Tahoe Winter Essential:
When temperatures drop and snow blankets the Sierra Nevada, the Vert Jacket keeps your dog comfortable and protected. Whether you're hiking to Emerald Bay in winter, exploring snowy trails, or just walking around town on a frigid morning, this jacket delivers serious warmth without compromising mobility.
Thoughtful Design Features:
The Vert's low-profile design allows full range of motion while providing maximum coverage. The jacket extends over the hindquarters for extra warmth where dogs need it most. Two leash access points (back and chest) accommodate different harness styles, and the secure fit system ensures the jacket stays in place during active movement.
Weather-Resistant Construction:
The durable outer shell is designed to shed snow, resist wind, and repel light rain. The synthetic insulation maintains warmth even when wet, ensuring your dog stays comfortable in changing winter conditions. Reinforced stitching and quality materials ensure this jacket lasts season after season.
Easy On/Off:
Side-release buckles and adjustable straps make it easy to get the jacket on and off, even with cold hands. The secure fit system ensures the jacket won't shift or ride up during activity, while still allowing your dog to move naturally.
Visibility & Safety:
Reflective trim on the jacket ensures your dog remains visible during early morning or evening winter walks when daylight is limited. This added safety feature is crucial for Tahoe's short winter days.
