Montana West Basic 3-side Mesh Pet Carrier Backpack

I seldom write a product review but this backpack is exactly what I was hoping it would be. The sides and floor unzip so it can me stored flat but when zipped together it is very sturdy. My dog is 8 lb and fits really well. The mesh material keeps him cooler when we are back packing. Its got several added metal loops to clip water bottles or collapsible bowls on. I am really pleasantly surprised by the quality of this backpack.

I'm a small build but it adjusts and fits very comfortably when using in backpack mode, the weight of my cats (about 7-10 lbs.) is a non-issue while transporting them, whether walking around to let them experience nature or bringing them to the vet, the insert on the bottom is solid and easy to clean as well (learned that when one of the kitties had an accident--you can remove the fabric and wash as normal.) The only "issue" I might have it just lifting them up into the backpack position because it's a bit of a wobble for me, but for the most part it is sturdy enough and they don't seem bothered by it. I don't put more than one cat in course, so I'll be ordering another one because they seem very comfortable with this purchase. They have enough space to lay but also sit up completely. They also really enjoy the amount of visibility with the mesh and just chill the whole time sightseeing. Bringing it to the vet is nice because it isn't awkward to carry and doesn't take up much space. They can also fit with a cone on their head! :P

This is the best cat carrier I’ve ever used! I always have a tough time getting my cats to cooperate when I need to take them somewhere. I bought 2 of these to try out. They were super easy to set up. When it came time to load up my cats, it was really simple. I didn’t have to shove them in, stuff them in, etc. Once they were secured, there was plenty of room and the design allowed for lots of airflow and visibility while keeping my cats safely inside. I wore the backpack forward and it worked great…sturdy, even weight distribution, secure for my cat. I even found one of my cats sleeping in it at home while it was just sitting on the dresser! The only thing I would change is the inside base…A waterproof cover would be awesome. Overall, this was a fantastic purchase!

It's very lightweight and surprisingly sturdy. There are zippers on both sides and the top, which is very convenient and make it easier to get my cat inside. It has 2 decently sized pockets on the side that I use to hold the leash and harness. It works better than I thought it would.

It's also comfortable for me to wear and comfortable for them to be in. The whole thing is a pretty sturdy mesh, so it's very breathable and won't overheat in there.

All around pretty good backpack and good value.
