  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.

Gorgeous Sound & Damn Near Everything-Proof: Turtlebox Ranger Review
  The Turtlebox Ranger makes no sense to me. As a lifelong musician, I always thought it was self-evident that high-quality audio means sensitive equipment. Improvements to durability must inevitably come at the cost of aural clarity — or so I believed.   My experience with the Ranger blows those assumptions out of the water. This speaker shakes off as quickly as...

Garmin Tactix 8: The Do-It-All Smartwatch for Hunters Who Need More Than Just GPS
