As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, it’s tempting to hunker down indoors. But just because the weather’s changing doesn’t mean your outdoor adventures with your dog have to. From blustery fall days to snow-covered winter mornings, Ruffwear’s newest collection of cold-weather jackets, boots, and socks ensures your canine companion stays comfortable and protected.
This year, Ruffwear is celebrating its 30th anniversary, a milestone that reflects decades of designing high-performance gear that enables dogs and their humans to keep exploring — no matter the season or the conditions. Whether you’re trekking through the backcountry, exploring new trails, or just enjoying your daily walks, this gear helps you both embrace the season without missing a beat.
After all, the brand has spent three decades innovating outdoor gear for dogs, and their latest cold-weather lineup carries that legacy forward — so you can keep moving, even when the mercury drops. So let’s dive into Ruffwear’s latest offerings and see how they’re continuing their mission of enhancing the lives of adventure-loving dogs and their humans, 30 years strong.
Sun Shower Rain Jacket: Wet Weather? No Problem
When the rain starts to fall, Ruffwear’s Sun Shower Rain Jacket is the perfect layer for keeping your dog dry and comfortable. With a windproof and waterproof shell, this jacket protects your pup from getting soaked, whether you’re blazing the trails or simply heading out for your regular walks. Its oversized storm collar adds an extra layer of defense against wet and windy conditions, while the leash portal on the back means you can easily pair this jacket with your dog’s favorite harness.
Key Features:
- Waterproof and windproof shell
- Leash portal for harness compatibility
- Relaxed fit for layering over other gear
Ideal for the unpredictable fall and early winter weather, the Sun Shower Rain Jacket is your go-to for those misty mornings and sudden downpours.
Vert Jacket: Winter’s Worst, Handled
When winter storms roll in, Ruffwear’s Vert Jacket steps up to the challenge. This jacket is not only waterproof but also insulated to keep your dog warm during those frigid winter walks or backcountry snow adventures. Its high-loft recycled polyester insulation offers serious warmth without adding too much bulk, and the windproof, breathable shell ensures your dog stays cozy without overheating.
Like the Sun Shower, the Vert Jacket also features a leash portal, allowing it to fit over most harnesses so your pup can stay both protected and secure. Designed with a relaxed fit, it’s perfect for active dogs who need mobility and warmth in harsh conditions.
Key Features:
- Waterproof and insulated
- Leash portal for use with a harness
- Windproof, breathable fabric for cold-weather comfort
Whether you’re facing a wintry mix or full-blown snowstorm, the Vert Jacket ensures your dog stays warm and dry through it all.
Summit Trex Dog Boots + Bark’n Boot Socks: Ready for Rough Terrain
Cold weather isn’t just hard on your dog’s body — it’s tough on their paws, too. Enter the Summit Trex Dog Boots, Ruffwear’s solution for protecting your dog’s paws from harsh surfaces like ice, snow, slush, and salt. These boots are designed for everyday paw protection and feature a durable, weather-resistant polyester upper. With a non-marking rubber outsole, they provide excellent traction on slippery surfaces, so your dog can walk confidently, no matter what’s underfoot.
But, what really takes these boots to the next level is pairing them with Bark’n Boot Socks. These socks enhance the fit, comfort, and performance of dog boots, keeping them snug and secure, even during the most demanding adventures. The socks’ articulated shape matches your dog’s paw anatomy for a precise fit, and the moisture-wicking material keeps paws dry and comfortable.
Key Features:
- Everyday paw wear for protection from rough and icy surfaces
- Non-marking rubber outsole for solid traction
- Bark’n Boot Socks provide enhanced fit and comfort
This combo is a must for winter adventurers or city dogs navigating salted sidewalks. The boots shield paws from the elements, while the socks make sure everything fits perfectly.
It’s Always the Right Season To Go Outside With Your Dog
From waterproof jackets to paw-protecting boots, Ruffwear’s latest winter gear keeps your dog warm, dry, and ready to tackle whatever the seasonal conditions bring. With the right gear, your adventures don’t have to stop when the temps drop, from beach to mountaintop.
So keep the leash handy, because with Ruffwear, every day is a great day for an outdoor adventure.
