Ruffwear launched two collections for Spring 2022— the Camp & Hike (for camp/trail) and Backpacking Collections (focused on the unique needs of multi-day trekking in the backcountry).

“At Ruffwear, we’re about unleashing possibility through a life of discovery, and these new products invite outdoor dog-loving humans and their pups to join us on the journey,” said Ruffwear Director of Marketing, Susan Strible. “Our latest gear intro is designed with campers, hikers and backpackers in mind. Whether we’re heading out on our favorite trail or discovering new ones, the best adventures are the ones we share with our dogs.”
