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.

How does Swamp Cooler™ Tech work? Learn more about evaporative cooling and other ways to keep your dog cool.

    Works great

    Had my pup wear this for the first time on a bike ride and I went to check on him an hour or so after the ride and his chest was still nice and cool from the ride despite the hot weather. Excited to put this to the test some more this summer!

    It works great!

    It fits well on my Standard Schnauzer. I like its side zipper design that makes it easy to put on and take off.

    Tried it on the day with humidex 40 Celsius . My dog stayed cool and he seems happy. No panting during the walk. Great product!

    Best purchase ever

    I really liked this product. Kept my dog cool and it fits perfectly. Also one cool thing is that if you don’t want to give your dog water because he is really burnt out ydog can lik the vest and cool off a little bit

    Best cooling vest

    I had tried cooking vests for my dogs from Petco, petsmart, and they all dry up within half an hour. I got this for my service dog as his fur gets really hot and needs it when he works. I have their neck cooler and it stays cold and wet for hours so I decided to try this and I am amazed. It stayed cold our whole 4th of July while we were outside at markets; my dog stayed cool and it protected him from the sun. I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to buy another one very soon for my other service dog
