Ruffwear AW26 Has Arrived at Be More Bob: Meet the New Autumn/Winter 2026 Collection
Ruffwear AW26 is here – and we’re very excited about this one.
The mornings are getting darker, the leaves are starting to turn, and there is absolutely no chance that Bob and Dolly are going to let a bit of rain, wind or cold get in the way of a walk.
The leaves are going early this year - we think it's the drought. They did the same last year, did you notice?
We’re delighted to be bringing the latest Ruffwear AW26 dog coats, vests and cold-weather gear to Be More Bob – your independent Ruffwear stockist in the UK.
We've been using Ruffwear with our own dogs for years, and it's one of the reasons we became such big fans of the brand in the first place. We don't just sell Ruffwear. We use it, test it, fit it and recommend it every day.
So, what's new for AW26?
The Ruffwear AW26 collection at a glance
The new Autumn/Winter 2026 collection is all about keeping dogs warm, dry, comfortable and visible, while still allowing them to do what dogs do best – get outside and get on with it.
The new range includes:
-
Ruffwear Timberline Fuse Fleece Vest – warm fleece with a built-in harness
-
Ruffwear Overcoat Fuse Insulated Vest – an insulated, weather-resistant vest with built-in harness
-
Ruffwear Powder Hound Vest – high-loft insulated warmth with weather protection
-
Ruffwear Mt. Hoodie Warming Neck Gaiter – versatile fleece warmth with extra coverage for the neck and ears
Ruffwear describes the collection as being designed for dogs who are “always ready” – whether that's a normal morning walk, a muddy countryside adventure or a full-on winter expedition. Just like our dogs!
Early autumn: when you need warmth without the bulk
British autumn weather can be a bit of a lottery.
One minute it's sunny. The next you're standing in a field wondering why you didn't bring a waterproof.
That's where the early-season AW26 pieces really come into their own.
Ruffwear Timberline Fuse Fleece Vest
The Timberline Fuse is one of our favourites from the new collection.
It's a warm, soft fleece vest with a built-in harness, making it particularly useful for everyday autumn walks when you want warmth without having to layer a separate coat and harness.
The fleece is designed to provide comfortable warmth while still allowing your dog to move freely.
And because the harness is built in, getting ready for a walk is wonderfully simple:
Coat. Lead. Go.
The Timberline Fuse is currently available from Be More Bob in Driftwood and Deep Teal.

Ruffwear Overcoat Fuse: coat and harness in one
If there's one piece of AW26 gear that immediately caught our attention, it's the Ruffwear Overcoat Fuse.
This combines the functionality of a warm, weather-resistant dog coat with an integrated harness.
It's designed for dogs who don't believe that brambles, rough terrain, wet weather or cold mornings are legitimate excuses for staying at home.
The Overcoat Fuse has an abrasion-resistant outer shell, insulation and a built-in harness, making it particularly suited to active dogs who spend a lot of time outdoors.
It's a serious bit of kit.
And we think that's exactly the point.
The Overcoat Fuse is available at Be More Bob in Brown Bear, Cedar Green and Purple Umber.

Then winter arrives...
When temps drop, the rain turns horizontal and your dog looks at you as if you'd personally invented the weather, you'll want something more substantial.
That's where the Ruffwear Powder Hound collection comes in.
Ruffwear Powder Hound Vest
The Powder Hound Vest is designed for dogs who need serious insulation without compromising their freedom of movement.
It combines high-loft insulation with a waterproof and windproof outer shell, making it particularly suited to cold-weather adventures.
There's also an insulated storm collar for additional protection and a leash portal so it can be worn over most harnesses.
This is the kind of coat we would be looking at for dogs who are genuinely outdoors in cold conditions rather than simply walking from the house to the car.

Ruffwear Mt. Hoodie Warming Neck Gaiter
Not every dog needs a full winter coat.
Sometimes you simply need a little extra protection around the neck and ears.
The new Mt. Hoodie Warming Neck Gaiter is a clever little bit of kit that can be worn around the neck or converted into a hood.
It's reversible, with fleece on one side and a lightweight polyester side on the other, and has reflective details for low-light conditions.
It's particularly useful for dogs who already have a coat but need a little extra warmth around their neck and ears.
And yes, it looks rather cute too.

Which Ruffwear AW26 coat is right for my dog?
This is probably the question we're going to get asked most.
And the answer is: it depends on your dog and how you spend your time outdoors.
| If your dog... | We'd look at... |
|---|---|
| Gets chilly on autumn walks | Timberline Fuse |
| Needs a warm coat + harness in one | Overcoat Fuse |
| Needs warmth but still wants freedom of movement | Powder Hound Vest |
| Needs extra warmth around the neck and ears | Mt. Hoodie |
| Senior dog looking to keep warm and dry | Powder Hound Vest |
| Puppy needing extra warmth | Timberline Fuse |
| Out all weather, all day, in the cold and rain | Powder Hound Vest |
| Hates getting cold and wet | Powder Hound Vest |
| Got a good coat of my own fur, but want to stay dry | Sun Shower Jacket |
And don't forget that your dog doesn't necessarily need the warmest coat available.
A healthy, active dog generating plenty of heat on a brisk walk may need something very different from an older, smaller, short-coated or less active dog.
The right dog coat is the one that suits your dog's individual needs and the conditions you're actually going to use it in.
If your dog needs to stay dry, but doesn't need the warmth, look at the Sun Shower fully waterproof options.
Why we trust Ruffwear at Be More Bob
Ruffwear isn't a new brand to us.
We've been using Ruffwear with our own dogs for years, and it's one of the reasons it has become such an important part of Be More Bob.
We've used Ruffwear harnesses, leads and apparel ourselves, taken them on adventures and seen how they perform in real-world conditions.
That's important to us because buying premium dog gear shouldn't just mean looking at a list of specifications.
You want to know:
- Will it fit my dog?
- Does my dog need this?
- Will it be comfortable?
- Will it stand up to muddy walks?
- Is it worth the money?
- Which Ruffwear harness or coat should I actually buy?
Those are the questions we help customers with every day.
We're proud to be a UK Ruffwear stockist, and our aim is to provide something a little different from simply putting products on a website.
We offer genuine, independent advice based on years of experience with the brand, our own dogs and the hundreds of dogs we've helped in our Cheltenham shop.
If you're unsure about sizing or which Ruffwear product is right for your dog, ask us.
We'd much rather help you buy the right thing once than buy the wrong thing twice.
