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.

Jacob L. ★★★★★

The cross-load compression straps are a game-changer for keeping the load balanced on uneven terrain — our gear stayed put through a 20-mile stretch. My pup didn't slow down once, and the roomy saddlebags held two days of food plus water bowls with room to spare.

Matthew V. ★★★★★

My dog is a giant breed and these saddlebags still fit her comfortably, they're genuinely roomy for multi-day trips. The cross-load straps kept everything stable on a steep scramble, so I never had to adjust anything mid-hike. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Adam ★★★★★

The cross-load compression straps cinch those saddlebags down tight, so nothing bounced around even on the rocky scrambles. My pup cleared 10 miles a day without a single rub mark, and it held up like a tank.
