The Swamp Cooler Zip efficiently cools dogs during light and fast, high-intensity adventures through shading and evaporative cooling. The light and sleek Swamp Cooler Zip uses shade-providing spandex over the back and Ruffwear’s Swamp Cooler™ tech in the chest panel for an evaporative cooling effect that disperses heat from the dog’s core. To tap into the Swamp Cooler™ tech, soak in water, zip on your dog, and go.

What's New: We updated the Swamp Cooler Zip (formerly known as the Jet Stream) with new materials to hold more water and a longer charge, and new patterning and construction for an improved fit and performance.

    Swamp Cooler Zip for Frenchie

    I have tried the vest only once so far, since it is not that warm every day yet, here in NC. Aveline goes on hikes and walks, and she is heat sensitive. I did notice a big difference. and am very happy with the result. The vest is a bit big, but the smaller one did not fit over her big head. I had those vests before for my other Frenchie and my Boston Terrier, both also avid hikers. Big help for heat sensitive dogs on summer walks/hikes!

    Cool Vest

    This style is perfect for our boxers. Great cooling capacity on the chest for deep chested dogs. Like the added reflective qualities on the new style.

    A must for summer hikes!

    Fits great under a backpack or a harness. Keeps m black GSD cool. Not as bulky as her cooling coat and seems less likely to snag. Fits snug but easy to put on with the side zipper. She is often between sizes in RuffWear and hard to fit. We went with a size large in this. 72lbs, 31.5 “long from collar to base of tail. 31.5” girth
