Mountainsmith Dog Trippin' Large Kit

good product

give thought to balanced load. thermos in 1 side didn't work with dog treats in the other. not a fault with the pack - but a consideration with what to bring...

Very impressed with this pack! I use it on my 60 lbs lab mix. It amazed me how it stayed on and balanced the whole time even as my dog ran through brush and bumped into trees. Just make sure you balance the two sides. Dog was able to carry his own food, water bottle (full), water bowl, leash, and light sticks which i clip on him when it's dark (among other uses). It's great to be able to save yourself 5-10 lbs of weight. Especially when you are doing 5+ days in the woods and take your climbing gear with you.

Bought only the pack at [...] to find the Trippin' Kit, with addition gear, at STP for about $20 less during holiday special. What can I say, it was a small Christmas miracle. Pack has quite a bit of storage space and fits well. Since it is not in the product description, the large pack is best for a Mastive or St. Bernard size dog. Medium size would be best for a German Short Hair or Weimaraner. Handle on top and draw cord on top are nice additional features. Have used the pack twice and it gets the job done. No more dog food in my back.

I love this pack and I can't wait to get the dog out for some snowshoeing this winter. The pack is so comfortable the dog doesn't even know he's wearing it sometimes.

Great fit and easily adjustable for extended day hikes.

I bought this pack for my golden retriever for Christmas. Ok it was for me :) But last summer when we would go on hikes I always wished he had a pack to carry his water and our keys. I'm very excited to get to use this as soon as the warm weather approaches again. My only recommendation for the pack at this time (Seeing as I haven't used it yet), is there is no outside pocket, like a mesh pocket you see on backpacks, to place a water bottle for easy access. Overall I'm happy with my purchase.

haven't used this on a hike yet because it is too cold, but it fits well and can adjust to make it tighter when he is running. i have a 90 lb chessie and it doesn't bother him at all when we have been running around and playing. the bowls, leash and blanket were a nice touch as well.

It's a great pack, but if you include all the 'extras' there isn't much room for water. I just think of them as bonus prizes that come with a great pack. 'Rover' sleeps with me so we don't really need the bed on hikes anyway. Well thought out pack.

Purchased this for my dog but it was way too big for him. He is 65 pounds but the pack could not adjust small enough for him. He has a large chest and thought that large is what he needed. The quality of the pack was good and the included items were just an added bonus to this well made pack. Wish I could have made it work for him.
