Approach II Pack The packs pictured on this website are not the correct ones. They are the old models. This pack is a great pack, except for the fact that it's saddlebags are not quite as big as some other packs available. It also only has one zipper on each bag, which can be a pain. On the top, at the rear of the pack, there is a seam at the base of the grab handle. It rubs a spot on my dog's back. I had to line it with fleece, and it still messes up her fur there, and I imagine it can be uncomfortable if she wears it for long periods of time. THIS is a flaw that I feel the manufacturer should consider fixing. Other than those three things, though, the pack is a great pack! I LOVE the spiderweb harness. It makes it much easier for the dog because the pack doesn't restrict shoulder movement.

Altrec/Vendor Response: The iamge for this pack has been updated to the current model.

Great gear! Size small to larger have detachable packs, which is great for teaching the dog how to wear the harness before using the entire pack. XS and XXS do not. The only caution I would give is that these sizes rum large. My Jack Russell Terrier wwears XS. The small size fits a 45-55 pound dog easily.

I love this backpack! I ordered the backpack, because I decided my pit bull and I needed to trek in the rainforest. So I ordered the backpack, picked expedited shipping and received it early! It held up in the muddy rough terrain, carrying everything. It didn't rub her, and barely hindered her. I was very pleased with the space provided in the pack, and the overall quality. Then again, Ruff Wear isn't know for faulty products. As for sizing, I got a small for my 51 pound pit bull. And it's as tightend as possible. If I had gotten the xsmall, it would fit nominally better, but by very little. The Harness also is very sturdy. I usually have a backup system to protect my dog from other dogs, by using a coupler linked to her collar. When ever she rushed ahead of me on the rocks, I was able to steady us both with this backup system. Overall, I'm very pleased!!!! I haven't washed it yet, but I have a feeling if you do it correctly, it'll hold up!
