Switchbak™ Dog Harness

harness with pockets

Color

Selected: Granite Gray

The Switchbak Harness has the padded comfort of an everyday dog harness with handle, plus the bonus functionality carrying small essentials. The two low-profile zippered pockets have room to stash those day-to-day necessities like pick-up bags, a leash, or some treats.

It features two leash attachment options: a V-ring centered on the back and a reinforced webbing loop at the chest, great for redirecting dogs that pull on leash. Dial in the right fit with high adjustability and a padded belly strap - critical for stable gear carry and when giving a little boost with the low-profile handle. All in all, the Switchbak melds comfort and convenience into a performance harness ready for both town and trail.

    Great fit

    Sizing was accurate, harness looks great and works well I can keep what my dog needs in the pockets and when they are empty you can hardly tell they are there. Love it!

    We love our Switchback

    Having a beagle who can back out of a regular harness. The third strap has been a game changer. I also love the pockets for carrying various items.

    Perfect harness

    Easy to use while still giving you a little room to pack water, waste, etc. but still be streamlined and quick. Not a pack, but just what I wanted for long hikes. My dog looks great in it too.

    Love our Switchback Harness

    This harness is perfect for our weekend hikes! The pockets are big enough for the essentials (poop bags, snacks, and sunscreen). I got the small for my six month old puppy. Fits a bit big but that's ok. He will grow into it!
