The Derby Originals Reflective Parka is a durable and well-made dog coat that keeps pets warm and dry. However, it has significant usability issues, such as not being compatible with a harness, which may be a deal-breaker for some dog owners.
The coat keeps dogs warm and dry in cold and wet conditions.
The coat cannot be used with a harness, only with a collar.

"I have a long, skinny but barrel chested dog and I finally found jacket that fits. It covers the full length of his back and all the way down to his belly. Nice and warm."
"This coat was exactly what I was looking for however, it CAN NOT be used with a harness, only a collar. The only leash opening is a small hole on the neck above the shoulders. So despite being a great coat it is completely useless for most dog parents."
While the Derby Originals Reflective Parka is a solid winter coat in terms of quality and insulation, the usability issues are significant enough to consider other options, especially if you use a harness with your dog.
