Have owned it for several months now and taken it out a couple times for hikes. My dog is a 75lbs shepherd mix who is pretty stout at the chest, with some adjustment to harness it fits perfectly and she has no problems with it. She actually likes it quite a bit and seems to feel important while wearing it haha. Not to mention she gets lots of compliments while wearing it (it is pretty cute with the bright color). Now that being said it does have some flaws. It does list heavily to one side unless you take care to perfectly balance the weight in both sides. Try matching water bottles on both side and try to keep their levels pretty close while using it. Also I wouldn't try to lift or hold a heavy dog by the handle. Or attach your leash to the harness itself, it is just not strong enough to be trusted like that. While climbing I grabbed the handle to help lift her while she climbed a large rock and immediately heard a tearing sound. I don't see any damage and I'll still use the pack. It works great to help her burn energy and keep my hands water bottle free. So for me I think it was worth the price even with its limits.Update: I've now owned this backpack for several years and still use it for every hike! I now own two more dogs and the backpack fits all of them with adjustments. The smallest dog is probably about 55-60lbs. She's a fairly small female pitbull mix with a broad chest. It also fits well on my athletic male Labrador who weighs about 70lbs, but has a much taller more slender frame than my two girls. It's held up well through the years and all 3 dogs have no problem with it. It actually seems to help my timid rescue dog's confidence when she wears it. Definitely worth the money!

I bought this because I wanted an easier way (for me) to carry around my dog's collapsible water bowl and water for both us while on walks, runs, and hikes. I'm not sure how my dog feels about it, except that I think she occasionally forgets she has it on and she bumps the sides into things, which she finds annoying. But otherwise, I think she's ok with it. The fit is pretty good, but does take some adjustment and trial and error. The side pockets are great, and expand out to hold a lot of stuff. You do have to be careful to keep the weight balanced, otherwise it does have a tendency to slide to one side or the other. That would be my only complaint. Seems like no matter what I do to adjust it or how careful I am to keep it balanced, it's always sliding to one side or the other, thus causing me to have it adjust it a lot during our walk/runs. I was worried the straps might cause irritation or abrasions, as has happened with other harnesses I've tried with my dog (she has very thin fur under her armpits and on her belly), but there were no problems with that at all. This isn't perfect, but it is pretty good, and I do recommend it.

I got this to use on walks with my high energy lab/pointer rescue mix. We live in the city and regular leash walks, no matter how long, don't begin to cut it. I read that using weighted backpacks is a great way to increase the efficiency of the walk and tire them out more easily. I got this today and really like it! The two belly straps means it doesn't slide around at all on the dog, and the side pockets are actually quite large, with very reflective patches. The bottom zippers are merely to increase the pouches' expandability. The only thing I don't get is why there is a D ring to clip a leash because the end of the backpack falls right in the center of the dog's back, so you'd be trying to get control from their mid-section. Seems weird to me... But either way the backpack is great. It is definitely not the most high end and high quality, but gets the job done without spending $50+ dollars. My dog is 65 pounds, lean and tall, and the large fits him well (with the belly straps tightened up pretty far).

Edited To Add: Kygen is just OutwardHound now and they have a new site address. I thought I should update my review since I did state you should go to the Kyjen site. Now to make sure you are getting the proper sizing before you order here just go to and go to GEAR then hit backpacks. :o)I had to return this pack becuase the measurements were wrong. My suggestion to you is to please, go to Kyjen's website and look at the measurements for this particular pack. They make more than one pack and I've noticed people listing measurements for the wrong pack. That's what happened to me and becuase of it I had to return it.However I was able to purchase the right size somewhere else and felt I could come back and let you know how things are going so far..Do note, this pack is smaller than their other packl.It's lightweight which helps in the heat.She is able to hold her two bowls (which fold flat, see my review for them if interested) some food and some other small items like eye wipes, clips etc. I carry the water but if it was placed in a flat, or small round bottle this pack fits it just fine.She loves it, and this is a dog that does not like to be harnessed. She puts up with it but doesn't jump for joy when she is in her regular walking harness.So far it's held up fine. My dog is an Aussie and likes having jobs. She does search, herding, she hikes, swims and we even allow her to go into our house first when we get home as she likes to do a full check before we come in. A lot of the time she is wearing a pack (except for herding)It's nice to have her things all together as well with out using one of the larger packs. The handle on the top turns it into a carrying case for her items when she's not wearing it and it's light enough to just pack into my bag as well.It looks really nice too. I will update this review with a photo soon.

Lieferung aus den USA dauerte 14 Tage, also i.O. Der Rucksack selbst ist für das Geld echt sehr gut! Verarbeitung Top und man kann es großräumig verstellen. Haben eine Akitadame mit ca. 28kg und Größe L. In jede Tasche passt leicht eine 1L Milchpackung. Das Ding ist genial. Wenn man die Taschen gleichmäßig belädt verrutscht es auch nicht. Allerdings würde ich die Leine eher an einem zusätzlichen Halsband anbringen, da sonst der Rucksack links oder rechts verrutscht.

Great product! Huge improvement from my husky's last backpack in terms of comfort and fitting. It is lightweight and he doesn't mind wearing outside of walk time too. Easy to adjust sizing but may take a little time to acclimatise dogs not used to backpacks (requires them to fit leg and head through loops).Here he is carrying 1kg of baked beans.

Now that we've used the pack, I'm really confused about some of the negative reviews here, so wanted to add my two cents, since the negative reviews almost stopped me from buying this. This is a fabulous day pack (we live downtown in a big city and it's perfect for our day trips and adventures, walking 1-3 hours on a normal terrain). It's a day pack, it's not advertised for use as a hunting or forest hiking pack, so I'm not sure why so many reviewers bought it for that purpose and then left bad reviews - there are more expensive and sturdy packs for those purposes. This pack does run a bit large - my boy is 37lbs and has a 24" chest, so according to the sizing charts a medium should fit him perfectly, however we had to tighten the medium a LOT and now the excess straps have to be wrapped and tucked in so they don't hang around his underbelly and trip him - I think a small would have fit him a lot better. It doesn't slide to the side as long as the weight in the pack is even on both sides, and it's VERY easy to put on and remove. I wasn't confused about the straps at all, like other reviewers were...it has the exact same type of adjustable straps as a human backpack has, and once the initial size adjustments are done, there are buckles on every strap to easily snap this on and unbuckle to remove it quickly and effortlessly. A lot of reviewers were critical about the pack sliding when their dog plays in it - we use this for walking distances in the city, and I remove it when we arrive at our destination, so my dog doesn't wear it when he's playing. The only negative feedback I have is that the straps can feel a bit rough rubbing against my dog's underbelly, so it would be nice if Outward Hound would consider adding a soft cover to protect the belly (like a seatbelt cover type material). However, this is an easy fix, if I sew on a piece of felt or cotton myself. A lot of people have complained about the D-ring coming off. I walk my dog with a collar/leash so cannot comment on the D-ring, since we'll never be using it. The materials are good quality and the straps are sturdy, and stay in place once they've been properly adjusted. Anyway, this is a fabulous purchase, if you buy it for the intended purpose. My dog seems comfortable wearing it, and the pockets are substantial enough to carry quite a few supplies, dishes, water, snacks, poop bags etc. It's everything I hoped it would be, and is fabulous for day trips around the city. I'm so pleased!
