What is the Lumenglow High-Vis Vest?
The Lumenglow™ High-Vis Vest is a lightweight high-visibility vest for your dog to help maximise your pooch's visibility without compromising comfort or freedom of movement.
With light weather protection, reflective detailing and an accommodating fit, it's perfect for low-light winter dog walks, whether you're strolling around your local neighbourhood or wandering through the countryside.
Materials & Technology
Durable 600D Polyester Shell
The vest is made from a lightweight, yet surprisingly tough 600D polyester shell, which is designed to resist abrasion and everyday wear.
The fabric is smooth and comfortable next to your dog’s fur, yet reassuringly sturdy, ensuring it lasts a lifetime of low-light adventures. It provides light protection from wind and rough vegetation and is finished with a PFAS-Free DWR (durable water repellent) coating to allow light rain and moisture to bead off the jacket, rather than soaking in. However, please note, this does not make the fabric fully waterproof.
The material is also Bluesign® approved, meaning it's manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
Recycled Webbing Straps
The adjustable straps are made from a highly durable and abrasion-resistant recycled polyester webbing. They help provide a secure and comfortable fit whilst withstanding the repeated dirt, wear and abrasion that come hand in hand with a dog's daily life.
Features and Functionality
High-Visibility Design
The Lumenglow™ vest has been created with two bright, high-contrast colours to improve both daytime and nighttime visibility, while reflective panels down the sides of the vest help your dog stand out even more to other road users, making it particularly useful during winter walks with roadside sections.
Harness Compatibility
A leash portal on the back allows the vest to be easily worn over a wide range of harnesses, allowing the lead to remain securely attached to your dog, without affecting the fit as they mooch around. The vest is designed to sit comfortably over your dog's harness, ensuring they stay visible and protected as they enjoy their time outdoors.
Easy On and Off
Ruffwear has used their signature ITW Nexus Waveloc side-release buckles on the sides for quick and easy on-off transitions, whilst adjustable webbing straps allow you to easily tailor the fit. This secure buckle system ensures the vest stays comfortably in place while they're busy roaming around, yet is easy to remove after your adventure.
Beacon™ Safety Light Compatibility
The vest features two integrated light loops to allow you to easily attach Ruffwear's Beacon™ Safety Light (sold separately), allowing even greater visibility when walking in darkness or poor weather. One loop is positioned on the back and another on the chest, to keep the light well out of your dog's way when they're busy exploring.
