The saddlebag is fully removable to lighten your dog's load and leave you with a durable dog harness. The harness chassis is laminated and features moulded bonded mesh with perforated foam for breathability and comfort.

This dog backpack can keep up with even the best adventure dogs. The harness portion of this pack has aluminum hardware with non-slip girth straps and Hypalon fasteners for added durability.
