This goat coat is the best accessory for cold, wet weather. Especially for shoulder season packers who may get into snow, this goat shell is the best thing available.

On trail it doubles as a pannier cover to keep goat, saddle, and gear dry.
Here is a great article talking about the other equipment you will need. Here is a really nice YouTube Video on how I set my hunting camps.

These coats are great! Very lightweight and pack down small, so I can take them on any trip just in case of wind and rain. My goats spent all day and the following night in them on a recent trip when rain storms just kept rolling through the area, and they never shifted or rubbed or caused any other issues. They gave me the peace of mind I needed to get some sleep during a long rainy night knowing my goats would not get soaked if they weren’t sharing space under their tarp. Have not tried using them as pack covers yet but it’s nice to know I could!
