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.

Eva R. ★★★★★

The roomy saddlebags held everything we needed for a weekend out, and the cross-load compression kept the load from shifting on steep climbs. My dog moved comfortably the whole time.

Christopher U. ★★★★★

We took this on a four-day trip through the Sierra and those cross-load compression straps kept the load tight even when she scrambled over rocks. The saddlebags have surprising capacity for a dog pack, easily fitting her food and a collapsible bowl. It felt secure and balanced the whole time; she never tried to wriggle out of it.

Aurora G. ★★★★★

Finally had a chance to test the Palisades on a three-day trip up the mountain, and those roomy saddlebags really held everything—food, water, and even her sleeping pad. The cross-load compression straps kept everything snug and balanced, even on steep scrambles. My dog handled the extra weight without any wobbling, so we’re both happy.
