Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Cooling Vest for Dog

When shade is low and the mercury is high, the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Vest keeps the adventure going. Built with strategic materials and maximum coverage, it's Ruffwear's highest-coverage cooling option — designed for the days when the heat is serious and your dog needs real relief. Why the Swamp Cooler Vest? The Swamp Cooler Vest works on two levels simultaneously. The light-coloured outer fabric reflects solar radiation, reducing heat absorbed from direct sun. Wetting the vest activates Swamp Cooler evaporative cooling technology — as moisture evaporates from the middle layer, it draws heat away from your dog's core, creating a refreshing cooling effect that lasts until the vest dries out. Re-soak to recharge it and keep going. A vest-style fit provides maximum coverage and shade across the dog's back and sides, and a leash portal on the back allows it to be worn over most harnesses without removing the lead. Side-release buckles make it easy to put on and take off quickly between activities. What Makes It Work The three-layer construction is the heart of the product. The outer layer — bluesign approved polyester air mesh — reflects heat and facilitates evaporation. The middle layer — polyester felt — absorbs and holds water to drive the evaporative cooling effect. The lining — bluesign approved dry-weave polyester mesh — wicks moisture away from the dog's skin to keep them comfortable. Buckles are bluesign approved ITW Nexus Waveloc side-release. Zipper is YKK Vislon. Reflective trim and integrated light loop for Ruffwear Beacon attachment. Made in Vietnam. Available in 2 colours × 6 sizes. Suitable For Six sizes (XXS through XL) cover breeds from small to large. Best used in hot, low-humidity conditions where evaporative cooling is most effective. Measure around the widest part of the rib cage to size. This product is non-returnable due to hygiene reasons. How to Use Submerge the vest in water, wring it out thoroughly so it is damp but not dripping. Fit over your dog, thread the leash through the portal if applicable, and fasten the side-release buckles. Re-wet when the vest dries out to recharge the cooling effect. Machine wash on gentle cycle in cold water with mild detergent; secure fasteners before washing. Air dry. Beat the heat — add the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Vest to your cart today.
