Ruff Wear Palisades Pack (2008) Dog Backpack

Product Highlights

Updated for 2008! Boasting sturdy construction, full adjustability for optimal fit and a wide array of high-end features, the Ruff Wear Palisades Pack provides the highest performance available in dog backpacks. From an innovative harness and integrated hydration system to an internal compression system and pocket after pocket, Ruff Wear has thought of everything in building a pack that is ready for extended use and rugged conditions.

Constructed of durable ballistic nylon, the Palisades Pack's zippered low-profile saddlebags are designed to withstand the rigors of backcountry activity, provide ample storage space and keep the load comfortably balanced. A weight-forward design makes certain that the load is ideally situated to avoid hampering your dog's natural gait. A contoured, athletic cut provides your dog with a close-fitting performance fit. Large pockets on each saddlebag soak up food, bowls, first aid supplies and other gear. Smaller zippered pockets on the top of each saddlebag are perfect for stashing treats or pick-up bags. Additional pockets on the outside of each saddlebag offer further storage space and house innovative compression straps that allow you to easily adjust and secure the load within the Palisades Pack, ensuring optimal weight distribution and maneuverability.

Eliminating the need for extraneous straps, a patented Web Master spider-web harness provides superior fit, load-carrying stability and support. The interior lining of the harness utilizes EVA closed-cell foam to cushion the weight and protect your dog from excessive rubbing and hot spots. Your dog is further protected from rub by a fleece-lined covering that wraps around the Palisades Pack's woven straps. Reflective trim adds visibility and makes the Palisades Pack easy to spot at night.

Side release buckles and sturdy hardware make the Palisades Pack easy to take on and off and provide multiple adjustment points to ensure that your dog enjoys the best possible fit. The saddlebags can actually be quickly and easily disconnected entirely from the harness, making it easier to make fitting adjustments, protect the contents of the saddlebags during water crossings and allow your dog to better enjoy rest stops without ever having to remove the harness. An integrated handle on the top of the Palisades Pack allows you to easily carry the pack when your dog isn't wearing it and serves as an assistance handle when your dog needs a helping hand for on-trail obstacles. Waterproof zippers on the saddlebags ensure that the contents of the Approach pack remain dry and secure.

Another stand-out feature on the Palisades Pack is an integrated hydration system in each of the saddlebags. Built-in water bladders allow your dog to carry his own water and, as an added bonus, they help to cushion your dog from the gear contained in the saddlebags and aid your dog in maintaining a cool body temperature! Wide mouth openings make the bladders easy to fill and integrated hoses make it a cinch to dispense water without having to remove the bladders from the saddlebags.

The Ruff Wear Palisades Pack has a Red/Black color scheme and is available in three sizes. Please see the provided sizing chart for measurement instructions and suggested fit. NOTE: For in-between sizes, choose the smaller pack for a lighter load and less bulk.
