Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Cooling Dog Vest – Maximum Cooling Coverage with UPF 50+

Product Description

This cooling vest uses a three-layer evaporative cooling system to help keep active dogs comfortable in high heat. Wetting the vest activates cooling, while light fabric and reflective mesh help reflect heat and protect your pup, perfect for hot-weather adventures.

Materials

Component	Material
Outer Layer	Polyester air mesh (bluesign approved)
Middle Layer	Polyester felt
Lining	Dry-weave polyester mesh (bluesign approved)
Buckles	ITW Nexus Waveloc side-release (bluesign approved)
Zipper	YKK Vislon

How to Use

Usage instructions:

Soak & Activate: Wet the vest to initiate the cooling effect via evaporative technology.
Easy Application: Slip over head and secure buckles, or zip on the Zip version, for a snug, cooling fit.
Leash Compatibility: Use the leash portal to attach to most harnesses for tethered walks.
Recharge & Reuse: When dry, simply re-soak to renew cooling power.

Additional Information

Precautions

Wet Only: Requires moisture to function, but is ineffective when dry.
Snug Fit: The Zip variant is form-fitting, may be too tight for barrel-chested or short-legged breeds.
PFAS Consideration: Some models may contain PFAS; shipping restrictions apply in certain states.
Machine Wash Guidance: Wash in cold water, gently cycle, use mild detergent, and air dry only.

Cooling Performance Based on Climate:

Dry heat (low humidity, ~30%): Cools up to 15°F below ambient temperature.
Humid heat (high moisture, ~70%): Cooling is lighter, around 6°F.
Very high humidity (~100%): Little to no cooling effect, as evaporation is limited.

The lower the humidity, the better the cooling. Ideal for dry or breezy climates.

Benefits

Effective Cooling: The three-layer system delivers superior evaporative cooling for hot days.
Sun Protection: UPF 50+ rated outer materials shield from harmful UV rays.
High Coverage: Relaxed vest covers a large surface area; Zip version offers form-fitting coverage.
Easy On/Off: Vest uses side buckles; Zip model fastens quickly with a zipper closure.
Visible & Safe: Reflective trim and light-loop enhance visibility during low-light scenarios.
