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.

It’s been super hot this year, so I have to get her something to cool down while walking. And I can tell she’s more active outside!
I got this vest for my 2 year old rescue pup. She loves to run and play but tends to get hot quickly, The cooling vest fits easily under her front range harness and provides her a lot of comfort.
Having a little special needs black pug he's constantly running so this cooling vest is perfect. He can go for his walk/run without the fear of him overheating
Mr. O is a black lab. He wines when he gets too warm. We compared a day that he wore it on a hike at 80 degrees to the same hike that he did not have it at at 80 degrees. He was much happier!! Actually got sick on the day he didn’t have it.
Good product. Easy off and on.
