Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Vest Biolumin Blue

£94.95

KEEP THE ADVENTURE GOING WHATEVER THE TEMPERATURE

Hot weather slows a lot of dogs down, but it does not have to, and the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Vest in Biolumin Blue is built to close that gap. Three layers of carefully engineered fabric draw water from the absorbent middle layer, release it through the wicking outer layer, and disperse the resulting evaporation as heat, giving dogs consistent thermal relief for the duration of each soak cycle. Side-release buckles make it quick to put on and take off, and the leash portal on the back means it works alongside most harnesses without requiring a choice between cooling and control.

Why it's a great choice

  • Three-layer evaporative cooling construction: An outer wicking layer that reflects heat and provides UPF 50+ protection, an absorbent middle layer that stores water for continuous evaporation, and a comfortable mesh lining against the dog's body for a dry, breathable fit.

  • Swamp Cooler Tech for active, ongoing cooling: The evaporative mechanism mimics the body's natural heat dispersal process, pulling surface temperature down through moisture evaporation and maintaining relief for as long as the fabric stays damp.

  • Side-release buckles for practical daily use: Side-release buckles allow the vest to be put on and removed quickly, even on an active or impatient dog, and the process is straightforward whether the vest is wet or dry.

  • Leash portal for harness-compatible wear: The portal on the back allows a lead to be attached through the vest to a harness underneath, meaning cooling and control are available simultaneously without additional kit decisions.

Key benefits for your Dog

  • Reflects solar radiation before cooling begins: The light-coloured, UPF 50+ outer layer reflects incoming solar radiation rather than absorbing it, reducing heat load before the evaporative cooling cycle has to do any work.

  • UPF 50+ sun protection across the vest's coverage: The wicking outer layer protects the dog's back and sides from ultraviolet exposure during extended periods of outdoor activity in direct sun.

  • Extends exercise capacity in warm conditions: By actively managing body temperature during activity, the vest allows dogs to remain comfortable and engaged in warm weather conditions that would otherwise require shortened or cancelled exercise sessions.

  • Compatible with most existing harness setups: The leash portal makes this a practical addition to any dog's warm-weather kit rather than a replacement for their usual harness, integrating cooling without disrupting normal walking and lead arrangements.

A three-layer evaporative cooling vest in vibrant Biolumin Blue, ideal for warm-weather hikes, summer walks, and any adventure where keeping a dog cool and active is the priority.

What you'll need:
A soft tape measure
A calm dog (treats help!)
A friend to assist (optional, but handy!)

You will need to measure your dog's chest girth.

Chest Girth (Widest Part of Rib Cage):

Find the widest part of your dog’s ribcage—usually just behind the front legs. Wrap the tape measure around this area to get the chest girth.

Tip: Keep the tape snug but not tight. You should be able to slip one or two fingers between the tape and your dog’s body.

Measuring Tips for Best Results:
Keep your dog calm and standing upright. Ask a friend to help and use treats or toys to keep them relaxed.
For fluffy dogs, part or gently press down the fur to get an accurate measurement close to the body.
Measure more than once to make sure your numbers are consistent.

Please measure your dog carefully against the size guide before ordering. Not sure which size to choose? Message us on live chat and we'll help you pick. Returns due to sizing issues are at the customer's own cost.
