After a different brand wore out in less than a year, I decided to go with GG this time. Our first trip was nearly 3 weeks backpacking with my pooch carrying all her own weight. She is less than 2 YO and "explores" the forest/ponds often, other than mud this pack hasn't shown any wear at all (even when the bottom half was submerged while she drank, it kept water out). I never put more than 10 lbs on her 50 lb body, and the pack held it without concern. Sometimes it needed a little balancing but even if a little off it still holds position on her back well.
It doubled as my bear bag at night and made it through freezing temps and cold thunderstorms hanging in a tree.
At first I wished the sternum strap had a clip to it so I wouldn't have to slip it on her neck, but then again it's just one more thing to wear down (and my pooch is fine with wearing it so it isn't ever a problem getting it on her). The belly strap does obviously have a clip and is solid. A handle on top might be helpful, but I loved the plastic D-ring on the back for clipping her leash to!
I intend for my dog to give it heavy use in all seasons, and when it's time for a new one, I'll be going back for another.
