Product Information

Full details

The Ruffwear Highlands Sleeping Bag is an essential piece of gear for active dogs and their owners who frequently backpack or camp in cooler conditions. Its primary benefit is providing reliable warmth and comfort through a lightweight, synthetic-fill design that packs down easily for trail transport. While it offers excellent thermal efficiency, users should note that the bag requires a consistent routine of airing out to prevent moisture buildup from affecting the synthetic insulation over multi-day trips.

FAQs

Does this come with the Highlands Pad included?

No, the Highlands Pad is sold separately and fits into the integrated sleeve.

Can I machine wash this bag?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fill and the fabric shell.

Is this waterproof?

The bag is water-resistant, but it is not intended to be used in direct rain or standing water.

What is the temperature rating?

Ruffwear does not provide a specific degree rating as warmth depends on the dog's coat, activity level, and environmental conditions; it is designed for cool, seasonal camping.

How do I store the bag when not in use?

Store the bag in a dry, cool place hanging up or laid flat rather than inside the compression sack to maintain loft.

Troubleshooting

The sleeping bag feels cold inside.

Ensure a Highlands Pad is inserted into the sleeve to block cold from the ground and check that the neck baffle is tucked in correctly.

Dog is hesitant to enter the bag.

Keep the zipper fully open initially and use positive reinforcement or familiar treats to encourage the dog to lay on the bag before closing the zipper.

Synthetic fill is clumping or looks thin.

The bag has likely been stored compressed too long. Shake it out vigorously and air it out for 24-48 hours to help the insulation regain its loft.

Pros and Cons

Extremely lightweight for long-distance trekking

Easy-to-use zipper system for quick access

Not suitable for extremely sub-zero arctic temperatures
Hand-washing and air-drying require significant space and time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Highlands Sleeping Bag, first locate the integrated sleeve on the underside of the bag. Slide the Highlands Pad completely into this pocket to ensure full coverage. When introducing your dog to the bag, let them investigate it at home before your first trip to build confidence. For care, keep the sleeping bag as clean as possible by shaking out debris before packing. If the bag becomes soiled, hand wash it using mild detergent and cool water. Always air dry the bag fully in a shaded, well-ventilated area before storing it; never leave it compressed in the storage sack for long periods, as this can compress the synthetic fill and reduce its insulating performance over time.
