Why Waterproof Biothane Accessories are better for your Walks

Why Waterproof Materials Matter for Your Walks

As the weather shifts and showers become more frequent, your daily walks with your furry friend bring new challenges - mud, puddles, damp grass and wet paws. It’s during these wetter months that your pet gear must work harder - looking good, standing up to the elements, and staying hygienic. That’s why we at Trinkety Paws choose to make the majority of our products with BioThane® webbing - the perfect partner for rainy-season readiness.

What is BioThane®?

BioThane® is a coated webbing material where a strong polyester core is wrapped in a protective PVC or polyurethane layer. This gives the material the flexibility and strength of webbing + the water-resistant, wipe-clean finish of a premium synthetic.

4 Reasons BioThane® is a Game-Changer this time of year

1. Truly Waterproof – Not Just “Weather-Resistant”

Rain, puddles, wet grass – no problem. BioThane® doesn’t absorb water or get heavy, meaning it stays smooth, flexible, and comfortable no matter the forecast. While other materials soak and stretch, BioThane® keeps its shape and colour beautifully, ready to grab and go again.

2. Wipe-Clean & Always Fresh

Muddy walk? No stress. BioThane® is completely non-porous, so dirt and grime simply wipe away with a damp cloth. No lingering smells, no drying time, no cracked leather - just a clean, ready-to-use collar or lead every single time.

3. Built for the Elements

From country lanes to coastal paths, BioThane® thrives where others fade. It resists salt, mud, and moisture, keeping its strength and finish season after season. Perfect for adventurous dogs and owners who don’t let the weather decide their plans. For your coastal walks and adventures, we recommend pairing Biothane® with our Everlast Hardware options, for a long lasting, chip- and rust resistant Biothane Collar or Lead.

4. Hygienic, Odour-Free & Long-Lasting

Because BioThane® doesn’t absorb bacteria, it stays hygienic and odour-free - ideal for dogs who love a good splash. It won’t fray, rot, or grow mould, so your gear stays as smart and safe as the day you bought it.

How That Works with Real Walks

When you take your dog out and the weather’s damp, you want gear that:

• Stays manageable when wet – no stretching or twisting straps.
• Doesn’t become stiff or scratchy after the walk - great for dogs with sensitive skin
• Doesn’t carry the smell of nasties and swamps after being cleaned.
• Looks and feels premium, because you believe your dog deserves nothing less.

Using a product like our BioThane® Dog Collar or Dog Lead makes all the difference: the material stays comfortable, even when soaking wet, and brings practicality. Rain or shine, you’re covered.

Tips for Walking in the Rain

• After the walk: Give the collar and lead a quick rinse if dirty or simply wipe dry.
• Check the hardware occasionally - regular clasps benefit from being rinsed if exposed to salty air or water.
  
• Store your gear as normal, it's good to go again right away.

At Trinkety Paws, we believe your dog’s walk should be full of enjoyment - not hindered by soggy gear or slow-drying collars. With BioThane®, we’ve chosen a material that stands up to the weather and looks beautifully crafted. After all, style and performance can go hand-in-paw.

Happy walking - rain or shine.
