Were you curious about the jacket I had on in yesterday's post? It is the Kurgo Surf N Turf Coat - a dog lifevest, rain coat and winter coat all in one.
Kurgo makes the Surf N Turf Life Jacket/Coat as part of their Outdoor Gear product line. It is intended for active dogs who love to adventure in the outdoors. You know I love my outdoor adventures so I thought this was just perfect!
As some of you noticed yesterday, it has two traverse handles on the back for quick control and extraction from the water. It also has two metal D-rings for connecting your leash and the reflective shell is waterproof. And for those of you whose pet parents like an adult beverage while on an adventure, the Surf N Turf Life Jacket/Coat has a bottle opener.
Are you wondering how a lifevest can also be a coat? The lifevest has a zippered area on the back where you can remove the flotation layer. The flotation material pulls out in one piece very easily and, though Ma worried about this...it went back in just as easily.
What I really like about the Kurgo Surf N Turf Life Jacket/Coat is that even with the flotation material inside, it is not as bulky as my old lifevest. I am hoping that this will also make it a bit less hot to wear, as canoeing on open water in Florida can be a scorcher. In the past, I would get so hot Ma would have to remove my lifevest and that is just not safe.
Since it does not get too cold down here, I may not need to wear this as a Winter coat but it will definitely be helpful when we are camping and it starts to rain. At least part of me will stay dry.
I think this is a great product for those of you who are outdoor adventure dogs living in the cooler climates. You would then have a jacket for your Summer water adventures as well as your Winter snow fun.
As you can see, I haven't been canoeing yet this season so I could only try it out on the dock. Since I am not a dock-diver, I did not give this a swim test. But I can tell you that I can move around very comfortably with the Kurgo Surf N Turf on.
My friends at Kurgo and I thought this would be a great holiday gift for your favorite adventure dog. Kurgo has offered for one lucky Oz the Terrier reader to win a Surf N Turf Life Jacket (U.S. only). One winner will be chosen at random on December 12, 2014.
The Oz Lifevest Giveaway is hosted on Kurgo's website CLICK HERE (or you can click the graphic below). I sure hope you run over and try your paw at winning one. I know it will make your favorite adventure dog a happy pup this holiday!

That looks like a great vest Oz. Kurgo makes good products. Thanks for the great review!
ReplyDeleteLove it and yes, you look fantastic in it! Great review!
ReplyDeleteit does look like a great product for an active dog - it doe seem a little short on you though....if it is being used as a winter jacket we think if it was a little longer it would keep you warmer and dryer in the rain
ReplyDeleteYou look pawsirtively adorable in your jacket! Good luck to all my U.S pals with this giveaway!!
