Weather Cheater coat is made in the US of 100% North American alpaca fiber. It has been carefully designed to mimic the benefits of an alpaca's own fleece & will protect against cold, wind and severe weather for many seasons. The natural fiber allows the skin to "breath", reducing sweating and easing temperature fluctuation.

The Weather Cheater silently hugs the body against drafts, without crinkling or flapping. Its neutral scent is more easily accepted, doesn't interfere with bonding. The three sizes: newborn, youth and adult, have been generously sized to fit a range of animals shorn or in full fleece. Reflective patches make it easier to find your new cria or convalescent adult in low light.

Uses: The Weather Cheater may be used on newborns to guard against hypothermia: may be applied even before crias are fully dry. Support an older adult by complementing their minimal fleece: or aiding thin individuals to retain body heat. The Weather Cheater may also be used on freshly shorn animals or during a chilly transport.

Care instructions: May be machine washed in warm -not hot- water, and air dried. We recommend perfume and dye-free detergents and no fabric softener.

Caution: While Fenwick's Weather Cheater is made of breathable material, we do not recommend its use during warm weather, as heat stress could result. Please monitor the body temperature of any blanketed animal in ambient temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
