Purchasing hiking packs for the boys any recomendations?

I *loved* Wings' Weneha jogger pack (I still haev it, but I don't use it-it's on my shelf  w/ her collar and things. IMO, it's the best daypack on the market. Durable and not bulky but has plenty of space. (sorry 4 ittalics - cuting and pasting the 'f' since mine is broken on this keyboard... :P

Thanks!  I can't seem to pull up information on this type of pack, do you have a website?

Try Wenaha - I spelled it wrong. :P

Wings' pack is a custom XS- she was 48 pounds and 21". The XS DOES fit Mal with the straps let way out and I'd actually buy it for a dog with a deep but narrow chest that was up to his size (Mal is 25.75", 65 pounds) but narrow. (I'm ordering him a S at some point because he's starting to put on muscle and the small will sit better once he's got more muscle to him.

Wings' pack got DAILY use for most of a year, survived having paches sewn on and pulled off multiple times :P, and is still in great shape. I like the water bottle holders- they are shown in the pictures with sports bottles but will fit a plastic 16oz bottle perfectly- and it sits well on the dog full or empty.

ETA: The custom part of Wings pack wasn't sizing or anything- it was a custom order by it's first owner (I got it as a handmedown) who wanted a purple pack and had them make her one. :)

I personally like the RuffWear packs. The Palisades II comes with a webmaster harness, which is the kind of pack I have for Maddi. It's nice because I can detach the saddle bags. They also have water bladders that you fill up inside the harness so there's not hard knocks from water bottles.
