The Ruffwear Approach Pack is an everyday pack with excellent performance, fit, and functionality. It provides dogs with the ability to efficiently carry a load, generating instant four-legged motivation to explore. The integrated harness enhances fit, pack stability and overall performance. Radial cut saddlebags create a passive compression system that is form fitting and better load carrying. Combined with the lightweight materials and a streamlined design, the Approach Pack is comfortable and allows dogs to carry trail necessities. Great for day hikes and overnight adventures. It's recommended that your dog carry no more than 25% of their body weight in their dog pack. If your dog is new to dog packs, start with a light load and work up to a heavier load as your dog gets accustomed to wearing the pack. The 2017 Approach Pack is available in 4 sizes. Select the correct size based on your dog's girth (measurement around the widest part of the rib cage). X-Small: 17-22 inches (43-56 cm); Small: 22-27 inches (56-69 cm); Medium: 27-32 inches (69-81 cm); Large/X-Large: 32-42 inches (81-107 cm). Washing Instructions: Secure the fasteners; Hand wash with mild detergent; Air dry.
Technical Details
- EFFICIENT LOAD CARRYING: The radial cut, weight-forward saddlebag design creates passive compression that stabilizes the pack's contents and provides your dog with a comfortable method to carry the essentials for your trip. The pack's convenient, easy-access stash pockets are perfect for often used items and the capacity is ideal for overnight adventures.
- COMFORTABLE AND DURABLE: The Approach's streamlined design and lightweight materials provide a comfortable fit and long-term durability. The padded handle offers an optimal balance point with good load dispersion for controlled and comfortable lifting (lift only as high as your dog can safely jump, as the buckles are not strength-rated for high-angle rope work).
- INTEGRATED HARNESS AND REFLECTIVE TRIM: The Approach's integrated harness enhances fit, pack stability and overall performance. It includes 2 leash attachment points: a single piece, anodized aluminum V-ring and a webbing loop. The reflective trim allows you to keep an eye on your dog, even in low-light environments.
- NON-SLIP STRAPS AND 5 POINTS OF ADJUSTMENT: The Approach's non-slip girth straps are easy to adjust, secure, and have pads to distribute load and increase comfort while lifting. Five points of adjustment allow you to create a customized fit specifically for your dog enabling a full range of motion.
- APPROACH PACK SIZING: The 2017 Approach Pack is available in 4 sizes (see images for sizing chart): X-Small: 17-22 inches (43-56 cm); Small: 22-27 inches (56-69 cm); Medium: 27-32 inches (69-81 cm); Large/X-Large: 32-42 inches (81-107 cm). Choose the right size based on your dog's girth. Girth can be determined by measuring around the widest part of the rib cage. For in between sizes, choose the smaller size.
