Introducing the Climate Changer™ Vest and Jacket
Changing seasons means unpredictable weather patterns. Days that start frosty at the trailhead, warm up with the sun, and dip back to cool when you’re packing up camp can be challenging to plan for. Ruffwear’s new Climate Changer™ Vest and Jacket are built to adapt to any climate, perfect for when your dog needs warmth that moves, breathes, and flexes with the forecast.
Both the Climate Changer™ Vest and Jacket feature an active fit and are cut from 100% recycled polyester fleece, providing your pup with essential warmth without the bulk. They can be worn on their own in cool, clear conditions or layered under a shell for full-weather protection.
Let’s dive into what sets each apart, from the sleeveless, easy-on versatility of the Climate Changer™ Vest to the full-coverage, zip-up performance of the Climate Changer™ Jacket.
Climate Changer™ Fleece Vest
The Climate Changer™ Fleece Vest delivers warmth while maximizing movement. Its streamlined vest silhouette is our most accommodating fit for the widest range of dog sizes, shapes, and breeds. The extended coverage over the hips and thighs helps seal in heat, while side-release buckles make for quick on/off.
The leash portal on the back makes for easy wear over most harnesses, and optional stretch leg loops keep it secure when the wind picks up. Reflective trim and a light-loop for The Beacon™ add low-light visibility for early morning or late night adventures.
From chilly morning scrambles to late-season hikes, the Climate Changer™ Vest keeps your dog moving comfortably and layers effortlessly when the weather turns.
Climate Changer™ Fleece Jacket
The Climate Changer™ Fleece Jacket is ideal for when temperatures drop and you want more coverage. Articulated sleeves and an active fit let your dog move naturally, while the full-length zipper locks in warmth. The fur guard along the zipper makes for smooth, snag-free gearing up so you can quickly zip up and get out there.
Two leash portals — one on the chest and one on the back — allow for wear over most harnesses, and reflective trim and a light loop for The Beacon™ create visibility in low-light conditions.
Choosing the Right Climate Changer™
Wondering which Climate Changer™ you should choose? For hard-to-fit dogs (think corgis, bullies, and other breeds with broad shoulders or deep chests) and a lighter, layerable option, go for the Climate Changer™ Vest. If you’re looking for full coverage, more warmth, and a zip-up fit, opt for the Climate Changer™ Jacket.
Whichever you choose, the Climate Changer™ series is engineered to help dogs cover more miles, climb higher ridgelines, and stay in their element when the temperature dips.
