AWESOME
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
Wallace doesn't look much like a Berner or a Golden-he's solid black and blends in with tree trunks and pavement alike. It gets dark early up here, too. This jacket is perfect for visibility, and he doesn't mind wearing it at all. He doesn't get hot wearing it, either, which is great. He wears a large, adjusted pretty snugly because I anticipate him getting bigger across his chest still (he's almost 18 months and about 80 pounds). I recommend RuffWear to everyone who asks where I get his gear!

Excellent
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
We live in an area of winding roads with no sidewalks and no lighting. Visibility is essential for evening walks. These jackets are perfect. They are so easy to adjust to fit, so quick to put on and remove. And they are very effective, especially with the addition of the beacon. (We bipeds also wear reflective gear.) Driver's comments so far have been, "Love your dog-walking outfits, amazing," and "Wow, I can see you guys, awesome."

Date of Review: 12/17/2012
We kick up our paws in: Boston, MA
My canine companion(s): big mutt
yay!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
Brilliant product! I bought a large one for my 90lb boy and one in medium to use for a friend's 45/50lb dog, primarily for mountain biking during hunting season and running in the evening. The jackets are bright, water-repellent, durable, and fit well. The size difference between the medium & large is substantial, but they're highly adjustable. Stan hates jackets, but forgets about the track jacket quickly; maybe it's good that the large is on the small side, so it doesn't cover him as much? Whatever...it's still extremely visable! I'm psyched about this purchase. (Just don't think that the "beacon" light will stay attached to it if you don't use more than the clip to attach it!)

I love this jacket. My black lab runs about 18 miles a week with me, and now that we have turned teh clocks back, it is dark when we run. He wears his track jacket with a clip on light, and he is easy to spot from quite a distance. It fits great and doesn't slip/slide around on him, or affect his running in any way. Highly recommended for running when the sun goes down

The orange vest is great when I take my dog out on evening runs. We run many miles and the vest doesn't bother him at all. I'm much more comfortable knowing my dog is not blending into the night sky and he is visible to traffic. It goes great with his ruffwear leash.

Great product, Highly Recommended
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
The Track Jacket is bright, sturdy, and very well made. It took me a second to make sure the fit was right but once done it stayed in place as Gracie ran through woods and brush. And since I'm writing this during deer season, I felt much more comfortable about letting her run free on our property. I will recommend this product to friends and will look at more Ruffwear products.

This makes my leaf colored dog visible in the fall. I added the beacon light to it to make him visible at night. He's tough on it- he snaggs it on branches and rolls in it. It does occasionally slide to one side, but the buckle and elastic strap hold it on him.

Perfect for hiking during hunting season!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
We bought this for both our dogs for the fall and spring, so we can hike safely with him during hunting season here in CO. The coats fit perfectly on both dogs (we bought mediums for both- one is 40lbs, the other is 65lbs). The track jacket is high-quality and the stitching is very sturdy. We bought the orange to stick out in the heavy tree cover and snow, and man does the color stick out! It's definitely not a color you'd miss. It's nice and bright without being obnoxious. Both dogs seem comfortable with them on, and we haven't had any issues. Easy to adjust, easy to take on and off, etc. Would definitely buy these again, but knowing RuffWear's quality, we won't have to.

I bought the light to attach to the back and even in deep twilight in the woods she is very visible. Very impressed with the overall construction, fit and durability of this jacket!

Excellent design, top notch
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I'm a gear snob. My dog is not. However, he does appreciate when a piece of dog gear just plain works, which is the case with the Track Jacket. I got it for visibility in the woods, and the orange is super bright--perfect for trail running during hunting season. The straps secure in just the right places and the design ensures nothing dangles. It's also designed to breathe well, with mesh underneath and small foam sections that create space between the mesh and the top later. Only room for improvement: A pouch for my key and ID would be great to have.

I ordered this mostly for when I take my dog for night walks around our neighborhood--perfect for that use. Highly visible, easy to put on and not warm/heavy which is perfect for hot summer nights. Hazel wears the green jacket and I'm very pleased with it. A medium fit her (she's a 60 lb shepherd mix with a deep chest and narrow waist).

I got this for my GS as when off-leash he sometimes takes off after deer or to say hello to another dog as he is very friendly. I thought with this on I could at least see him through the thick trees when on a hike. I got the Orange color and am so very happy I did. Now I and everyone can easily see him and it gives us such relief and peace of mind. The only thing was when he went in water part of the reflective tape is coming off. I guess this jacket isn't meant for water. Though every other part of the jacket is holding up very well. I would highly recommend this product in orange.

High quality, well designed
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I have both dogs in the orange vests as we wander the logging roads for hours at a time and it is important that they are very visible both for myself and others. Shady area? In deep tree cover? No problem! I can always see my dogs. Not only are these high visibility, they are easy to adjust and I have had to do so without removing them from the dog.. We do a lot of offroading and go through lots of very brushy areas and have never had a problem with the dogs hanging up on anything or the vest being damaged. They are so easy to remove before putting the dogs back in the car even though I am holding both leashes at once. These are a must have item, especially during hunting season!

I've purchased a number of items from Ruffwear over the years and have yet to be disappointed. This jacket is well made and fits my dog well. The green and reflective materials make it easy to see her at night. Adding the light to it makes her even easier to find when we're out walking on-lease after dark. My only suggestion would be to add even more reflective material to the jacket.

Orange is awesome
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
The orange is extremely easy to see. The green blends in too well with the snow, shadows, and most objects. It lacks the 80's neon of the orange. The only way to improve the orange would be to have the same cut as the overcoat jacket. This would give the added benefit of more coloring on the chest of the dog. I also prefer the buckle system of the overcoat/quinzee coats.

