Ruffwear Approach™ Full Day Pack Handled Dog Harness

Roam further with the Approach™ Pack, a day hiking and light overnight dog pack with excellent performance, fit, and functionality. Radial cut saddlebags – sized right for extending day hikes and venturing into light overnights – create a passive compression system for efficient load-carrying over the shoulders. They rest on an integrated harness with a breathable chassis that enhances comfort and pack stability. With lightweight materials, a streamlined design, and mindful gear organization, the Approach Pack sparks instant motivation for canines seeking deeper exploration on the trail with their human.

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.

• STABLE GEAR CARRY radial cut, weight-forward saddlebags and "flopper stoppers" stabilize pack and contents to minimize bounce

• STRONG CONNECTIONS with 2 leash attachment points: V-ring and reinforced webbing loop on back

• PADDED HANDLE & GIRTH STRAPS offer even load dispersion for controlled and comfortable lifting when your dog needs a boost

• KEEP GEAR ORGANIZED with vertical stash pocket for organizing gear and storing heavier items like food and water closer to dog
