Palisades™ Dog Backpack

multi-day backpacking pack

Color

Selected: Red Sumac

The Palisades Pack puts the deepest of backcountry within reach for you and your dog. Our highest-volume pack, it's designed for multi-day treks with roomy saddlebags that host a cross-load compression system for stable, comfortable gear carry. The saddlebags attach securely to a breathable harness chassis, and can be removed at camp to lighten the load for side-excursions.

Multiple pockets and an external daisy chain store and organize your dog's trekking necessities like a sleeping system, food, and even two collapsible hydration bladders that come with the pack.

It’s recommended that your dog carry no more than 25% of their body weight, including pack weight and its contents. If your dog is new to dog packs, start with a light load and work up to a heavier load as your dog gets used to wearing the pack.

What's New: The Palisades has a long history in the Ruffwear pack lineup, and this season's updates were inspired by customer feedback. More breathability and flexibility with a perforated, molded foam chassis; improved fade-resistance with new materials; updated "flopper stopper" system for easier use when stabilizing saddlebags, new stash pocket configuration.

Check out this article if you need help choosing the right pack.

    Seems Like A Great Gift

    The material feels very high quality. There is an abundant amount of space with all the pockets and water bladders. I love that you can remove the saddlebags too if your dog needs to be rid of them for a bit!

    I love this size

    This has been great to have my dog carry her own water and food along on longer hikes. It fits great and is easy to use.

    This thing is rad!!

    If you need a well built harness for your Staffy Pitty, this fits like a glove. I've been thru half dozen Amazon knock offs before I got smart. This is the last harness I'll need to buy
