Great pack
I purchased a size MEDIUM for my 95 pound german shepherd and it fits him nicely. The construction is sturdy and the material is appropriate for the price, which I believe serves a weekend user perfectly(more intense users should really be purchasing the Palisades anyway for the quick release buckles). The zippers are waterproof, and I applied a waterproof spray which should help in most of the situations (it is water resistant from the factory which does not make sense since they put in waterproof zippers). Nicely padded where it should be and all buckles are covered keeping them away from chafing areas. Front harness system with the "Y yolk" is the centerpiece of the system, which brings the weight forward and distributes it nicely. The forward facing tear drop shape of the compartments also brings the weight forward, which differs from other bags. The stitching is top notch all the way around and it is a good looking pack. Highly recommend, however take the time to measure your dog according to the directions to ensure a good fit. Only upgrade would be to add a smaller compartment - 2 large compartments is all you get. It would be pretty easy to add one more small zippered compartment.

Great Goods
My dogs really took to the Approach Dog Pack and the Harness! Easy to adjust and the straps ends fit away neatly in the cushioned under piece. I LOVE THEM!! More importantly, so do doggies!

Great Quailty.
I had one from petsmart, and it tore apart really fast. I love the side strap on it, keeps it in place. The other one would hit me, when I walk or jog. This is great for high energy dogs. Now the 2 hours walks can at least tire them a little.
