The goat coats were not made to be reversible but there is no reason you could not use them that way. The gortex is out side and the inner fleece has a water resistant finish.
Sabine is right out the threat of the loose fence. My boys have been behind an electric fence since birth and never seem to touch any fence. My fence loosens up after a couple days of wind and rain and I need to tighten it up occasionally. Probable because I did not get it tight the 1st time. My fear is if some thing spooked the goats they may jump into a fence they otherwise would not touch. There are always so many risks having goats out in the wildness but what are you to do with packgoats? It is so much fun to have them out there with you.
I do have one goat that loves zippers and velcro which happens to be what holds the walls of the EZ-up onto the frame. Some how he does not pull on them enough to damage them or pull them off.
These Oberhasli goats are 180, 204, and 220 lbs, and 38 - 39 inches at shoulders. They learn quick, are very bonded, brave, handsome, and they never quit working on long hikes in nasty weather.
