Ruffwear Approach Pack, Blue Dusk
NEWLY DESIGNED
A backcountry day pack and light overnight pack with excellent performance, fit, and functionality. Radial cut saddlebags attached to an integrated harness with a breathable chassis.
WHAT'S NEW
A staple in our pack lineup, the Approach Pack's updates were inspired by customer feedback.
- More breathability and flexibility with a perforated, molded foam chassis
- Overall weight savings and improved colorfastness with new materials
- Updated "flopper stopper" system for easier use when stabilizing saddlebags against the harness chassis
- More streamlined, refined saddlebag volumes
The Approach Pack is an everyday dog pack that 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 backpack is comfortable and allows dogs to carry trail necessities on day hikes and light overnight adventures with their humans.
A good rule of thumb for how much dogs can carry in their packs is no more than 25% of their bodyweight. If your dog is new to dog packs, start with a light load and slowly work up to a heavier load as they get used to wearing the pack.
