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.

Great fit and thoughtfully designed
After getting my Great Pyrenees mix Atlas well accustomed to his smaller daypack on hikes and several backpacking trips, it was time to upgrade to the Palasides pack with more carrying capacity. So happy the new light blue color came out! He can now carry his sleeping bag, emergency evacuation sling (that we hope we never need), freeze-dried food, and other little items with plenty of room. I don’t ask him to carry more than 10% of his body weight, but having him carry some bulky lightweight items frees up room in my own pack. The harness fits GREAT - we used it on walks without the saddlebags for a while to make sure all the adjustments were perfect before we took it on a trip. I spent time carefully weighing out which items to carry in each saddlebag to make sure everything was even. The saddlebags are a little fiddly to attach when the harness is already on the dog, and same with the flopper stopper snap loops. But that’s mostly because Atlas doesn’t like to stand perfectly still. Once fastened through, the whole setup is very secure and we had zero issues with sliding around, saddlebags shifting to the sides, pressure points, or anything else! Feels like it was custom made just for him. Well done RuffWear!

Never Disappointed with Ruffwear
With backpacking season coming up, we needed to get a harness/pack combo for our GSD pup to be able to come out with us. These packs have held up well throughout our dogs years, and this one did not disappoint. Fit our girl very well, she was able to walk freely along the hike part while carrying 3 days of food, her coat to sleep in, and some toys for the lake.

Durable and Functional
Very impressed with this harness and pack. Our husky mix wore it for a two-day trip over rocky terrain. She never once showed signs of discomfort. The pack fit securely on the harness and is easy to remove and put back on. The two 1L bladders are great for balancing the load. Our pup is about 40 lbs and wears a small.
