Kurgo Stash n' Dash Harness - Lightweight & Portable Travel Dog Gear - Ripstop Fabric - Reflective Trim - Foldable Dog Running Harness - V-Neck Design - Black - Large

​Overview: I wanted a specialized harness for camping and hiking, and this one is a great find. It’s lightweight, high-quality, and the "packable" design, folding into its own pocket is incredibly convenient for travel. ​Versatility & Safety: ​Car Travel Approved: We use this for long car rides and attach it directly to a dog seatbelt. It’s comfortable enough for her to wear for hours while remaining safe and secure. ​Hiking Functional: The "little backpack" look is adorable, but it’s also functional. It easily fits poop bags and wet wipes for our adventures. ​Fit & Sizing Note: My dog is 40lbs with a narrow chest. While the medium is generally a good fit, the front part remains a bit loose even when tightened all the way. If your dog has a wider chest, this will fit perfectly. For narrower dogs, be prepared for a slightly looser fit in the front. When we clip the leash on the d-ring on the back, the harness moves left/right a little bit which makes it annoying but no big deal. ​Final Verdict: Despite the minor fit issue on her chest, she moves comfortably and looks like she’s "on a mission." It’s a sturdy, worth the money and fun for active pups!

This item was purchased to replace a Kurgo harness Finn outgrew. Only down side is it does not fit properly. It falls off to the side slightly when walking or running. He cannot escape it, but other harnesses have fit better. I wish I had looked at the size charts before purchasing instead of blindly getting one size up from the other Kurgo brand harness. I can grab the pouch and control Finn without worry. It just seems like it could rub him if we left it on all day. It has excellent storage. We store our dogs 6ft leash and poop bags within the pouch. There is still more room that can accommodate his bag of treats. When it’s not in use it easy turns into the bag pictured and tucks nicely under our vehicles seat. It is easy to keep clean and has held up well, even after taking a swim! I recommend this product. Just be prepared with your dogs sizing when purchasing!

I have a 57 lb Golden Retriever/Cocker Spaniel mix. He looks exactly like a Golden with normal proportions, just slightly smaller than average. That said, I cannot get this harness to fit him right in either a medium or a large. He should be a large according to the size chart, so that's what I bought first. The chest straps fit fine, but the neck was ridiculously loose even when I tightened the straps as much as possible, so I ordered a medium to try. With the medium, the chest straps are just a bit too tight, and oddly, the neck is still slightly loose. I started wondering if maybe it was loose on purpose to create more room for items in the backpack, so I stuffed it full, yet the looseness persists. We've used at least 6 or 7 harnesses in the past and have never had fit issues, so I don't know what's going on. I keep thinking I'm missing an adjustment point on the neck, but I can't find more than the two on either side. These fit issues are especially disappointing because this is otherwise the perfect harness for us. We like to run, but we live in Southern California where it is way too hot all the time, so I wanted some way to carry water. I got a Ruffwear Switchbak, but you have to fill both sides of the pack with equal weight, which was a hassle and seemed too heavy for running in the hotter months. This harness is more appropriate for exercise, and even though the pouch doesn't hold much, it fits either of my flexible water bottles (a Vapur Shades 0.5 L and a Vapur Kids 0.4 L, though I'd recommend the kids one since the cap takes up way less room) as long as they're only about half filled. We don't do huge runs, so having just a bit is enough for my peace of mind. When I'm not bringing water, I can fit my phone, my keys, some extra poop bags, and my albuterol inhaler. It probably wouldn't fit a ball large enough for my dog, but maybe for a smaller dog--although I will say that the pouch on the medium seems a bit smaller than the one on the large, so that may not pan out. Either way, it's really nice to have your dog carry the small essentials, especially when you don't have pockets! It's also very well made and seems comfortable and breathable. I like it enough that I'm leaning towards keeping the large and paying someone to shorten the neck straps, but I'm not happy about it because that will probably double the cost of the harness for me. However, I haven't found another trustworthy brand that sells a single-pouch backpack harness, so I might just have to suck it up.

Light weight yet sturdy

The harness goes on well and seems comfortable for the dog. Love the small bag on the back. Wish it was a tad bigger. I’m a bit worried one of the clips will break over time as they seem designed more for weight saving or aesthetic then durability. Time will tell.

My dog carries his own snacks now and poop bags! Helps me out and he loves wearing it! I always tell him how handsome he looks in his new backpack and now he gets so excited to put it on when we go byebyes!

When you bring your dog for vist the leash can stay on an slip into the pocket . Handy !

We purchased this vest for our dog so she will hold our cell phones and poop bags on our walks. I would use this to run (long distance trail runner), but I don't think it is comfortable enough for her. The front near the neck does not adjust, so it slips and slides. That is the only negative about this product. The pocket is a great size and large enough for two phones and snacks, bags, etc. Overall, I would recommend.
