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.

Leo E. ★★★★★

Took this on a three-day trip and the cross-load compression kept everything from bouncing even when my lab was scrambling over rocks. The saddlebags swallowed way more gear than I expected for the size.

Robert ★★★★★

My dog carries his own food and bowl now, which honestly changed how far we can go in a day. The saddlebags swallow way more than I expected and the cross-load compression keeps everything from bouncing on descents. Three days out and he didn't seem bothered once.

Kevin G. ★★★★★

Took this on a three-day trip and the saddlebags swallowed way more than I expected—two days of kibble plus a collapsible bowl fit easily. The cross-load compression straps kept everything from bouncing around on the descents, which my dog definitely appreciated.
