Palisades Pack

Modular | 6 Points of Adjustment | Reflective Trim

The Ruffwear Palisades™ Pack is a high-capacity, modular backpacking pack designed for dogs accompanying their handlers on overnight trips and multi-day backcountry adventures. Combining a breathable harness with removable saddlebags, the Palisades™ Pack allows dogs to comfortably carry food, water, sleeping gear, and trail essentials while providing the flexibility to remove the saddlebags for rest breaks, stream crossings, or day hikes from camp.

Engineered for comfort and stability, the Palisades™ Pack features molded, perforated EVA foam back and belly panels for enhanced breathability during extended wear. Radial-cut, weight-forward saddlebags with "flopper stoppers" help keep loads stable over uneven terrain, while six points of adjustment create a secure, customized fit. Internal mesh pockets, external gear loops, and integrated zippered pockets on the harness provide versatile organization for everything from meals to hydration and trail accessories. Three leash attachment points, a padded lift handle, reflective trim, and a Beacon™ light loop complete this adventure-ready pack.
