Gear for Every Moment: Explore Our New Spring/Summer ’26 Collections

The days are getting longer and suddenly there’s so much more time for what matters. Time for longer runs, for bold adventures, for exploring beyond that next bend in the trail. Our dogs know there’s a change in the air, with all kinds of new sniffs and experiences to be had.

We’re welcoming the sunny seasons with three new collections built to support you and your sidekick as you make the most of every moment.

Front Range™ Flex Collection

The Front Range™ Flex Collection is built for everyday exploration and movement, and driven by the idea of less—fewer materials, less waste, and a fit so natural, it’s as close to nothing as we could get. 

Utilizing a new engineered knit construction inspired by athletic footwear, the Front Range™ Flex Collection is lightweight, breathable, flexible, and soft. It’s made for superior comfort through reduced friction and a seamless design that eliminates pressure points, setting motion free for absolute joy in every step.

Front Range™ Flex Collar

Soft and light, the Front Range™ Flex Collar provides connection, all-day comfort, and an athletic-inspired style. Constructed with engineered knit webbing, it delivers on that barely-know-it’s-there feeling.

Front Range® Flex Harness

Does your dog struggle with harness fit? If so, the Front Range® Flex Harness is your new go-to. Available in a XXXS size that’s perfect for tiny pups, with multiple adjustable points that allow for curves and oversized barrel-chests. It’s designed to conform and move with your dog’s body—regardless of their shape or size.

Front Range™ Flex Leash

With a swiveling, lockable Crux Clip™ and engineered knit webbing for a soft hand-feel, this leash is made with responsive material that provides a dynamic source of connection between you and your dog.

Backcountry Collection

There’s a through-line in every piece of gear we make, one that connects generations of dogs and their humans through time-tested design and reliability. It’s the foundation of everything we do—inspired by that first, classic pack that has defined our lives throughout the years. 

Taking from lessons learned through decades of real adventures with that pack, we created a collection that encourages more of what we love. We stayed true to our roots by refining what already works, and incorporated new ideas for making this gear lighter, more adaptable, and yet continuously unaffected by trends—just like we’ve always done it.

Palisades™ Pack

Inspired by our original pack but significantly lighter and more versatile, the Palisades™ Pack features a new, modular “Summit Configuration.” The pack’s saddlebags are removable, turning into a low-profile day pack for summit attempts and side excursions from camp. Molded and perforated EVA foam back and belly panels ensure maximum comfort and breathability.

Palisades™ Poncho

Initially, we designed this poncho for our own dogs. And if you’ve ever tried to burrito your pup into a sleeping bag that’s made for humans, then you understand why the Palisades™ Poncho needed to exist. 

Built with a neck baffle and stretch leg loops so it stays in place, it wraps around your dog and keeps them cozy all night long—even if they stand up, change positions, or move around. The poncho compresses down small and light, making it easy to bring along for your buddy on overnight backpacking trips or even just hanging out at the crag.

Ridgeline™ Collection

Made for dogs who are going the extra mile (and then some), the Ridgeline™ Collection is the pinnacle of Ruffwear innovation. Our goal was to go beyond our own limitations in service of humans and dogs who regularly push past theirs, to discover what we could all achieve.

The Ridgeline™ Collection is built for exploring the unconventional path, with rugged, new materials and hardware designed for maximum usability and durability. Each piece of gear is constructed to act like a second skin, and every element is meticulously engineered to take both you and your dog further.

Ridgeline™ Harness

The Ridgeline™ Harness is built with X-Pac® shell fabric that flexes and moves with your dog, and it’s 100% waterproof. The overall design is sleek and minimalist, with Fidlock® magnetic buckles that self-align into place.

Ridgeline™ Collar

As with the entire collection, the Ridgeline™ Collar is also rugged and minimal, streamlined for absolute comfort. It includes a Fidlock® magnetic buckle that can be clipped with just one hand, and integrated reflectivity.

Ridgeline™ Leash

Equipped for every scenario, the hands-free adaptable Ridgeline™ Leash features a swiveling, dual-action clip that locks automatically. This means you’ll always have a secure connection that won’t twist or tangle, and the capability for hands-free maneuverability in an instant.

Ridgeline™ Shoes

We redesigned paw wear from the ground up, with a shoe that acts like an extension of your dog’s body. The rubber outsole preserves sensitive ground-feel while protecting dogs paws from the elements, with a hassle-free, breathable fit that enables dogs to tackle the toughest terrain.
