Dog-Walking Wonder

The K-Rosco Dog Walking Utility Jacket, produced by Wilson-based Let’s Go Design, Inc., just might be the cat’s meow—make that the dog’s bark—for exercising Fido in every season of the year.

According to the Daily Kibble (“The inside poop on the latest, greatest, hottest, and coolest everything for pets”), the K-Rosco jacket “… is one-of-a-kind and pure genius. Made just for dog walkers, it boasts every feature we could ever need, and have long waited for.”

The unique, four-season utility jacket features a durable shell made of waterproof, wind resistant, seam-sealed nylon rip-stop material. (Note that it’s not water-resistant, but waterproof—which means it’s good for walking the dog, but not for your own vigorous exercise.) The zip-out liner is made of soft fleece and doubles as an additional jacket, and the sleeves can also easily be zipped off, creating a lightweight vest for summer use.

The jacket is specifically designed to handle just about any encounter you may have while walking your dog. Standout features include extractable pick-up bags (refillable), a leash belt and extra leash, two carabiners that provide the capacity to walk hands free, and a lined and removable plastic pocket for treats. There’s also reflective piping on the seams for nighttime visibility, a retractable key chain, and an adjustable hood with a water-dispersing visor that folds into the collar. And the jacket simply brims with sizable pockets, both external and internal.

The K-Rosco Dog Walking Utility Jacket retails for $250. For more information, visit www.letsgodesign.net or call (307) 690-4085. Like Let’s Go Design president Marg Shadid says, “As you might imagine, with a ‘start-up, I-do-everything company’ I am usually around … unless, of course, I am out walking my dogs!”
