Want to make your traveling companion as comfortable as you are on those cold nights? A simple bed/pad greatly enhances their ability to stay warm.
I made one of these pads for our livestock dogs that spend most of the time outdoors. It has been in use 24/7 for the past 4 years and it's survived 2 full grown LGDs and 2 puppy litters with minimal damage (see the attached pictures in the gallery that show a couple of dime size tears).
Given that this was not used in a backpacking situation, weight wasn't a concern. However, I am also going to offer it in a couple of lighter fabrics more suitable for backpacking.
Features:
- 3 Fabric choices availalbe
- 70D Woodland Camo Nylon Ripstop with PU Coating
- 300D Polyester Diamond Weave Pack Material (available in black, burnt orange, charcoal grey, coyote brown, moroccan blue, purple)
- 750D Black Cordura
- Synthetic Apex 3.6 oz Climashield insulation for ideal performance
- Multiple sizes to accommodate dogs from small to large (The size chart is a general guideline. You can test the size at home first with a cardboard cut out to see how it will fit your dog.)
- Includes Tie Down loop at each corner
- Stuff Sack Included (.5 - .75 oz)
- Optional daisy chain webbing can be added to the stuff sack
