Why Choose the Ruffwear Timberline Fuse Fleece Vest? 2-in-1 Fleece Dog Coat and Harness
Enjoy the convenience of a fleece dog coat with a built-in harness. The integrated design provides a secure lead connection without needing an additional harness, making getting ready for walks quicker and easier.
Two lead attachment points offer versatility for different walking preferences, while the vest-style construction provides a comfortable, supportive fit.
Soft, Warm Fleece for Chilly Days
Made with soft, medium-pile polyester fleece, the Timberline Fuse helps keep your dog cosy when temperatures begin to drop. The warm, comfortable material makes this fleece dog jacket particularly suitable for autumn walks, cool spring mornings and everyday outings during milder winter weather.
Comfortable Fit with Freedom of Movement
Designed with active dogs in mind, the Timberline Fuse features a practical vest silhouette that accommodates a wide range of body shapes. The extended coverage around the hips and thighs provides additional comfort, while soft, stretchy rear leg loops help keep the vest securely positioned without unnecessarily restricting natural movement.
Secure Front and Back Lead Attachments
The integrated harness features two practical lead attachment points:
- Back attachment: A strong aluminium V-ring for everyday lead connection.
- Front attachment: A reinforced webbing loop offering an alternative lead attachment position.
This flexible design makes the vest a convenient choice for regular walks and outdoor exploration.
Quick and Easy to Put On
Forget the hassle of fitting a harness over a separate dog coat. The Timberline Fuse features easy-to-use side-release buckles, allowing you to dress your dog quickly and comfortably before heading outside.
Reflective Details for Low-Light Walks
Reflective accents help improve your dog’s visibility in dim conditions, making the vest a useful choice for early morning and evening walks. Two dedicated light attachment loops, positioned on the chest and back, allow you to add a compatible Ruffwear Beaconā¢ Safety Light, sold separately.
