There's a lot of backpacks/saddlebag options out there for dogs. Iuse this one for my 60lb black lab mix. I've taken her on a few overnights and one 3 day trip with it and it worked great. My only compliant is that this pack has no leash clips and I usually walk her with a harness so they kind of interfere. Also if you don't weigh out each side really equally it will start to shift to the heavier side. But that may be me not having it adjusted right...
I'm thinking of upgrading to Ruffwear which has the rear clip and looks a lot more durable for longer trips hope to take with my dog. People really seem to like the ruffwear gear. but I don't have any personal experience with it.
Amazon!
The manufacturer's website has a sizing chart. Rose is about 43 lbs, but I got a large because of her deep chest measurements. The harness fits well but the bags seem a bit large.
I don't think they'd hold up for serious backpacking but they should be fine for light daypacking I'm planning on.
Amazon? He wears a medium and he's a pretty average sized ACD. The bags are removable so you can take them off and leave the harness part on if you stop for a break. Both pockets have a zippered mesh compartment in them, too.

it's the cheapest but also the most popular pack on amazon... and it's really good actually! you have to keep the two packs balanced or it'll sag to one side. i've only gone on one hiking trip with it but toby tried to hit every rock on the mountain with the pack and it's still in good condition. so i think it'll do just fine.
Thanks! He is indeed. It's an Outward Hound brand dog backpack. I got it from Amazon. They run pretty big, though, so if you do get one like his I'd recommend choosing a size down than what they recommend. I got the large for Linus, who is ~80ish lbs, and he probably could've taken the medium.

It's so freeing when they carry their own stuff! Plus they feel like they're serving a purpose or working when they wear them... or so says the Dog Whisperer, anyway. What kind of dogs do you have?
The complaint I have about the one I bought (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0081XIEHE/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1420752800&sr=1&keywords=dog+backpack) is that it has to go over her head to get it on. And she's pretty terrified of it. We're working on it slowly with treats, though.
I don't have any experience with that company. I prefer the canvas/tarp type material. I have this for Tesla - I like that the bags are removable.
Ruffwear has a super nice multi-day hike type backpack for dogs (I wasn't sure if you were looking for a plain vest or a pack type vest since the examples are different).
Company has a lifetime warranty. Wonder what their CS is like?

Its worked so well that were getting one for our husky immediately.
Its basically straps with a lot of velcro, then the backpack part. It has lots of storage. We got Morgan the XL and it just barely fits her on the smallest measurements.
I really wanted a pallisades pack from ruffware but it was out of my price range. I went with outward hound and am very pleased. The pack detaches if you need to give your guy a break and the bags can hold a lot of bulky stuff. My only qualm is that doesn't seem as sturdy as ruffware packs. But after a year of use it's still holding up just fine and at $30 I won't mind replacing it when it does finally tear.
