Zulu's layer for our cold early-morning walks this fall has been the
@ruffwear Timberline Fuse: a fleece vest with a harness built into it 🍂
Because the harness is part of the vest, there is nothing to layer: you don't need a coat and a harness, you put on one piece and go which is very handy when we head out half asleep at sunrise. 😅🥴
The leash clips to an aluminum V-ring on the back or a reinforced webbing loop on the chest, and sheltered side-release buckles handle the fit adjustments. The body is a soft medium-pile polyester fleece with sturdier panels across the back and chest. There are also two light loops for a Beacon light, which helps on the walks in the dark.
Our full review of the @ruffwear Timberline Fuse is coming to the website soon 🙂
