Review: Great Fit and Function - This backpack is awesome. It fits two 32oz Nalgene bottles. I got the medium and it fits snug on my 40lb fluffy dog. I really like the slick material that doesn't collect dog hair. The D ring is metal and sturdy. 10/10 I would buy this one again. I like it just as much as the ruffwear one my other dog has. And it's easier to put on too. The Ruffwear one has to go over the head and the dog doesn't enjoy that. This one clips around the dog easily. Review: Overall great, but the D ring broke - I bought this backpack for a 6+ mile hiking trip and overall it held up amazingly. I have a 65 lb pit bull mix and I got the large and it fit him very well when it was adjusted to almost as tight as it could go. It was able to hold a normal plastic water bottle on each side, his poop bags, and a bag of food, with a little room to spare. There are also small pockets on the outside of the backpack which was nice, I kept my chapstick in one. One major issue was that the D ring that came on the pack broke within a couple of hours. Thank goodness we had his regular harness on underneath (and it hooks in the front) so it wasn’t too much of an issue, but if you have a strong dog that pulls I would not recommend using the D ring on this pack, it opened right up. If you have a harness that hooks on the back of your dog this pack will not work with it. Other than that I love this backpack, it stayed in place and didn’t lean to one side at all except for when his leash pushed it that way since it latches in the front, but still nothing major. The material is strong and didn’t leave any marks on my dog even though he was pulling a lot before the D ring broke. Overall would recommend this product if you have a harness that would work with it or a dog that doesn’t pull. ## Features - HIGH-QUALITY HIKING GEAR: The Outward Hound DayPak is one of our bestselling and most popular dog backpacks.

I expected a pack similar to what we had borrowed--a one piece pack that slipped over the dog. What we got (as others have mentioned) was in TWO pieces. There's the bottom part that has two slim, mesh pockets on the side, and then the "handle" on top. Then you slip over the "saddlebag" portion which hash an opening in the middle, so it goes over the protruding "handle". This actually attaches to the bottom piece with a plastic closer. I contacted Outward Bound with questions and they said it's their Quick Release version. So actually, it's two harnesses in one, once you clip it in place. You could use the under layer by itself, but we use both. Now that I know, looking carefully at the photo, I can see it doesn't match ours. Our trainer recommended it for our 18 month old 82 pound hound/lab mix as he's got LOTS of energy. She had the older version (which was the style we expected) and put water bottles on each side to make him work a bit harder. It does a good job at that. He does heel better with it on. I also put his empty poop bags in it. Once the bags are "used" I carry them, as it would make the pack unbalanced. I've had no problems with it shifting at all, even when he shakes. As far as size, we got the large. Our guy is BIG and at first we thought it was too small, but we re-adjusted the straps and it fits fine. The packaging said there was also an XL, but I haven't seen it for sale anywhere, and he doesn't need it. (Some people think he's a Great Dane mix, nope) To get it off, we release the two side/bottom clips, then pull it over his head, as one piece. It's a little bit of a hassle and it may be easier to loosen the front straps, but it would be a hassle. To put it on, we slip it over his had and back and put his right foot thru, then strap him in.. We've had it about 2 weeks, and follow the advice of leaving the side zipper pockets with the bottles open slightly, to decrease the pulling on the zipper.However, there doesn't seem to be an issue. It's made much better than the picture or description shows.The top/under section of mesh, actually is quite soft, It's not really padded, but neither is it just rough mesh. He hasn't shown any discomfort from the straps or the mesh. We only use two bottles, one on each size, as our trainer tried four and it was just too heavy for him. We're not trying to weigh him down, just add a little more to his work out. ## Frequently Bought Together - Outward Hound Kyjen 22003 DayPak Dog Backpack Adjustable Saddlebag Style Dog Accessory, Medium, Blue - HALTI Control Lead Size Large Black, 2m, Professional Dog Lead to Stop Pulling on the Lead, Perfect for Puppy Walks, Easy to Use Double-Ended Dog Training Lead with 2 Handles - Safe BASKERVILLE ULTRA MUZZLE, Size 6, Patented Humane Design, Breathable, Dog can Pant and Drink, Adjustable, Padded, Dog Training Muzzle for Large Dogs, Prevents Biting, Wildlife Scavenging --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15316866-kyjen-outward-hound-the-quick-release-dog-backpack-assorted-medium](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15316866-kyjen-outward-hound-the-quick-release-dog-backpack-assorted-medium) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
