Description

The Switchbak Harness has the padded comfort of an everyday harness with the bonus functionality of carrying small essentials. The 2 low-profile zippered pockets have room to carry those day-to-day necessities like pick-up bags, a leash, or some treats. It features 2 leash attachment options: a V-ring centered on the back and a reinforced webbing loop at the chest, great for redirecting dogs that pull on leash. Dial in the right fit with high adjustability and a padded belly strap – both critical for stable gear carry or a little boost with the low-profile handle. All in all, the Switchbak melds comfort and convenience into a performance harness ready for both town and trail. Read more Read more Read more

    • Not For My Dog
Size: Large/X-Large Color: Blue Moon
I have purchased a couple different RUFFWEAR dog harnesses, and unfortunately, the sizing just doesn't work for my dog. The Medium is too tight, and the Large is too large. No matter how much I adjust this harness (L), it was loose on my dog. No matter how loose I made the medium side harnessed, it was too tight on my dog. Here is a HUGE DISCLAIMER: I have another dog that can fit comfortably in both the medium AND the large. The good boy who doesn't fit has a very deep chest. This is the problem. There Harnesses are not a good fit for my slim, deep chested, handsome boy. His sister, an Australian Shepherd mix, fills in the gaps with her luxurious thick coat, and she looks darn fine doing it. ... show more

    • Ruffwear has the most inconsistent sizing and worst quality control
Size: Large/X-Large Color: Blue Moon
I change my dog's Ruffwear harness monthly to cycle through colors and he gets his harnesses very dirty--I'd rather buy a new one than clean the old ones and I probably account for 5% of Ruffwear's sales doing this. However, they have the worst sizing inconsistencies I've ever seen. No two harnesses are the same; some are tight around the abdomen, some tight around the chest, some tight in the back. Nothing is ever the same between two of them. This one in particular was extremely loose fitting, especially compared to the same size, yet still inconsistent, Webmaster with Dog Handle Harness we were previously using. I've contacted them multiple times and their useless customer service always just asks for photos of the harness on my dog and then never responds back to me. Sad. ... show more

Love it! This harness not only looks beautiful, is made of quality material. But most importantly, since we got it, the walks with our dog are nice and relaxing again, we are super happy 😊

    • Sturdy harness
Size: X-Small Color: Red Sumac
My dog (who can be an escape artist) is unable to escape Ruffwear harnesses. He has the flagline, webmaster, and now the switchbak. All three are great. Opted for this current switchbak one for the full chest piece and less movement from side to side compared to the webmaster. With the two pockets on this harness, it makes our dog look like he has a cape on. ... show more

    • Great Product - Difficult to adjust
Size: Medium Color: Red Sumac
I have a 50lb Husky/Heeler mix and purchased a medium. After sizing the vest to my dog, none of the steps were maxed-out. The staps allow for a bit of space to tighten and a lot of room to loosen - I believe a small would have also fit my dog. The product is very durable and is excellent in different weather conditions. My dog and I have run in heavy snow, and it kept her dry. The pockets are great for pooper bags, treats, and other small items. I use it mainly to run with my dog, and it sometimes shifts depending on the side she is running on. The straps are difficult to adjust. However, once the straps are in place, they don't move. Overall, the vest doesn't rub and is excellent for people looking to run with their dogs. ... show more

    • Great three point harness, good quality
Size: Small Color: Granite Gray
We needed a harness for our whippet. He had to get staples in his neck due to a dog bite so we needed something that would sit lower on his shoulders and this harness did the trick. I also like that it's three point because our whippet can sometimes wiggle out of regular harnesses due to his body shape. Has pockets so he can carry his poop bags with him. I haven't tried it for hiking but it seems pretty good we tried the handle on the back and it works well. We call this harness his ninja turtle shell. ... show more
