Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Dog Cooling Vest
When shade is low and the mercury is high, dogs can count on the Swamp Cooler to help get them outside. Strategic material choices and design offer solutions for the challenges that warm-weather exploring presents. The light-colored fabric reflects solar radiation and provides shading while wetting the vest activates our Swamp Cooler™ Tech for that refreshing, just-stepped-out-of-a-lake feeling also known as evaporative cooling. Just give it a soak, put it on your dog, and go. When it dries, re-soak it to recharge it.
The Swamp Cooler Vest includes side-release buckles for easy on/off and a leash portal so it can be worn over a harness – topping off the essential features to make it our highest-coverage cooling option in the Swamp Cooler™ Collection.
What's New: We updated the external air mesh for improved abrasion resistance and improved water absorption, and we developed a new construction that retains more water in high-exposure zones on the vest for a longer charge.
How to Use
Heat waves and sweltering summer days are upon us. And with our Swamp Cooler™ Collection, you and your dog can say yes to getting out more this summer rather than staying in.
Ruffwear cooling gear is designed to help manage hot temps with the help of evaporative cooling. All you have to do is get the cooling gear wet, and evaporative cooling takes care of the rest. And if it dries while you're out, just re-wet it with a water bottle or a quick dip in a stream to recharge.
How Does it Work?
When you step out of a lake, you may notice a cool feeling when your skin first hits the air. That's evaporative cooling.
Since dogs don't sweat the same as humans, our cooling gear uses our three-layer Swamp Cooler™ Tech construction to absorb water and facilitate evaporation. It's that evaporation that helps cool the surface temp of your dog.
