My two don't wear their equafleece sweaters outdoors - I put them on when we come home from wet walks (and believe me, that's most of them....can't keep them away from the sea or any water for that matter). I only bought them a couple of months ago and honestly can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. Jake loves to roll around on my cream rug and sofa throw when he's wet....but there's none of that now - pop the sweaters on when they get home and they both settle straightaway. Take them off a few hours later, they're warm & toasty and dry. I know they're not cheap, but personally I think they're worth the money - a lot of cheaper versions aren't polartec fleece, don't wick the moisture away from the dogs, and will likely fall apart with repeated use.
