• The pack’s harness should have an all-around snug fit for a stable load and to prevent movement or shifting of the saddlebags. Be sure that each saddlebag has an equal and balanced load. When fitting the Palisades Pack, remove the saddlebags from the harness for easy fitting and adjustment. Then reattach the saddlebags when ready to go.

The Palisades Pack from RuffWear is designed for hard use in rugged conditions. This is a pack for serious backpacking trips and hours on the trails! The large capacity cargo compartments allow your dog to carry essentials such as food, bowls, treats, toys, and first aid supplies. This pack even has two water bladders for hydration in hot, dry conditions.

The Palisades features removable saddle bags so your dog can take a load off when you reach the camp site. Removing the bags reveals the RuffWear Web Master harness. The Web Master frame ensures good stability and weight distribution while keeping your dog comfortable and mobile.

The harness also features a sturdy assistance handle to help lift your dog up and over onstacles. Of course, the integrated hydration system continues to place the Palisades Pack in a breed of its own. The pack includes two one liter water bladders that slip inside an interior zip pocket inside each cargo compartment.

The outer shell is made of 500-denier nylon over closed cell foam. The shell and bags are trimmed with high-visibility 3M Scotchlite reflective trim for added safety in low light conditions. The underside is made of a material that is non-chaffing, fur friendly and provides plenty of ventilation. Both belly and chest strap are covered with soft fleece and connect with quick release side buckles. No need to lift your dog's legs up and into harness. Slides on over head and buckles underneath.
