Good Job Ruff Wear! This pack has it all! Great support, perfect balance, and roomy sidepacks. My Siberian and I do a lot of hiking in the wilderness areas of Montana and have never enjoyed a pack that performs as well as this one. One possible consideration from Ruff Wear would be to pad the shoulder straps. I did this after the first outing just because I wanted "Lily" to be more comfortable during a long haul. A product well worth the money!

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 for hiking or around town Just bought the Approach backpack II and my german shepherd loved it. The removable pack allows you to use the harness for around town. I highly recommend this backpack. We hiked the Adirondack Mt. and it sustained alot of abuse and still looks good.
