Timberline Fuse Fleece Vest | Built in Harness | Ruffwear

Cosy fleece. Built-in harness. Zero faffing. 

Some days are cold enough for a coat, but not quite cold enough for the full winter duvet situation.

That's where the Ruffwear Timberline Fuse Fleece Vest comes in.

It's a wonderfully clever two-in-one fleece vest and harness, giving your dog a cosy extra layer while giving you a secure place to clip their lead, and it looks amazing too! We are loving the Autumn / Winter vibes.

So instead of wrestling a harness underneath a fleece, then trying to convince your dog that wearing three layers was definitely their idea...

Slip it on. Clip in. Off you go.

Cosy without the bulk

The Timberline Fuse is made from soft, medium-pile polyester fleece, giving your dog plenty of warmth for those crisp mornings, chilly afternoons and cooler-weather adventures.

It's lovely and cosy without turning your dog into a furry sausage roll.

The vest design also provides extra coverage over the hips and thighs, helping keep more of your dog warm while still allowing them to move naturally.

The harness is already built in

And here's the clever bit.

You don't need to put a separate harness underneath.

The Timberline Fuse has an integrated harness system with front and back lead attachment points, giving you a secure connection while keeping the whole outfit wonderfully simple.

There's an aluminium V-ring on the back and a reinforced front attachment point, so you've got options depending on how you like to walk your dog.

One piece of gear. One less thing to remember. One very happy human.

Made for dogs who don't stand still

Because dogs don't understand the concept of “please stand still while I put your coat on.”

The Timberline Fuse uses side-release buckles to make getting dressed quick and easy, while the soft stretch leg loops help keep the vest snug and secure without restricting movement.

A warm, comfortable fit that stays where it should while your dog gets on with the important business of sniffing absolutely everything.

Perfect for everyday adventures

This is the fleece we'd reach for on:

Crisp autumn walks
Chilly morning adventures
Woodland wanderings
Camping trips
Cool-weather exploring
Dogs who feel the cold
Senior dogs who need warmth

It's also a great option for dogs who don't need a waterproof winter coat but appreciate an extra layer when temperatures drop.

And because it's Ruffwear...

You get the thoughtful details you'd expect from Ruffwear.

Reflective accents help improve visibility when the light starts disappearing, while Beacon light loops on the chest and back give you somewhere to attach a Ruffwear Beacon safety light for even more visibility.

Because winter walks have a habit of starting in daylight and somehow ending in the dark.

Getting the right size

Ruffwear sizes the Timberline Fleece by your dog's chest girth, measured around the widest part of their rib cage.

Not sure which size your dog needs? Give us a shout — we're proper dog gear nerds and we're happy to help. 🐶

It is VERY important that you measure your dog when buying clothing as all brands size differently. Ruffwear tends to size large, so don't assume you know your dog's size based on other brands you may have purchased.
