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.

    Love this vest

    The RuffWear zip cooling vest fits under my dog's harness and really helps keep her cool. I feel like I can walk her when it is hotter outside with less worry now. Yesterday we went from trail to training just fine. I am grateful for such a well-made product!

    Best Summer Purchase

    My 30# dog now has help getting through the Texas heat. Dip it in water, zip it on and the cooling vest does the rest. It's like turning down the heat of a hot-flavored enchilada. It gets her through an 85 degree walk. She doesn't wilt, but Sharlee still looks for the finish line. It's mama's little helper. So glad I purchased the dog vest!

    Perfect

    The cooling vest absolutely fulfills its purpose. It stays cool for a long time, despite high temperatures. It is super easy to use and does not disturb the dog at all, even under the harness. Recommended purchase!

    Fantastic

    Bought for our rather hairy German shepherd in the last heat we had, while ruffwear kindly had an offer on, safe to say we have a very cool floof now, it’s great, easy to use (when said floof cooperates with putting it on and zipping her in) but cannot fault the quality or the the fact it does what it says, it stays soggy, stays cool, looks great 😊
