Ruffwear, Hi & Light, Everyday Lightweight Dog Harness, Trail Running, Walking, Hiking, All-Day Wear, Sage Green, Large/X-Large

My dog really dislikes harnesses. Minute she sees a harness coming her way its head down, tail tucked, trying to turn away, the whole ordeal. Thankfully I have no reason or need to use a harness, but I’d love for her to at least be neutral towards them and not to hate them so much.Going by the size chart I got a medium, and I did have to do a couple double checks on the sizing and if it matched what I ordered when it arrived. It seemed super tiny! But once I had adjusted it to near its longest length it was all good, fit as it should with my dog being right at or just under the maximum girth for the size. VERY lightweight, which was just what we needed. She even took a 3 hour nap after I put it on the first time just to adjust it, had me in a tiny bit of joyful shock tbh.There’s the classic loop for a light attachment on top, which is right below a tiny velcro pouch flat against the top, then the buckle at the very back. I really like the buckle, it seems very sturdy. and the velcro pouch could hold something very small I guess, wouldn’t fit anything I need so I don't see myself using it. Maybe i’ll put a 20 in there to forget about and then be excited when I find it again.Where a front buckle would usually be it’s just a thinnish loop of rope, not like the buckle at all, so you're out of luck if you’re someone who relies on that to “stop your dog from pulling”(remember that it actually only physically does, it doesn't teach them to stop pulling! When my dog finally got loose leash walking it was such a breath of fresh air, took months though. Worth it.)I haven’t used it a lot or often, so I can’t speak on the durability just yet. I mostly just put it on so she can start to be more comfortable with having a harness on, and I don’t clip the leash to the harness but to her collar like usual(except for long lines, because its always getting tangled under her legs lol).Is this a harness i’d trust her to fling her full weight against without me worrying it’ll break? no, not really. the actual harness part is very small, and then the rest is just the adjustment belt. Since she was so close to the maximum girth size, it’s more of the adjustment belt rope than actual harness, which is part of why i’d be uneasy about excessive force against it on her part. Not saying it would instantly tear off of her like the Hulk’s clothes, but I can see the buckle giving up after a few full weight lunges.Overall, it’s ruffwear. You’re getting quality whatever harness type you choose from them. This harness, in my opinion, seems best for dogs on the smaller size, big dogs that would never throw their whole weight against it, or for dogs who dislike harnesses who need to start with a lightweight harness.Here are her stats in case it will help around: she’s around around 80lbs, 31”girth, 19” around the shoulders, 25” AT the shoulder, 25” back(base of neck to base of tail).

I bought this harness because the other one I owned was not user friendly for anyone but me and I was leaving my dog with a sitter. This is a super intuitive slip over the head and buckle the buckles type harness, so it needs no instruction. My parents have since said this harness is “so much better” than the old one, and my boyfriend no longer takes 3 minutes to get the dog out the door. It’s pretty durable. We have been using it for 3 months of constant use (but mostly just potty breaks since my dog is elderly) and it looks brand new. It’s easy to adjust, but make sure you know your dog’s measurements because the structure of this harness doesn’t make it endlessly adjustable. There is no padding, but it’s nice and soft on the part that touches the dog. And I don’t remember what I paid but it was definitely reasonable for the product and it has lasted us a long time. The only thing I will say is that I don’t trust the chest clip. The previous harness is the only one I’ve ever found with a metal chest clip for leashes and I have a 70 lb pittie that can pull me off my feet if I’m not paying attention. The chest clip on this is some kind of fabric, and I’m sure it’s strong, but it’s not 70 lb pittie on a mission strong. So we have to use the clip on the back for this harness. That’s fine because my dog no longer really goes on walks or has that much energy, but it would not have been as workable for us even a couple years ago.

Another great product from Ruffwear! very lightweight and easy to adjust harness making it perfect for hikes and outdoor activities. i feel that a lot of the less-than-satisfied reviews are from consumers unfamiliar with the brand and how this harness was focused on being minimal/lightweight therefore people calling it "flimsy" or "cheap". I also felt the sizing was accurate and didn't have any problems adjusting the harness to size. At first i did think maybe it was too small but after some tinkering i realized it came packaged with the excess strap material tucked into the harness making it look like it was completely maxed out at first. we haven't tested it in the lake yet but I'm sure it will be quick-drying. both front and back leash attachment points seems to be sturdy. I was skeptical of the front attachment point because the pictures make it look thin. I was pleased to discover that it's a pretty thick piece of nylon with reinforced stitching. the only thing i didn't care for was the strap color on the specific harness I purchased it's more of a "salmon pink" than a "coral red" but Scout rocks it anyways lolTLDR: great sturdy lightweight harness, sizing was accurate, color description on this product could have been a bit more clear on the accent/strap colors.

This harness is sturdy and fits well, ensuring that it does not rub against any parts of the dog’s body. It helps improve the dog's obedience during walks and is easy to clean. However, we did encounter one issue: the design has some holes, which allow beach sand to get inside. Once sand is trapped in the harness, it’s nearly impossible to remove. This extra weight can be bothersome for the dog and causes annoying sounds while walking. Therefore, I do not recommend using it at the beach or in dog parks where sand is present.

This is a great lightweight harness that is also sturdily made. The colors are great! And they fit well, no rubbing when the dogs move or play.

Secure and lightweight, this was the perfect harness for my sighthound puppy. And due to its adjustability, he was able to wear it for a long time!
