The Ruffwear Swamp Cooler provides protection from the sun and cooling through evaporation. In warm climates, dogs typically stay cool by seeking shade during the heat of the day and moving around in cooler temperatures. The Swamp Cooler allows dogs to perform in hot climates. To activate the Swamp Cooler, soak in water, wring out and place on your dog. The light-colored fabric reflects solar radiation, while evaporative cooling pulls heat from the dog. The integrated leash portal allows leash attachment when the Swamp Cooler is worn over our Front Range™, Hi & Light™, Flagline™ or Web Master™ Harnesses.

See it in Action
With the help of Ruffwear dog Ellie and FLIR thermal imaging technology, we put our cooling gear to the test.
BEFORE
Ellie’s external temperature before adding the Swamp Cooler Vest was 106° F / 41 C.
AFTER
Ellie’s external temperature after adding the Swamp Cooler vest was 74.3° F / 23.5 C.
The Swamp Cooler works great for hiking, running, walking, camping, and more casual activities. In addition to helping keep cool through evaporative cooling, it boosts that cooling by offering the maximum amount of shade and thermal protection of our three cooling gear products. The material is rated at 50+ UPF protection (blocks 98% of the sun’s UV rays). The leash portal allows it to be worn over top of all our harnesses and most other harnesses.
