Thread: Dog Packs?

  1. #1

    Default Dog Packs?

    My dogs have used Granite Gear dogpacks and Kelty dogpacks. I think the Kelty rides better. Does anyone have any experience with other kinds of dogpacks?

    i have experience with mountain smith's dog pack. it is positively the worst, most poorly designed, piece of $hit i've ever purchased for trail use.

    .....my dog agrees with me too......

    there is a german brand called Fährmann, they got pretty good dog packs, and the dog of a customers got one for his hike in northern sweden. they were perfect.

    another company comes from norway, it´s called nordtro. and the packs are said to be the best in europe. they´re called laika.....try to get them through the net.......good luck

    The Kelty Chuckwagon Dog pack has been the best by far. Fits my dog like a glove.

    we had the same experience ... tried the Granite Gear and settled on Kelty's ChuckWagon.
