Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Dog Vest — Evaporative Cooling for Hot Weather Hiking & Camping

$59.95
★★★★★4.6(3,200 reviews)

The Ruffwear Swamp Cooler is the premium evaporative cooling vest for active dogs. Its light-colored fabric reflects solar radiation while the three-layer Swamp Cooler™ tech activates with a quick soak in water — simply wet it, wring it out, and put it on your dog. The vest provides UPF 50+ sun protection across the chest, back, and sides, and a built-in leash portal lets you wear it over any Ruffwear harness. When it dries out (typically 1-2 hours in dry heat), re-soak to recharge. Ideal for summer hiking, camping, trail running, and beach days.