My dogs like to run with me, and weekdays that either means before or after work. A good part of the year, that means in total darkness. The vest, with the attached red light, makes us all more visible. Initially, they did not want to put the vests on, but they now associate them with getting out - and can't wait to wear them.

Because of the fact that my dog is red coated he is not very visible in the forest/woods during fall/winter time here in North Cal. I've purchased the Orange Blaze color and I wasn't sure at first if it will work, or if maybe the Fern Green was better. However, I've received the jacket and I like it a lot. I'm very pleased (as always) with the quality and the fit. Also a good feature of the jacket is the loop where you can attach the light to it and it will never slide to the side because it sits on the top of the jacket.

This is the greatest thing ever! We have used it almost daily since it arrived. Hiking during hunting season, night time walks, and just plain increasing visibility! I also got the beacon and attached it to the jacket. Finally, Ansel is visible in the woods. The material is super durable and I love that the clips don't rub against him. Also, the reflective tape is VERY easy to see. It practically glows. Thanks Ruff Wear!

My girls have been wearing their blaze orange vests for about 4-5 years now. I have the older style and it has worn well, despite getting caught on barbed wire and wo-knows-what- the ripstop nylon works. Side benefit is that my cairn is the color of forest duff and now I can see her from a distance. Got the vests for hunting season because one dog looks like a squirrel and the other looks like a deer. These are very well made, have lasted forever.

Have had one of these for two years now. Have been buying orange vests for hiking during huntings season for 30 years now. all others have fallen apart after one season. That's if the dog's don't lose them in the woods with the velcro ripping loose. This one is unbelievably superior to all others. Tried 6 or 7 brands now. The one that is two years old looks like brand new. Buckles stay secure. Dog is comfy. Am about to order another one.

We attached an LED strobe light for when we stay out past dark, and along with the reflective striping she is super visible!

Don't let my black shepherd go into the woods this time of year without it. I have attached the Blackburn Flea tail light to the Ruffwear Loop for added visibility at dusk & dark. Whether on an urban ride or trail blazing I'm comfortable the dog won't be shot or hit by conscious people...So now I only have to watch out for the less than conscious idiots! Everydog should wear a track jacket during the hunting month's period!

I got this initially for our early morning winter runs, since it's so dark out and even though I'm lit up like a christmas tree, some people still don't see me on the road. This worked to great, I now use it for our off the leash evening walks too. My dog is really dark and disappears in the dark, even with a torch but with this on, she's easy to spot. I was initially worried that it might bug her, since she doesn't like coats but not with this.

I have a big furry black Newfoundland service dog, Orka. Ppl are continuously screaming "Bear!" Some black bear were caught nearby. So I bought the bright orange Ruffwear Track Jacket and Beacon as Orka's "I am not a bear" indicators. Indispensable. Use it for all outdoor walks now unless he is wearing his drafting / skijoring / backpack / service / life jacket / vests etc. Put the Beacon on everything. The Track Jacket is short on long lean Newf but the visibility is excellent. Orka also swims across rivers with it on and it is holding up well.

Hunters don't mistake them for wolves/coyotes; seeing the vests puts people at ease when we meet up with them on the trail; the vests help me spot our dogs when wandering around (they wander a little farther than most breeds) while out in the woods. They're secure, comfortable, and don't twist around!

I have owned this jacket for awhile. It has a lot of great things going for it. Easy to clean, highly visible...I am finding that it sits sideways on my dog alot. I think a better design would be like the canine overcoat (which is our favorite jacket) that clicks on both sides underneath. I have tried making it tighter and looser but he seems to always wear it sideways. If anyone has any suggestions to make it wear "straight" I am open. I love ruffwear products and if they made a track jacket with the new design I would definitely buy one.

I bought the Track Jacket for Max because we are out exploring all year round, in all kinds of weather and we love it! It's the only one I've seen that doesn't attach to his collar which means it doesn't rotate to one side of his body. The reflective material is awesome at night and the orange is perfect for visibility during hunting season. The two layers of material are light-weight but it might be a little too warm for him on a warm fall day.

We got this mostly as a safety measure for hiking during hunting season, but it's also great for keeping track of him in low-light situations.
He's gone wading in it, crashed through brush, barrelled through the snow...fairly rough usage, and it certainly holds up.
It does slide a bit sideways on him, but that may be a size/adjustment issue (he's short, but has a long torso and a barrel chest)

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
The track jacket is fantastic! I bought it for Willie, my lab/pit mix. He loves to go hiking and is a complete gear dog. In the woods, it enhances his visibility even in heavy under brush. With the days getting shorter I added a beacon to it and put it on him when we go to the local parks. I can keep track of him, and as important, other people in the park can see him so there is no opportunity to be startled.
One other thing: I believe that if I should ever lose him in the woods, any one that found him would immediately realize that he is a cared for dog based on the fact that he has a reflective jacket on. My hope would be that the finder would make an extra effort to locate me. Ella will be getting a jacket next....

Only gripe is they are a bit short to provide full rain protection, but I know that whippets are unusually proportioned

We like this coat to keep our dog visable in the field, he is a liver roan color and blends in with the brush. The only thing I would recommend is a stomach shield for working dogs running in the brush, going through fences, etc. Overall am happy with this coat--just needs more protection for serious bird dogs. Gives good visability and has reflective stripes. I use it for running in the dark. Good fit also-Shorthairs are hard to fit with their large breast and small withers.

I got this for my mostly black German Shepherd Marley in November 2008. We've used it on nearly all walks since then because I usually walk her at night.

We also have the Beacon light and I love the clip for it on the back. TJ fits great, is easily adjustable and stays on like a charm. Marley doesn't even notice it, except when she sees it and wants to go for a walk. The only thing I'd change on TJ is to have more of the reflective piping. If you go for walks in the dark, TJ is a must have!!!
