A 20,000/20,000 waterproof-breathability specification, taped seams, stable adjustments, drainage, and packability create the most complete hiking shell; review evidence is limited.

Fjord raincoat 2.0 is worth considering if best overall for sustained wet-weather hiking is your priority in wet-weather trail protection. Check fit, current price, and retailer availability before buying.
Skip it if the leash opening is intended for a short harness rather than a collar attachment is a dealbreaker, or if your pet needs a different fit, size range, or retailer return policy.

Hurtta
Hurtta combines a water column above 10,000 mm, fully taped seams, a soft woven lining, an adjustable RainStopper collar, and wide belly coverage. It offers a well-evidenced balance of weather protection and warmth for colder rain, though it costs more and packs less compactly than an unlined shell.
Hurtta
The Mudventure is a thin, unlined shell made from recycled 100D polyester with a waterproof laminate and fully taped seams. It folds small, seals its harness opening, and stays stable with rear leg loops, making it the most backpack-friendly option here; it deliberately provides no insulation.
Canada Pooch
Canada Pooch uses fully seam-sealed construction plus chest, belly, and leg coverage to target heavy rain. A side zipper, fit toggles, and waterproof harness-access zipper add convenience, but the brand does not publish a numeric hydrostatic-head rating or an aggregate review signal for this model.
GF PET
GF PET combines a waterproof polyurethane shell, reversible styling, a tackable hood, reflectivity, and patented Elasto-Fit construction that avoids lifting the dog's legs. It is easy and comparatively affordable, but it lacks published waterproof-breathability test values and a dedicated harness portal.
Rukka Pets
Hayton Eco has the clearest technical rain-shell specification here: a 15,000 mm water column, 15,000 g/m²/24h breathability, taped important seams, a water-repellent surface treatment, and breathable mesh lining. Back length, waist, and collar adjust, while a two-way zip closes the harness opening and rear leg straps stabilize the hem. The page says the product contains recycled materials, but its material line states 100% polyester without publishing a recycled-content percentage.
Rukka Pets
Protect Overall extends waterproof stretch fabric over the torso and legs, with taped seams, a waterproof back zip, covered leash opening, 5,000 mm water column, high adjustable collar, adjustable waist, and touch-fastening leg ends. The 96% polyester and 4% elastane shell supports movement while limiting rain and mud entry. Full-leg coverage requires more careful measuring and acclimation than a cape-style coat, and the page does not publish a breathability figure.
