Dog Backpack Harness, Dog Saddle Bag | Dog/K9 Harness + Detachable Backpack

I bought this for my 1 1/2 yr old working DDR male German shepherd. I go for daily 3+ mile hikes above my home in rural Washington State where I usually climb 1,000 vertical feet. I bought this to mainly fill the molle pouches with lead shot to slow my male GSD down and keep him closer while we hike. This pack did exactly what i thought it would. Great quality, but i bought a large knowing that he was probably on the smaller side of large but felt he would grow into it. Its to big. If I had to do it over again, I would buy the medium as the large had to be synched tight. The Molle pouches are secured with snaps that did come unsnapped with the weight I had in them but would probably be fine with a lighter load. I will work on finding a way to better secure the pouches. Overall, its a good looking and very functional pack that cause no irritation to my dog and he never tried to throw the packs or bite at them.

This is a great utility vest but the packs that attach are not strong enough if the dog is running through brush or thick cover. We lost one of the packs on the first day since the buttons come lose too easily — if there was a more secure way to attach it to the vest I think that would be best. And the packs could be longer - there's not enough room in the pack for a water bottle for instance and that's the primary reason we purchased it.

We take our rotties everywhere and being working dogs, they definitely like having a job to do. The SSGLex harness is perfect for them. We attach our molle water, accessory bags and IFAK kits to their harnesses when hiking and camping. The harness has an upper and chest d-ring which provides good options when training or better control is needed. The harness is well-made and seems very durable. Great piece of kit.

The best thing is that my dog doesent pull when he is wearing the harness, it also gives him a purpose when he has to carry his own things like his potty bags, water bowl, etc. it is comfortable for him and he also loved it. We got the leash and the collar too and they’re just such great products, best on the market.

No problems after a couple backpacking trips. Heavy pulling on skateboard. She loves putting it on.

I have 2 dogs, a Husky and a Samoyed. I got these harnesses to try to have a slip-resistant harness because my dogs figured out how to slip out of all other harnesses lol. I had NO IDEA these harnesses had a No Pull ring at the front. Not only that, but the quality felt amazing. I can actually feel the difference in quality. ALSO my Husky is an extremely strong puller when I walk him. I always end up with an imprinted leash mark around my hands and arms. I have tried everything but nothing has worked so I accepted my faith. With this harnesses No Pull ring, it was like I was walking a completely different doggy. He barely pulled at all and for the first time since he was a small pup, I didn't struggle to walk him today LOL thanks so much Goat Trail Tactical! The only thing I recommend is more color options and possibly some way to roll up the slack off the adjustment straps so my dogs don't look like the Predator running around. Other than that, beautiful harnesses ! I actually ordered some leashes from Goat Trail so I'm excited to try those too!

I think the harness was probably made very well but unfortunately my Shepski had it chewed up with in 3 days so we didn't have much experience with it. I'm currently back to a collar.

The quality of the vest appears to be fair quality, though the sizing is a little off. If you have a shepherd, go up a size. I followed the measuring instructions and it's simply to small, do yourself a favor and go up a size.
That said, if you are looking for high quality, look elsewhere, this vest is FAIR quality and falls short of a long term use item.
