The NEW Trail Runner Dog Running Vest is a lightweight, breathable harness that has two soft sided water bottles/Hydra® soft flasks included which fit into side zippered pockets - so your dog can stay hydrated on the trails!
The Trail Runner Running Vest by Ruffwear is a lightweight dog harness that is designed for running and long hikes. It is breathable, and has a balanced, fitted design, and so your dog can enjoy bounce-free runs!
To ensure your dog can rehydrate at rest spots, this dog vest has two zippered side pockets that hold two Hydrapak® soft flasks (these are included). There is also a small third zippered pocket on the back which is perfect to hold the Trail Runner Bowl and a couple of pick-up bags.
It has a reinforced webbing tow loop at the rear of the harness to attach your dog leash. Note: there isn't a D-ring attachment on this harness - only the tow loop as it is designed as a running harness.

Key Features of the Trail Runner Vest:
- Adjustable vest-style design for comfortable and bounce-free water carry while running
- Chest panel is made of lightweight air mesh for breathability.
- Two large zippered side pockets are made of nylon with a bit of spandex for stretch. They snugly hold the 2 x soft flasks and/or other running essentials.

- Two Silicone Hydrapak® soft flasks included:
- 2 x 500ml for size S - L/XL, 2 x 360ml for XS.
- They're made of pliable, lightweight material. Just twist the valve & squeeze the bottle to dispense water. They shrink as you drink, so means less sloshing and more space savings.
