Two ways to wear it
The bags come off
Most dog packs are a pack and nothing else. Take the saddlebags off the Saranac and you still have a full harness, which is the part your dog wears the rest of the trip.


One purchase, two pieces of gear. A harness this well-built runs $60 on its own, which is most of what the Saranac costs before the saddle bags are even on it.

Saranac Pack
For the days on the trails
Two zippered saddlebags with a neon liner, so you can find the treats without unpacking the whole thing. Take the bags off and the harness stays on, which makes it the piece of gear that comes on every walk, not just the big ones.
- Veteran owned
- Ships in 1 business day
- 30-day returns
*Three sizes, M to XL. Fits dogs 25 to 120 lbs.
Us vs. the other guys
Built different, on purpose
Seven things we changed, and what they add up to.
The Saranac
Built to do two jobs
- The bags come off in seconds and the harness stays on, so there is no second piece of gear to buy, fit or carry.
- A brush guard runs across the chest and shoulders, so cover hits the pack instead of your dog.
- Every compartment closes on a waterproof zipper, so food stays dry through a downpour or a creek crossing.
- A neon liner lights up the inside. Reach in, find the treats, keep walking.
- Six adjustment points hold the bags level, even on a steep descent.
- A padded rope handle sits over the shoulders, so you can steady or lift your dog without twisting a strap.
- $84 to $88 depending on size, and that one price covers both the pack and the harness.
The other guys
Built to do one
- Bags are sewn in. Take the pack off and you still need a harness for every other day.
- Narrow straps across the chest, which is where a dog pushes through brush.
- Standard zippers, so wet weather gets into the compartments.
- Dark interior, so finding anything means unpacking it.
- Fewer adjustment points, which is how packs end up hanging off one side.
- Handle stitched flat to the fabric, if there is one at all.
- $120 and up for a pack that does the same thing, or two separate purchases at around $60 each.
