Overall the best of many dog packs we've tried. The best feature is how well they fit the dogs. When you're doing multi day back country trips comfort it really important and these are the only packs that haven't given the dogs hot spots. A little over featured for my liking but still the best dog pack out there. Would like to see something more durable on that bottom of the packs since they only seem to last us for about 3 seasons, maybe some plastic 'armor' or spectra would hold up to the Huskies? Until I make my own dog pack these are what we'll use./////Yes

I researched many packs before settling on this one, and I've been happy with it so far. Seems rugged enough to hold up to crashing through the woods (which we have tested a few times already). Doesn't shift very much, even though both my dogs are narrow chested. LOVE the ability to remove the majority of the pack easily while leaving the harness on. Water bladders are great, however they seem to be a little cumbersome to use. Just haven't gotten the knack of them yet. /////Yes

This pack is sweet. It was comfortable the first time we put it on Zeke, and he was confrotable in it after a 2 hour hike in the snow. It sits right on his front shoulders, and he doesn't seem to know it is there. The abaility to unclip the pack and keep the harness on is a great feature. We had lunch on the trail, hung the pack on the tree and the hydration system worked great, all while he kept the harness on. I would recommend this pack to anyone looking for a pack/////yes

This pack is great, very well thought out. The Dog loves the hydration system as he likes to drink right from the hose. Also there is plenty of space for food and a toy. And the daisy chain works great to strap his sleeping mat on. The pack fits him well and does not seem to irritate him at all. He seems exuberant to wear the pack and gets very excited now when I even touch the pack when I’m around the house thanks for the great product/////yes

This pack is awesome! My boy is tall and skinny with a deep chest and almost impossible to fit a harness for. Almost. This fits him perfectly. I also love the handle on top to help Graham out of some tough spots on the snowshoe trail. He crashes through brush and thorns and this pack takes it all. Very comfortable for my boy to sit and lie down in. We have an older model and the bladders didn't have the straws attached like they do now. Still, love it and get lots of compliments on it. I've had it about 4 years and it's still going strong./////yes

I like the concealed zippers. Having a working dog, he has to carry a certain percentage of his body weight for hikes. This pack is a little difficult to obtain the correct weight. With a very full pack, the weight can be acheived. I prefer the old bladders to the new. But the pack works well. I like the new harness as the front does not wear like the old one did./////yes

great product. my 2 year old dog doesnt mind when i put it on her. Makes her feel like she is working and i am able to walk her off leash even downtown since she feels proud and totally relaxed while carrying the backpack. /////yes

We have both the older and the new version and we love both. Helps us in our strength training of our dogs. These harnesses and packs are a big part of our daily routine.We also love to put them on the dogs during hicking or camping.As it was said before, they also help calm the dogs and slow them donw on the walks. When we walk our big bully dogs, people can sometimes be a little scared or intimmidated, but when they wear the packs, people are much more drawn to them and see them quite differently./////yes

I ordered this pack online and was impressed once I was able to see it first hand, the materials are of good quality along with the stitching. The design is well thought out and the water bladders have been a great benefit for both hydration and comfort for Jesse. The ability to remove the pack from the harness on the go is very practical, and I have done this on several hikes. The harness is easy to fit to my dog and the handle is an excellent feature, allowing me to help my pooch over obstacles. With reflective trim, gear loops, close tight zippers and many more features, this is a TOP quality dog pack. Good job to the designers./////yes

I ALREADY HAD A PACK WHEN A FRIEND OF MINE GOT THIS ONE. AS SOON AS SHE SHOWED IT TO ME, I HAD TO HAVE IT. I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU CAN LEAVE THE HARNESS ON BUT TAKE THE PACK OFF. WHEN I TAKE A BREAK ON TRAIL MY DOG DESERVES A BREAK TOO. ALOT OF WORK TO TAKE AN OLD PACK OFF AND ON AND READJUST STRAPS. THIS IS ONE I CAN TAKE HER PACK OFF EASILY AND GIVE HER A BREAK. CAN TAKE PACK OFF FOR WATER CROSSINGS BUT LEAVE HARNESS ON. GUESS YOU CAN TELL THAT THIS IS MY FAVORITE FEATURE OF THE PACK. CAN'T WAIT TO GET ON THE TRAILS THIS SPRING AND USE THE NEW PACK./////yes

My lab pup (9 mos old now) doesn't care much for her walking harness, but when she sees this harness/pack come out she really seems to know the difference. I can't believe how she actually does strut around like she is proud to be 'working' with this on.I've only used it on her a few times, but we took an 8mile hike yesterday and it was great. Fit well, seemed comfortable with no chafing. The only thing I would change is the bladders. The tubes are curled up and hard to manipulate to get liquid out without taking the pack off the harness. A better design on the bladders would make this a 5. Still good though./////yes

Elly Doesn't mind the pack a bit she seems to enjoy wearing it in fact./////yes

It is the first pack that has really fit either of my Newfoundlands well enough to be comfortable. Tinker loves the water bladder & the way it does not slide to one side./////yes

We use these packs not only for our own dogs, but for our adventure dog walking business. We are very hard on them since up to 8 dogs are pushing and shoving each other around on the trail. They also end up in the ocean or river every now and then on accident, and they stand up to it all really well. They also fit all the dogs really well with a minimum of movement on the dog as they walk , run or wrestle. We have tried lots of other packs, and these are so much better than all the rest it's almost ridiculous! Buy one, you won't be dissapointed. The customer service and shipping people are also just fantastic, I can't say enough good things!!/////yes

Excellent dog pack! Quality material, great workmanship, and attention to details. It fits my 7-month Alaskan malamute puppy perfectly, the load balances quite well on her, without the pack shifting to either side. The reflective trim is a nice touch, the ease of removing and attaching the pack to the harness makes it a breeze to take the pack off and give my pup a little rest during breaks. Haven't tried using the water bladders, can probably go with or without it. Would definitely recommend it to all my friends, actually posted some rave reviews of it on the dog forums I frequent./////yes

This pack can be adjusted to fit like a glove and the front yoke ensures that it doesn't twist on the dog's body, which is the problem I had with our previous pack. I like the fact that the pack can be removed and the harness used by itself. My only complaint is that the pack is quite heavy even without water and other dog accroutements added./////yes

I'm an amateur outdoors photographer and I got this pack so my dog could help me carry camera gear (bad back). The detachable packs are handy and I make use of all of the pockets. My dog gets hot easily and the hydration pockets are ideal for slipping small ice packs in. My dog loves it because he knows anytime he gets it put on, he's in for an adventure!!/////yes
