Mickey, my GSD/Beagle mix, is very muscular and I have a hard time finding equipment that fits him well. He is 20" tall (at the withers), 20.5" long (back of neck to base of tail), with a 26" girth, and he weighs 48#.
I've tried other backpacks and they are too long, the pockets come down too far, or he looks like a packmule with the smallest of items stored inside them.
Not so, the SingleTrak! It fits him perfectly :) In addition to the water bladders, there is room for a 1 or 2# barbell in each of the large pockets for extra workout potential. I haven't figured out what (if anything) I would put in the smaller pockets...
I wasn't sure about the color when I ordered it, but I love the orange/grey combination now. The reflective trim is great; it would be difficult for someone not to see a dog wearing this pack, even in lower light.
The only con is that the straps don't stay properly adjusted. After a week of stopping every few yards to tighten the straps so the pack didn't shift from side to side, I finally gave up and bought stick-on Velcro dots to attach to the straps in order to keep them adjusted correctly.
