AniMac Super Jacket Design & Details – Calf, Sheep, Goat and Alpaca Coats

AniMac Super Jacket Design & Details – Calf, Sheep, Goat and Alpaca Coats

AniMac Super Jackets are waterproof, insulated animal coats designed for calves, sheep, goats, and alpacas. With a tough 600D outer shell, 0.441 pounds synthetic fill, and breathable polyester lining, they keep livestock warm and dry in cold, wet conditions. Available in five sizes (XS–XL), they’re trusted by farmers worldwide to reduce calf losses, improve growth, and protect valuable animals through winter.

Materials & Construction

  • Outer Fabric: 600D Polyester with PU 3000/3000 coating – waterproof, breathable, and windproof.

  • Inner Lining: 210D breathable polyester that won’t hold moisture.

  • Insulation: 0.441 pounds synthetic fill that stays warm even if damp.

  • Durability: Waterproofed stitching with reinforced webbing straps, hook-and-loop front closure, and plastic clips all around.

Temperature Range & Climate Suitability

  • Use when temperatures drop below 54–59 °F, the lower limit of the calf thermoneutral zone.

  • Ideal for US winters, whether in barns or on pasture.

  • Waterproof outer keeps rain and snow out, while vapour escapes into the hollow synthetic fill — preventing chill and keeping animals warm and dry.

Sizes & Fit

  • Five sizes available: XS (20"), Small (22"), Medium (24"), Large (28"), XL (32").

  • For Calves: Covers both dairy and beef breeds from premature to 3+ months old. Most calves will use M (24") and L (28").

  • For Sheep, Goats & Alpacas: Sizes also fit lambs, goat kids, and alpacas, with adjustable leg loops to fine-tune the fit across different body shapes.

  • Fit: Measure along the back (neck to tail). Chest girth is sometimes used in the US, but length gives the most accurate fit.

  • Adjustability: Easy-adjust belly straps with tri-slide adjusters; removable/replaceable leg straps with plastic clips.

How to Measure for the Right Fit

To choose the correct Super Jacket size, measure your animal along the back length (a) from neck to tail. This is the key fit measurement. You can also check:

  • Chest to rear (b) – how much coverage the coat gives underneath.

  • Depth (c) – how far down the side of the body the coat sits.

  • Neck gap – the space at the front of the chest/shoulder for comfort.

These four points ensure the jacket fits securely while still allowing natural movement for walking, lying, and feeding.
