in 18 different colours, with the brighter colours available being a great choice to improve your visibility when you're out walking on frosty mornings or foggy evenings. It's also available in sizes S, M, L and XL but keep in mind that's designed to have an oversized fit to allow room for people to get changed underneath so you may find it to be slightly too chunky to wear for a quick stroll around the block. Based on over 17,000 reviews, the dryrobe is rated highly for the fit and length as well as the warmth and waterproofing it offers, which is why it averages at 4.9 stars out of 5. 19 per cent of reviews rave about the overall quality of it too.
