Details
All the cooling, none of the bulk.
The Swamp Cooler Zip Vest uses evaporative cooling to pull heat away from your dog's core. The same principle as stepping out of a lake and feeling the air hit your skin. Soak it, zip it on, and go. The snug athletic fit keeps the cooling effect close to the body, and the stretch fabric means they can run, play, and move freely while it works.
The zippered closure makes it quick on and off, and a spandex back panel adds UPF 50+ sun protection alongside the cooling. Two jobs, one vest. If the Swamp Cooler Vest is built for coverage, the Zip is built for speed - close-fitting, lightweight, and designed to move with your dog.
For years, this was the vest we relied on for Kizzie. The agile fit suited her energetic younger years perfectly - on evening walks and around the house during the hottest days. It was such a relief to see her more rested and comfortable. These days she needs the bigger Swamp Cooler. But Orla? This one will be hers.
