Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Well, I'm glad I didn't put a skijoring system yet.. I'm going to going to guess over $100 especially if the harness is included but I'd want the harness that accompanies it anyway. All their gear is pricey so I wouldn't expect it not to be, lol, just moved some $ into our dog fund! 2 more days!

Yep, since it's a 3 piece system and includes a belt + the harness, both things that're naturally expensive from an expensive company, I'm going with 120-160 or so.

Compare the Ruffwear price to Adanac Sleds for the skijoring belt with the skijoring line and the x-back harness. If Ruffwear is over $100, it may be cheaper to get it from Adanac Sleds. (belt for about $50 with line, custom x-back harness about $30).

That's true, I wonder how long the line for the RW one will be too. I can't help but want the RW model though, I am way too fanatic about their products Laughing Though I would probably prefer an xback over the harness included.. I still need to order Koda one, I lost the dang paper with measurements!

I have the one from Adanac and have been very happy with it. I think they have instructions on how to measure for a xback on their website. I know what you mean Heather about still wanting the ruffwear one though! It looks awesome! Think I might just get the ruffwear one too and see how they compare.

I have the one from Adanac and the one from Alpine Outfitters. I prefer the one from Alpine, and hubby likes the one from Adanac for running - we'll see if he still prefers that one for snowshoeing/skijoring.

Looks like it's that same lightweight ripstop nylon that the Approach packs are made of now. I would have to check it out up close and personal. I'm very picky with my webbing and hardware. With regular use, straps get slippy real quick. Most companies can't make things that hold up to my use. Ruff Wear used to be a consistent make, but lately the lighter materials they are touting don't match the older stuff I have of theirs.

I'm sure they'll sell plenty of them for a profit.
Shocked But for $150, I'm going to go with the hacked up lumbar pack thing I was originally going to do. Nice to have an industrial machine around with so many dogs.

i agree with that, the nylon on jacks pack that tore pissed me off, i would have to check this out at a store and try it on and see what the price on just the belt is. or i could just have you sew me some cool zipper pockets on my current modified belt Wink

I was going to buy the Osprey lumbar pack and sew a forward cinching webbing loop to the front that attaches to the bungee line I have already. Essentially the exact same thing, just a bit homeschool if you know what I mean.

Jarod just had one of his MP buddies put in a thing to get discounts with them.. haha, since they have working dogs and offer discounts for them. I just had the idea when looking at where they offer discounts. Hopefully it's a go! Going to wait on that and then order it. I think it would be nice to get for Rogue and Koda- I know his xback harness will take a while to get here and it'll be a little bit before Rogue can fit in a size small Ruffwear harness, but Koda will fit in right away and I can switch them once I order from Alpine.

I'm not seeing it either, but it dawned on me. They showed the system at the OR show in August. Duh. Look at their booth.
