What is the Home Trail Hip Pack?
It's a functional everyday hip pack to carry your dog's essentials (and your own!) to keep your hands free for throwing sticks and dishing out treats. With an abundance of useful pockets and a dedicated mess pocket so storing smelly treats and slimy tennis balls, make the most of the daily dog walk with your furry best friend.
What is it made from?
The Home Trail Hip Pack is constructed from a robust combination of materials, allowing it to withstand the rigour of everyday use while walking and training your pooch. As we dog lovers all know, life with a dog, abrasion, and dirt come hand in hand, and therefore, you need reliably tough gear to keep up with your adventures.
The main body of the hip pack is constructed from super-tough 300-denier polyester ripstop fabric, made from 63% recycled materials with a super tough 600 denier polyester base. The fabric is reassuringly sturdy to the touch whilst also being comfortable enough for everyday wear. It’s finished with a water repellent coating to ensure light rain and muddy splashes bead off the material rather than soaking in. However, please note, this does not make the hip belt waterproof.
Ruffwear has lined the pack with durable 200-denier polyester treated with a water-resistant coating to help keep the contents dry and allow the material to be easily wipeable, for fuss-free maintenance. The handy mess pocket is created from an equally hardy 210 denier nylon, coated with a food-grade water repellent finish with a 4,000 HH rating, making it ideal for containing slimy toys and smelly treats.
All fabrics used in the hipbelt are bluesign® approved, meaning they're manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. Bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
What are its features?
The hip pack features a low-profile design that allows it to be comfortably worn around the waist or over the shoulder. An adjustable belt allows you to tailor the fit over various clothing layers, keeping your dog's essentials close to hand. A quick-release side buckle allows for easy on-and-off throughout the day.
With ample pockets for all your dog's favourite snacks and adventure essentials, the hip pack features a main zippered compartment with plenty of room for a lead, packable bowl, and other small necessities. An internal collapsible mess pocket is ideal for keeping smelly high-value treats for perfecting their recall or stashing slobbery tennis balls once play time is over. The mess pocket is fully wipeable and water-resistant, allowing you to keep the pouch clean and hygenic.
A front zippered pocket with a key clip offers space for stashing smaller items, whilst a quick-grab phone pocket of the back panel offers the perfect haven for your mobile phone, easy to whip it out and take photos of your dogs when they're being cute.
There is also an external stretch mess pocket ideal for keeping a roll of pick-up bags close to hand, and two gear loops for attaching a clicker or other small items.
