Harness For Hiking

[HayleyMarie]

What would you guys suggest for a hiking harnes.

I want somthing comfortable and strong since she will be wearing it for long periods of time while hiking.

Somthing that won't choke her if say she slips and falls and we have to keep ahold of her by the leash or have to grab the harness to lift her ontop of big boulders and piles of trees.

Or this if you'll be doing any rock climbing where she'll be suspended for long amounts of time:

I think these look comfortable. I have this type, although not this brand. And my dogs can wear them for a long time. They don't dig in at all.

I use Premier's SurFit harness for hiking and nosework. That Alpine Outfitter's one looks like what I saw some dogs wearing at a nosework trial.

I really love Steve's Walkeez harness, which is what he wears for hiking. I do wish it were more adjustable in the front, though. He doesn't have enough chest to fill it

(Excuse the goofy picture, it's the best I could find of him in his harness)

I used a ruff wear web master harness when Denali had her amputation. I have it for Loki and Nessie, I loved the thing!
