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.

Check out this article if you need help choosing the right pack.

    Best dog pack on the market.

    I have had a Palisades Pack for each of my 3 dogs. The first pack I had was given to a friend for their dog when mine passed away. I bought one for my next dog and he had it for about 6 years we have done lots of adventures together with him in it, and now as he has gotten too old for long hikes over rough Terrain, my new puppy decided to shred it. He tore the webbing apart. Oh well, he was 5 months old and just getting his adult teeth in. So here we are at #3. The puppy now at 9 months, that destroyed my old 12 year’s old pack, has a brand new pack of his own. So unless you accidentally let your new puppy destroy it, these harnesses and packs will last for a lifetime of the dog.

    Awesome

    I have a border collie and when we go hiking and camping, she can carry her own gear and food. That really helps me. Its become a team effort.
