The front of this harness is padded from the neck to the chest under the dog. The cut is angled to better fit the shape of the rib cage. This model is known for staying in place on the chest and not slipping to the side.


Compared to the traditional dog sled harness (commonly called X-Back), the design of this model is distinguished by 3 elements:

  • The diagonal orientation of the harness (rather than horizontal). Since in canicross the attachment point on the human is located higher than the dog's back, this allows for better transmission of the pulling force.
  • Reflective strips are applied to the harness to give the dog maximum visibility.
  • Made entirely of sturdy nylon. This type of padding is lightweight, non-abrasive, does not freeze and is waterproof, making the harness more comfortable for the dog and easier to maintain.

Presence of a wide, padded piece at chest level and under the thorax, for better support during exercise and more protection.

It is available in sizes XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, and in regular or elongated sizes. It is also available with a thinner plastron for dogs with a narrower thorax.
