Please do not use saddlebag capacity as your only sizing consideration; use the girth fit for best results. Fit: The pack's harness should have an all-around snug fit to prevent movement or shifting of the saddlebags. Be sure that each saddlebag has an equal and balanced load. When fitting the Palisades Pack, remove the saddlebags from the harness for easy fitting and adjustment. Then reattach the saddlebags when ready to go. Hydration System: The Palisades Pack™ is equipped with two water bladders, on carried on each side of the pack. The bladders dispense water to keep your dog well hydrated on the trail. In addition to carrying water, the bladders cushion the load, aid in cooling the dog, and can be used to trim and balance the load from side to side. Removable Saddlebag System: Four side-release buckles make it easy to attach and detach the pack's saddlebags. The pack's four-point "X" mount connection stretches the pack of the harness. Remove the saddlebags for easy harness fitting, at rest stops, and for water crossings.
