Dog jumpers for dogs that get cold quickly and need freedom of movement
A dog jumper makes sense if your dog gets cold quickly, has little undercoat or needs extra protection on cool days. Dachshunds, poodles, sighthounds, small dog breeds, senior dogs and puppies in particular often benefit from a warm, comfortable layer.
Is the Glow Jumper 2.0 really worth it?
Yes, the Glow Jumper 2.0 is more than design and neon colour. It is made with an innovative knitting technique and uses yarns from the sports industry. Think of it as sports leggings for your dog: close to the body, elastic, light and flexible enough that active dogs are not restricted.
Thanks to the dense knit, the Glow Jumper also protects against cool wind without feeling stiff. It warms the back, belly, chest and neck, sits comfortably and is easy to care for. The neon colours are a real advantage for visibility in everyday life, especially in grey weather, in the city, in the park or on winter walks.
Which dog jumpers suit dogs that get cold quickly?
For dogs that get cold quickly and still need to move freely, the lumiies® Glow Jumper 2.0 is a good fit. It is made with an innovative knitting technique and is highly elastic, quick drying, close fitting and very stretchy. That way it sits like a second warming skin without restricting active dogs.
Dogs with little undercoat, a slim build or short fur need warmth, but not a stiff jumper. The Glow Jumper 2.0 warms the chest, belly and middle of the body, stays flexible and follows every movement: running, sniffing, jumping, playing or a gentle stroll.
Which dog jackets suit dogs with little undercoat?
Dogs with little undercoat cool down faster in wind, wet and cold temperatures. For dry cold, a close-fitting, light dog jumper like the Glow Jumper makes sense. In rain, wet snow or wind the Glow Raincoat is the better outer layer, because it has a waterproof laminate and keeps the wet out.
For very short winter walks, what counts is this: quick to put on, light to wear and still warm. The Glow Jumper works for dry cold, the Glow Raincoat for cold wet weather and the Sherpa collection for dogs that get cold very quickly. In cold rain the Glow Jumper can be worn under the Glow Raincoat.
When it needs to be warmer: Sport Racer Sherpa Edition
For dogs that need more warmth in winter, the Sherpa collection complements the Glow Jumper. The Sport Racer Sherpa Edition Tail-Free is a particularly warm overall without a tail opening. The cosy Sherpa material warms the body, while the very stretchy ribbed knit on the belly allows freedom of movement.
The tail-free cut is practical for dogs whose back and body should stay warm without anything getting in the way around the tail. The elastic belly area makes the overall suitable for everyday life with active dogs, because it moves along and does not sit stiffly on the body.
Why freedom of movement matters
A dog jumper or overall must not slip, cut in or block the shoulder and chest. The Glow Jumper sits close to the body and stretches with the dog. On the Sherpa overall, the elastic ribbed knit on the belly lets warmth and mobility work together.
Which dog breeds does the Glow Jumper fit?
Depending on the measurements, the Glow Jumper 2.0 fits many small to sporty dogs, for example dachshunds, poodles, sighthounds, whippets, galgos, chihuahuas, pinschers, vizslas, dalmatians, mixed breeds and dogs with a slim or unusual body shape. What matters is back length, chest girth and neck girth.
Layering in winter
In cold, dry weather the Glow Jumper can be worn on its own. In cold rain or wind it becomes the warm inner layer under the Glow Raincoat: the jumper warms close to the body, the raincoat keeps out wet and wind on the outside. For very cold dry days the Sherpa overall is the warmer choice.
How to measure correctly
Measure your dog standing. Measure the back length from the shoulder blade to the base of the tail, the chest girth at the widest point behind the front legs and the neck girth where the jumper will sit.

FAQ: dog jumpers
Is the Glow Jumper 2.0 worth it, or am I only paying for design?
The Glow Jumper 2.0 earns its place mainly through material, knitting technique and fit: it is elastic like sports leggings, sits close to the body, warms the neck, belly and back, protects against cool wind thanks to the dense knit and still moves freely. The neon colour is an added advantage for visibility.
Which jacket is light and warm for short winter walks?
For dry cold the Glow Jumper is light, warm and quick to put on. In cold rain the Glow Raincoat makes more sense, on its own or as an outer layer over the jumper. If your dog gets cold very quickly, the Sherpa collection is the warmer choice.
Why is the Glow Jumper good for active dogs?
It is highly elastic, close fitting and very stretchy. That way it warms like a second skin without restricting movement.
