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.

    Great quality

    Ordered 2 for my dogs that hate the heat. We haven't needed to use them yet but the quality is really good and fit the dogs pretty well!

    Swamp Cooler Zip cooling vest

    It fists perfectly my female Golden Retriever.

    I can do agility with this on her. She is comfortable and I am happy.

    A really good vest!

    It works!

    My baby is in the heavier side and has a hard time during the hot summer months. This vest has worked wonders as it keeps her cool and she recovers better from her walks. I wish I had gotten this vest sooner!

    Looks likes a winner

    It gets a little warm when we camp so I thought I’d take advantage a good deal and got the zippered cooler. Can’t wait to try it out
