  Padded comfort of an everyday harness with small pockets

  The Ruffwear Switchbak Harness has the padded comfort of an everyday harness with the bonus functionality of carrying small essentials. The two low-profile zippered pockets have room to stash those day-to-day necessities like pick-up bags, a leash, or some treats.

  It features two 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 – critical for stable gear carry and when giving 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.

  

Footprint sold separately.

  The last ray of sun disappears behind the reddish mountains, and I trade the pavement for the sand, a common exchange on a Jordan adventure.

The Technology March Accelerates: 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV First-Edition RST Review

Shaved Ice Is the Planet’s Go-To Treat This Summer
  The sound of shaving ice is unmistakable. The rasp, first pressed into the ice block, tense as a spring, suddenly surfs across the berg, scraping up a spume of glittering white snow as stray flecks flutter into the air.
