Sizing Chart

Ruffwear's apparel features an active, tailored fit that hugs close to your dog's body, designed to move with their natural range of motion. Measurement is determined by your dog’s chest girth, measured around the widest part of the rib cage. Coverage may fit slightly shorter or longer depending on your dog’s proportions. If between sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit, or down for a more snug fit.

The Swamp Cooler Zip™ is a lightweight, streamlined solution for keeping dogs cool on hot-weather adventures. The snug-fitting vest with our Swamp Cooler™ Tech in the chest and belly panel uses moisture to help pull body surface heat away through evaporative cooling. The stretch fabric ensures a close fit for effective cooling and provides UPF 50+ sun protection. Just soak the vest in water, zip on your dog, and go.

How does Swamp Cooler™ Tech work? Learn more here about how that refreshing, just-stepped-out-of-a-lake feeling known as evaporative cooling helps keep your dog cool. Check out the Swamp Cooler™ Collection.

    Great Vest!

    The Swamp Cooler Zip Cooling Vest is the GOAT! I initially bought the vest with the snap closure, and it was good for our Corgi, but she outgrew it. So, this time around, I bought the zip version. Wow! I love the stretchy material and that it is form fitting to her, and I believe it keeps her cooler than the original one we bought. She is double-coated and mostly black and really minds the heat. Putting this vest on her definitely puts the spring back in her step. Thank you, Ruffwear, for making such great products!

    Love the fit. Was a bit awkward to put on at first. But now a breeze.

    Stays cold

    A vest you get wet and it keeps them cooler. Doesn't chafe, fits my greyhound more like a crop top that than shirt but it keeps her cooler, which is what we needed on the 100 degree days in the desert for morning walks.

    Great.

    My 25lb dog is a black pug mix and has a short snout, so she overheats quickly. With this cooling vest (plus a water bottle to give her drinks and re-wet the vest) our hot summer walks are far safer and more enjoyable.
