Mile High Life dog raincoat (XS, Orange) with reflective stripe and adjustable easy step-in closure
Product description
What it is and why you’d buy it
A dog raincoat is basically a simple insurance policy for wet, windy walks. The Mile High Life dog raincoat is designed to help keep your pet drier during poor weather, while still aiming to be comfortable for everyday outings. On paper, it combines waterproofing with breathability, plus a lightweight build so your dog isn’t weighed down when the weather turns.
The standout practical detail here is the easy step-in closure. Instead of wrestling with a lot of complicated fastening, it’s meant to go on and off with minimal fuss. That matters if you’re the sort of person who ends up putting coats on a dog that’s not exactly patient.
The essentials: comfort, fit and safety
The raincoat is built with a lightweight outdoor waterproof fabric, and there’s also a soft inner cotton mesh layer for comfort against your dog’s fur. It’s a small thing, but it can make a difference when the coat sits on skin for the length of a walk.
For fit, you get adjustable velcro closures and an easy setup that’s intended to suit a range of dogs. There’s also a hidden dog hole on the back, for connecting a collar/leash. If you’re used to coats that either block access or force you to thread everything from the front, this arrangement is the kind of detail you’ll appreciate.
Safety-wise, the reflective stripe is the big tell. It’s there to improve visibility when you’re walking at night or in poor visibility. It’s not the same as having a full lighting setup, but it’s a sensible add-on if you regularly walk when it’s dark.
What you’ll notice in daily use (and the limits)
In day-to-day use, the biggest benefit should be convenience: the easy step-in closure and adjustable velcro make it quicker to get on your dog before you step outside. If you’ve ever tried dressing a restless dog with tricky straps, you’ll probably value this.
That said, it’s not a magical “no mess” solution. Even with waterproof fabric, rain can still find ways around gaps depending on your dog’s shape and how the coat sits. So it’s worth thinking about your dog’s build and whether the sizing you choose will actually cover the areas you care about.
You also need to keep expectations realistic around fit and comfort across different breeds. The listing suggests it supports many sizes, but you’ll still want to measure properly rather than relying on “my dog is usually size X”.
Getting the sizing right (don’t skip this)
The product itself emphasises measuring your pet before ordering. The guidance is to measure your dog’s back length, neck, and chest girth and then refer to the size chart before buying. Since this is listed as XS (Orange), that measurement step becomes even more important.
It’s a good fit if your priority is a lightweight, waterproof layer for rainy walks and you’re willing to choose the size carefully. It might not be a great match if your dog’s proportions don’t line up well with the size chart, because an ill-fitting raincoat can shift, rub, or leave parts exposed.

Should you buy it?
If you want a practical waterproof dog jacket for wet-weather walks, with a reflective stripe for night visibility and an easy step-in design, this one makes a lot of sense on paper. It’s particularly appealing for owners who dislike fiddly closures and want something straightforward to put on and adjust.
You may want to skip it if you’re not confident you can measure your dog’s back length, neck, and chest girth accurately, or if your main goal is maximum coverage regardless of fit. Like most rainwear, the result depends quite a lot on getting the sizing right.
