Switchback Puffy

The Switchback Puffy is warmth without compromise. Synthetic fill wrapped in an ultralight DWR shell - it insulates even when damp, packs down to nothing, and weighs less than you'd believe.

Built for alpine starts, cold camps, and summit pushes where the wind cuts through everything else. The design stays put on the move, and it layers over our Trailhead Fleece when you need maximum warmth or under the Ridgeline Shell for full weather protection.

This is the layer that turns a shivering dog into a summit dog.

We chose synthetic insulation over down for one reason: dogs get wet. Synthetic fill maintains its loft and warmth even when damp. This is critical for rain, snow, creek crossings, or morning dew.

Made from recycled fabric because it should be.

Chest girth is the most important measurement. Measure around the widest part of your dog's ribcage, just behind the front legs.

- XS: Chest 14–17" / Back 10–12"
- S: Chest 17–21" / Back 12–15"
- M: Chest 21–26" / Back 15–18"
- L: Chest 26–32" / Back 18–22"

Between sizes? Go up - our layers are designed to stack without sizing up.
