Comments about Ruffwear Palisades Dog Pack:

We use this as a pack and just the harness as well. When it's just the harness it can take quite a bit of fussing to get it balanced perfectly. Even when you have it figured out with the balance (harness) it wont stay that way, you'll need to tweak it every few times you use it, which can be frustrating. When using the pack, you of course need to have each side perfectly even with weight to keep it balanced. The velcro (which is essential to keep the pack stable) is junk. After a few months they didn't hold closed at all and I had to put snap buttons on the velcro tabs, which worked well. After about 8 months one of the velcro tabs tore off from the pack so I have now returned it to REI. I'm very thankful they have such a great return policy. For the amount of money this pack cost, it should be made a lot better. I would only recommend this to a friend simply because I haven't found any company that makes a better one.

Comments about Ruffwear Palisades Dog Pack:

I mainly use this pack for hiking, camping and fishing trips. It is great having my dog carry all his own food, water and generally some of my gear too. He is my fishing tackle box when I take him with me. Great because I can just call him and my tackle box runs to me.

The build quality is top notch. Thorns and general rubbing on rough surfaces have not showed any apparent wear. The fit can be a little finicky at first, but once you get it fit to your dog it is pretty smooth sailing. I have found that the straps can loosen themselves but a quick knot or safety pin can help keep them in place.

I had an issue with my dog eating the harness on the first one I bought. I called up Ruffwear and received truly great customer service. I had a replacement harness sent to me for a small replacement fee; much better than having to buy the whole thing again (which I would have). Great product that comes with great customer service, can't beat it.

Comments about Ruffwear Palisades Dog Pack:

I absolutely love this pack. I was leary of the price, but very glad I didn't go with a cheaper one. This has all the features I was looking for and seems to be very durable. My puppy has been using it for about 3-4 months now and it still looks new. The attaching ring for the leash is a bit difficult to get to with the pack on, but this is only a minor issue. I love that the pack is removeable and the opening for the handle is large enough to pass a large reel type leash thru keeping you pet secure during beauty breaks. The harness fits nicely, a bit difficult to adjust but strong enough for me to pick Kona up and over large obstacles. Buy this one, not the others.

Comments about Ruffwear Palisades Dog Pack:

I was going to avoid the new Palisades because I preferred the colors of the older version... then a few weeks after the new Palisades pack was released a buckle got smashed on our old pack!
This one is holding up nicely, with a great added feature: covered buckles!
It's still sturdy and convenient, though I personally miss the old water bladders. The newer kind are easier to use, but the stiffer plastic doesn't open to hold as much water as before.

Comments about Ruffwear Palisades Dog Pack:

First the bad, this I assume will be the same for every saddle bag type pack, but both sides have to be the exact same weight or the pack will start to ride to one side. I took a camera out of one pouch and put it in the other side and within minutes it was riding to that side. Other then that this pack is great! It is really put together well. I like how you can use just the harness part alone. When you first use it beware of your dog, mine almost pushed myself and my buddy off a cliff because he walks really close and the pack hit us in the back of the leg.
