RUFFWEAR 2013 SPRING/SUMMER DEALER WORKBOOK
The cooler months here in the Northwest - base camp for Ruffwear - give us the opportunity to hunker down during the shorter solar days and concentrate on a laundry list of R&D projects as well as improvements for current products. This season we have several projects that have come to fruition.
To start with, we have completely revised our Swamp Cooler™. We reworked the pattern to provide better overall coverage, enhance the fit and stepped up the performance. By focusing on the materials we built into our cooling coat, we created a cooler functioning and looking coat, as well as increased the duration of time the coat holds water used in the evaporative cooling process. The result is extended and more efficient cooling that allows dogs and humans to make the most out of our warmer days.
On our Approach Pack™, we have revised the padded assistance handle, color coded our zipper pulls and added convenient top loading stash pockets. While all of these are “nice-to-have” conveniences for us humans, our four-legged friends will enjoy the overall reduced weight and improved padding and contoured fit.
A new offering in our quiver of leashes is our Slackline Leash™, Ruffwear’s foray into creating the right length leash for a plethora of activities. Waist-worn or hand-held, adjusting from 6ft to 3.5ft and then back to 6ft, the Slackline benefits from a traffic handle and Ruffwear’s Talon Clip™. The Slackline picks up the slack so you don’t have to.
Back by resounding requests is our Chain Reaction™ Collar, Ruffwear’s limited correction training collar that allows for gentle corrections with an audible cue, all while providing comfort and convenience for everyday neck wear. This is the walking collar of choice for my Australian Cattle Dog, Mavis.
Over the years, Ruffwear’s design team has spent a fair amount of time around webbing looms and I have to say that it has been time well spent. With the knowledge we have picked up through this on-the-job experience, we have developed an improved tubular webbing
It is winter outside here in the Northwest,proving grounds for Ruffwear R&D, and while there are still plenty of snow riding and sliding
activities to be had, our human nature has us thinking forward to Spring when the wild flowers
are popping and the pack here at Ruffwear will transition from our winter recreation activities to
warmer weather pursuits. As Bill Breyer once shared with me, “It’s a great day for the race.” At that
time, I recall agreeing with Bill’s comment and then I thought aloud, “What race was in progress?”
to which he replied, “A great day for the human race.” Ah yes, a great day it is indeed.
construction, a process we call TubeLok™. This webbing construction allows us to weave a strong, durable, creative design, while putting comfortable webbing in your hands, beauty and brawn all in one. Our thinking is when our dogs are on a leash, we are on a leash, so why not make the experience pleasant for all. You will find Ruffwear’s TubeLok webbing construction on our Chain Reaction Collar, Top Rope™ Collar and Slackline Leash offerings.
Our revised Lunker™ has been re-envisioned from the core out. We started with post manufacturing waste foam from the footwear industry and created a center core that provides just the right weight for long tosses. By reworking the pattern and the rope handle connection, we have reduced seams and improved overall durability. One of the best features about the Lunker is that when it is time to retire, the whole Lunker can be sent to PLUSfoam® to be recycled and begin life anew through PLUSfoam’s® comprehensive recycle/repurpose program.
While we were at it, we took a good long look at our Hover Craft™ and discovered a few ways to improve the flight, durability and aesthetics, all while increasing the fun to be had. In the process, we improved our patterns and construction process. These continual improvements allow Ruffwear to drive progress and put our best foot forward, all while reducing our environmental footprint.
There you have it, a slice of life in a product development season here at Ruffwear. What does this all mean for our four-legged friends you ask? More grand times out and about, heading down the trail and out exploring… a great day for the race indeed, the two-legged as well as the four-legged.
Lap it up,

ZIPPERleads Eric down the path of enlightment. GREEN LAKES TRAIL, CENTRAL OREGON
Since launching in 1989, The Conservation Alliance has contributed more than $11.2 million to conservation projects throughout North America. With these grants, organizations are able to make a significant, positive impact on the environment, with recent highlights including: the preservation of 1,050 acres of wildlife habitat in the Appalachian Trail, the protection of more than 19,000 acres along Oregon’s John Day River, securing a ban on mining and oil and gas development on 400,000 acres of British Columbia’s Flathead River Valley and helping to protect 70 miles of the Colorado River from future dams and diversions.
Ruffwear–in partnership with The Conservation Alliance–is proud to be part of the effort to save these wild areas for hiking boots and dog boots alike.
Green Paws
Dogs and people, preferably together, live for those places where we can escape the daily grind and revel in an untrampled wilderness, free from cars, computers, and the confines of a fenced yard.
Ruffwear is proud to be an active member of The Conservation Alliance (www.conservationalliance.com), helping to ensure that future generations of dogs and people have open spots to enjoy.
The Conservation Alliance is a group of outdoor businesses that work together to protect wild places throughout North America, where wildlife thrives and our customers recreate. Each member company–including Ruffwear–pays annual dues into a central fund, and the Alliance donates 100% of those dues to organizations working to protect wild forests, rivers, deserts, mountains, and other fragile landscapes.
