Ruff Wear's Singletrak Pack

GSDElsa · 03-29-2010, 12:16 PM

OMG!!!!! April 1st is almost here!!!!

I'm dying to get my hands on this dog pack! I know it's going to cost an arm and a leg, but I've been waiting with bated breath for this thing. It better come out on time!!! I have GOT to get my hands on it before our first Adirondack High Peak at the end of April.

What’s New at Ruff Wear blog for active outdoor dogs

We've just been having too many problems with other packs being way too bulky to try and mess with on serious climbs. This looks so nice and streamlined.......

Hopefully REI gets it in so I can use my 20% off coupon and dividend on the purchase.

It's definitely pricey!

I'd like to actually see it too, it's really hard to tell how big the packs are just looking at it online. I'd be concerned that they'd actually be TOO small. We don't go backpacking or anything, but it can get pretty hot here, and there were a few times last summer that 2 one liter platypus bottles was not enough water for Keefer & me. I bought two more bottles which will easily fit in his Approach pack and he'll still be well within a safe weight range for him even if he carries all 4. I'm not sure you could even fit a one liter bottle in the Singletrak packs. I know it will be excellent quality though, I'm really pleased with the Approach packs.

I know, it does look super teeny. It's so hard for us. We really need Elsa to carry her own water on our overnight backpacking trips, but with other packs she CONSTANTLY is getting hung up on stuff. Stuck between boulders...snagged when bushwacking.

I'm hoping that the 2 bladders would be ok for her for 1 day, then we could refill upstream at some point and filter (easy for dogs--as long as the micro bugs are dead, the small twigs and such are not such a big deal).

Reason #2 for wanting to order from REI is that, no questions asked, I can return it even if it's been used and abused if I don't think it will meet our needs.

Oh that's true, I forgot about that. They're 1/2 liter, right? Or am I remembering that wrong too?

Debbie,

Yes, I believe you're correct. That's what I remember reading in a description on a "coming soon" website.
