Description of Ruffwear Palisades Pack II:
The totally redesigned Palisades Pack II offers a complete component system making it the paws down favorite for backcountry excursions. An internal compression strap system keeps loads high and tight for snag free navigation and an improved center of gravity adds to a dog's overall mobility. The spiderweb chassis harness addresses load distribution, fitting and comfort so your pooch will never whimper about back pain. The harness also features a relocated assistance handle to improve balance when you have to help him over those boulders. Elliptically-shaped saddlebags made of 1680-Denier ballistic nylon create a durable, low profile gear-carrying pack. Two side-release Delrin buckles connect the pack and harness, allowing the chassis and saddlebags to easily separate for fitting, water crossings and rest stops. Pockets placed in strategic locations accommodate leads, treats, pick-up bags, and other accessories. The Palisades Pack II comes with two hydration bladders, one carried in each side of the pack that not only carry water but cushion the dog from gear and food within the pack, aid in keeping the dog cool, and can be used to balance the load from side to side.

Bottom Line: The redesigned Palisades Pack II is feature-filled expedition weight dog pack for experienced backcountry hounds.

Let your dog carry its weight!   06-20-07
El_Viajero (8): rank
I spent a lot of time checking out all of the dog packs on the market before settling on the Palisade. My dog took to the pack almost immediately - no problems with fitting or comfort, just the novel idea of carrying a load that quickly passed. It's a bit pricier, but it has all the features I was looking for and then some. In particular, the water bladders are a blessing as having to lug water for yourself and pooch on a long day hike on a hot day is unpleasant! In addition to the other features listed, the pack includes fleece lined belly straps for comfort and reflective piping for visibility. The removable saddle bags allow you to give your dog a break while on the trail or if it's going for swim. Overall, well worth the price!

Great pack   07-10-07

This is a really great pack. My dog has only taken it on one hike so far, but it worked really well. The water bladders allow you to balance the pack really well. Be careful not to put too much water in the bladders....it gets really heavy. Being able to remove the pack from the harness is a definite plus. I was able to take all of the weight off my dog and still use the harness (with lifting handle) to lift him over boulders on the summit. The compression straps don't work all that well...but that is a very minor complaint. All and all, I couldn't be happier with this pack.

Sweet pack   12-27-07

This doesn't compare to any other pack. It's top notch! I trained both of my Aussies load carrying with a cheap Kelty pack. After the first desert trip the pack broke and left me carrying everything. This pack is perfect for the Utah desert. The internal water bladders are ideal for long hot sandy trudges. You'll never have to worry about your dogs finding the next water hole. The material is very, very strong and there's enough room for 6 beers on each side. Perfect!
