The harness also has a 3M reflective lining on the back piece's edges and some on the chest part. The harness also has an Aluminum D-ring and a handle on the back, and they used Hypalon reinforcements in high-stress areas. The loop under the ribcage is an attachment point for tracking lines: The ornage loop on the front is for no-pull correction: The Rock harness has three leash attachment points: one on the back, one no-pull-loop on the chest, and a loop below the ribcage for attaching a tracking line. This is soft enough not to rub the dog, but it doesn't soak in water, is easy to clean, and is super breathable. They used a breathable HexiVent material instead of thick mesh padding. The most exciting feature of this harness is the material itself that we already loved when using the Ultra harness. It is a Y-shaped harness with two buckles on the chest strap and four adjustment points for an ideal fit. Still, we will go through everything here for anyone who starts here.Īs mentioned above, the Rock harness is geared towards hiking and everyday walks, not pulling sports like most of the harnesses from Non-stop Dogwear. The general information on this harness will be very similar to our review on the Ultra harness. Although many loved the unique orange hardware, it was prone to get scratched up over time, while the new one is much less sensitive. A trend that we see with their new products across the board is that they move away from the awesome-looking orange hardware and replace them with Aluminum D-rings. The back piece is also a little longer to keep the chest straps out of the armpits.Īlthough the top layer is a little darker on the Rock harness, the materials used for both harnesses are eventually the same. The differences are very easy to see: the chest piece got longer and narrower, and it comes higher up on both sides of the neck. You see the Ultra harness on the left and the Rock harness on the right in the photo below. Non-Stop came out with an updated design that has slight design changes to better fit medium-sized dogs. The chest section was too broad and short, potentially rubbing the inside of the front legs and the armpits. We really enjoyed using the Ultra harness, but its fit wasn't ideal on Mia.

We will start with comparing the Ultra harness to the newer Rock harness for our followers who already read our Ultra harness review. Their focus is on pulling harnesses, and other types of equipment for skijoring, canicross, etc., but they also have a few harnesses more suited for everyday dog walks - like the Rock harness that we are just reviewing ) We love their passion for designing the best-fitting dog harnesses to “release their potential,” as their slogan says. Non-stop Dogwear was founded in Norway only ten years ago, and today you can find their products in over 1,000 stores in 22 countries.
