 Out in the rain in my Wander Wrap™ Long with Huxley. | Typist: Bethany As a Cascadian, I am required to tell you that I don't mind the rain. However, that isn't entirely true. I don't mind the usual ten months of constant showers and mist here in Cascadia. I think sideways rain is entertaining. But I don't like torrential, bouncing up off the ground, pouring rain. These kinds of deluges aren't the kind of rain we normally get but it has been happening a lot lately. Fortunately, I bought myself a Wander Wrap™ and a Wander Wrap™ Long from Wander Goods at Christmas time. Now I can actually walk the dogs in a downpour and not get wet! Now, don't get me wrong. I would and have walked the dogs in crazy rainstorms and gotten very wet and survived. But having Wander Wrap™ makes heading out for fit dog time in a |
downpour easier and more convenient. Since I can simply snap my Wander Wrap™ rain skirt around whatever I am already wearing, the dogs and I can just head out any time. And my Wander Wraps™ are not just waterproof, they are also wind proof and very warm. During our unseasonable dry and extremely cold January, wrapping my legs in a Wander Wrap™ was like wearing a blanket out on our fit dog walks. On our recent trip to Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon, my Wander Wraps™ served as excellent wind blockers as well as keeping me dry for the car rides on our road trip. The car still smelled a lot like wet dogs, though. But I like the smell of wet dogs. No. Seriously, I do.

| Having traveled with both of my Wander Wraps™ and having had the opportunity to wear them in some very extreme weather conditions, I highly recommend Wander Goods rain skirts. They are well made and durable. The skirt snaps over whatever you are wearing and has an elastic back that makes it very comfortable. I brought both of my rain skirts on our recent road trip since I wasn't sure how long it would take for them to dry but they went from dripping wet to wearable in a couple of hours. And the nice thing about bringing both skirts is that even my larger, Wander Wrap™ Long packs lightly. The heavy duty plastic zipper closure pockets have room for my dog treat bait bag and my gloves. Speaking of my gloves, that is the only flaw I now have in my awesome fit dog outdoor gear. If anyone has any lightweight, waterproof glove suggestions, I very much appreciate you leaving a comment. |  Staying dry while playing in the yard. |
In conclusion, we all know that weather happens. Rain, sleet, wind, cold, mud and more are all possibilities when out and about with our fit dogs. But we can't let any weather that is safe to be out in stop us from keeping our dogs fit. Sometimes having the right gear can make all the difference in being able to get out and stay out for quality fit fog time. I hope that knowing about Wander Goods Wander Wraps™ rain skirts might help some of you get out more in those March and April and beyond showers with your dog! Your dogs might not stay dry, but you will and, believe me, that makes for more fun fit dog time.
