The Jacket Length (A) is the length of the actual coat. Measure from the neck where the collar sits to the base of the tail. It's not essential the length measurement exactly reaches your dog's full length. The coat is designed to keep your dog's core body warm. Remember human coats don't always cover right down to our legs. Sometimes they land above our waists and that works for us.
The Neck Opening (B) is the size of the neck opening of the actual coat. Measure the circumference of your dog's neck to be sure it is smaller than the neck opening of the coat.

Aussie summers are nothing if not intense. Imagine permanently wearing a fur coat right through Australia Day! Yipes! That's how our tough Aussie dogs are doing it. And that's why cooling gear can be so vital. When the going gets hot, count on the Swamp Cooler Vest to keep your dog cool outside.
All of Ruffwear's cooling gear work by using evaporative cooling techniques. The light-coloured fabric reflects solar radiation and provides sun coverage. But it's the act of wetting down the vest that activates the evaporative cooling action to give you that just-stepped-out-of-the-ocean feeling. Just give it a soak, put it on your dog, and go. When it dries, re-soak it to recharge it.
The Swamp Cooler Vest includes side-release buckles for getting it on and off easily. There's a leash portal on the back so it can be worn over a harness. This vest is Ruffwear's the highest-coverage cooling option.
The external mesh on this newest version of the Swamp Cooler the external air mesh has been updated to be stronger for improved abrasion resistance and improved water absorption. The construction has also been upgraded to retain more water for a longer charge.
⚡ UPF 50+ COVERAGE ⚡
Vest style provides good coverage for maximum shade with side-release buckles for easy on/off.
⚡ SWAMP COOLER TECH⚡
Three-layer construction absorbs water and promotes evaporative cooling.
⚡ LEASH PORTAL ⚡
Leash portal on back for layering over a harness during on-leash pursuits.
Great news! They found that the thicker the dog's 🐕 coat is, the more cooling power the vest delivers.
Ruffwear always give us brilliant names for their colours. This time we've got sage green and heliotrope purple. In case you are wondering, as I was, Heliotrope is a purple flowering plant. Apparently we have 81 species occurring naturally in Australia.
