Worked great!
Works great when rappelling or when the approach is 3rd or 4th class and you want extra security for your pup.Only thing I would change: I wish the pouch on the back to hold the rear straps was bigger. Half the time I just tie off the straps because it’s tight fitting them in the pouch.

Reviewed in France on October 22, 2019
Bon produit mais attention à la taille !
Ma BA fait 30 pouces j ai mesuré et suivi la recommandation fabricant donc taille M (jusqu'à 32 pouces) et ça n allait pas du tout.
La taille L/XL est OK. Voir photo, la différence de taille est conséquente.
