Low Light Safety For Your Dog – Stay Safe, Stay Seen With The Updated Ruffwear Track Jacket™
It seems like someone just flipped the season switch. One week it was in the mid-eighties and dry as a bone, the next week we woke up to brisk mid-thirty degree temperatures and views of snow blanketing the mountains. It’s not only the temperatures that have changed drastically. Each day, the sun seems to be setting five to ten minutes earlier – as if nature is attempting to threaten our post work runs and mountain bikes rides. Fortunately there are products designed to help us safely extend our adventures well past dusk and into the night. For humans, we don our headlamps and warm synthetic athletic clothing that typically has reflective elements woven or printed on them. The same can be true for your dog (minus the headlamp part – they don’t really need that).
The Ruffwear Track Jacket™ and Beacon™ are just that – gear designed to let you hit the trail running in low-light conditions or run your urban neighborhoods and stay visible to both people and traffic.
Redesigned for 2013, the Track Jacket safety dog vest provides a high level of luminescence making it an essential piece of gear for October hikes or after-work runs all winter long. For the redesign of the Track Jacket, we focused on two key areas: easy on/off, and maximum visibility. “The jacket employs active and passive lighting,” says product designer Lindsey Clark. “Active lighting by attaching up to three Beacons with our strategically-placed light loops, and passive lighting when the wide, reflective prints bounce back light from headlamps or car headlights. Our blindingly bright blaze orange fabric meets the European EN471 standard for high visibility.”
Additional features include:
- Lightweight, low-profile tension hooks provide a quick and secure connection
- Durable, waterproof fabric
- Streamlined design is easy to put on and stays in place
The Beacon is a lightweight, watertight, sturdy, and compact safety LED light that creates a halo of red light around your dog. It clips onto all wearable Ruffwear gear including collars, packs, apparel, life jackets and harnesses. It can even be clipped to your commuter bag to provide visibility for your personal commute to work or around town.
Will you extend your adventures into the low-light conditions of fall and winter? Do so safely with high-visibility gear .
