The hiking kit — harness, hands-free leash and 3-in-1 bottle
Three pieces, one box, and you're out the door.
Your dog needs three things to hike with you: something that holds properly, something that leaves your hands free, and water. We put all three together.
$109, and it's $109 at checkout. No tax, no shipping fees.
The harness
It is a Y-harness. The straps form a Y across the chest instead of a straight strap running over the shoulders. It is not a no-pull harness.
Four-point adjustable straps, quick-release buckles, breathable mesh lining. A back handle to hold him steady or help him over an obstacle, a D-ring for the leash, and MOLLE webbing if you want to clip bags to it.
Which size to get
Measure your dog with a soft tape: the chest girth just behind the front legs, and the neck girth at the base of the neck.
| Size | Chest girth | Neck girth | Back length | Dog weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 52 – 70 cm | 46 – 56 cm | 27 cm | 10 – 20 kg |
| M | 60 – 80 cm | 50 – 68 cm | 30 cm | 20 – 30 kg |
| L | 72 – 100 cm | 62 – 80 cm | 35 cm | 30 – 45 kg |
Between two sizes, take the larger one. Measurements are taken by hand — allow 1 to 2 cm.
This harness starts at 10 kg (22 lb). Under 10 kg — a bichon, a shih tzu, a chihuahua — it will be too big even in S. We'd rather tell you before you order than after.
The hands-free leash
A belt worn at the waist, with a bungee cord that absorbs the jolt when he pulls. A zippered pouch for your phone and keys, and a reflective strip for end-of-day walks.
1.30 m at rest, and the bungee gives at least another 20 cm when he pulls.
The 3-in-1 bottle
Three parts that come fully apart: the water reservoir, the bowl that folds down on the side, and the kibble cup that unscrews at the end.
You press the button and water flows into the bowl. To put it away, same button the other way.
280 ml — it's printed on the bottle. Enough to water a medium dog two or three times.
And you are not stuck with those 280 ml. The button comes off, so you can scoop water straight from a source — a park fountain, an outdoor tap. On a long outing that changes everything: you stop rationing, you top up on the way.
Two things we'll tell you straight: the safety catch before the button takes one extra move — that's what keeps it from emptying into your bag. And the water reservoir does not come apart: you can't brush it out inside. Empty it when you get back, and never store it with water in it.
The bowl and the kibble cup do come fully off, and they wash normally.
The law in Quebec
Since 3 March 2020, the provincial regulation reads: « La laisse doit être d'une longueur maximale de 1,85 m. Pour les chiens de 20 kg ou plus, la laisse doit être attachée à un harnais ou à un licou. » — the leash may be no longer than 1.85 m, and for dogs of 20 kg (44 lb) or more it must be attached to a harness or a head halter, not the collar.
