What is Kiondo?
[Wikipedia] Kiondo is a handwoven bags made from sisal, indigeneous to the Kikuyu and Kamba tribes of Kenya. These Kenyan weavers begin by stripping the sisal plant's outer layers, leaving the plant still able to grow.
What is Sisal?
[Wikipedia] Sisal is a plant cultivated commonly in Africa and South America for its fibre in making ropes, twines, speciality paper, carpets etc. Because of its strength, durability, affinity for certain dye stuffs and resistance to deterioration by saltwater. It has been used as an eco-friendly alternative to man-made material such as asbestos etc. Its ropes and twines are widely employed in marine, agricultural and general industrial use. The higher grade after post processing is converted into yarn and used in the carpet industry.

We used it as a raincoat and it fits snugly on my doggie with the adjustment bands on the inner layer of the jacket. Is easy to wear and well protected from rain except the head. If only it has a longer shield to protect his head, this Hurtta Dog Jacket will be a perfect raincoat for dogs.
