Yvolon Design Whippet raincoat

Soundtrack: Set fire to the rain - Adele

It's been the wettest June in 50 years here in Stockholm and Bello is like most whippets - he really hates to go out when it's raining - and it is just about as bad when the grass is wet.

The only thing that seems to do well is the rhododendron.



Anyway, we thought it was time to get a good raincoat to Bello and after surfing the net I found www.yvolon.ch, who seem to have different types of whippet stuff and actually a selection of raincoats. I contacted the website through it's mailservice and got a very rapid response from Yvonne, who I think i running the operation. We sent a few mail back and forward about the delivery time (we had a hard date for Yvolon Design to meet) and Yvonne promised to fix it in time - the only drawback was that we wouldn't get the name printed on the side of the raincoat in time.

We chose the 'Nordic' model - a dark softshell outer fabric with a cotton lining. It is MTM (made-to-measure) and Yvonne helped us to get the measures  right. 

The quality of details are very good - would I even dear to say it meets the Swiss quality standards =)


Isn't is an irony that the day we got the raincoat it stopped raining. Bello, kind and gentle as he is, allowed us to take some pictures in the sun anyway.

The fit is perfect, I think the raincoat emphasize the elegance of the whippet


The collar works both unfolded or folded down and it has a opening for the collar


The payment was done using our normal internetbank, and I can't see that we got any extra bank-fee for paying to Switzerland.

The Swiss Franc is frightening expensive right now, so the price of 120 CHF translate into quite a significant sum, plus shipping, but on the other side - the quality promise several years of use.

I recommend the product and the company based on the swift service.
