Yes, they are absolutely wonderful...great on your back and helps keep you from getting soaked. Everyone I have talked into getting one, is very, very pleased with the purchase. I got mine about 10 years ago or when they first came out. Costco in our area is selling them now for about $160....I paid over $300 for mine years ago. I have never had a dog tip it over.
