BackTrak™ Dog Evacuation Kit

evac navk pack

i got it in case we have to. we have so wild fires right now in Colorado better than safe then sorry & we cab share it if some needed it. it's compact & easy to use plus it's versatile front or back use. price was very good. we always use Ruff Wear & have for many years even handing them down from one dog to another. i would tell everyone to get this back back just in case if hike with your dog or emergency evac situation. Ruff Wear products are awesome!!

Great peace of mind, hope to never use it

Kit looks very well made, strong stitching on all points with high quality webbing. Shoulder straps seem comfortable enough for the kit’s intended purpose. Packs down very small and is quite light.

Functional but a little complicated -- and maybe not 100% secure

I agree with other users that this requires more than one practice session before you use it. The color-coded buckles help, but it would be nice if one of the tail-end buckles was not orange (as are the middle buckles around the torso). And no, this is never ever going to fit back into the built-in pouch it was packed in. Ruffwear, you might as well eliminate that pouch, or make it bigger or stretchier. Finally, quick release buckles are fine for backpacks such, but there should be a backup for the QR buckles on this harness--at least the ones securing your dog. An inadvertent brush against a rock or ladder could pop one of the buckles open and then your dog is left hanging unevenly, or worst case, falls out. Minus 1 star for the buckles. Minus 1/2 for color coding. Minus 1/2 for the pouch design. This needs a little fine-tuning before it is a top-notch product.
