Dare to Traverse
It all started with a need—our need, and yours. Nine months ago, we set out to design a harness for our own dogs. Something rugged, functional, and capable of handling the toughest hikes the Pacific Northwest could throw our way. We were tired of gear that tore on branches, soaked through in the rain, or was uncomfortable for our dogs after a long trek. At the same time, we wanted a harness with the functionality of tactical gear but without the bulky, overbuilt look.
So, we took a leap. After designing the first version, we turned to you—our community—and asked, “What does your perfect harness look like?” Your feedback was incredible, and it pushed us further.
Through three iterations, we fine-tuned the Outlander Adjustable Dog Harness. What began as a solution for our own adventures became a product for every dog and every journey, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve created.
Why “Outlander”?
At Bolder K9, we’re always venturing off the beaten path, forging new trails where others don’t dare to go. "Outlander" represents the spirit of exploration—stepping beyond what’s conventional and into something extraordinary. Whether you’re exploring dense wilderness, training a working dog, or taking your pup on a stroll through the city, the Outlander is the harness that dares to traverse right alongside you.
Built for Adventure, Designed for Comfort
Heavy-Duty Materials
Crafted from 500D Cordura, the Outlander is a true hiking dog harness. Cordura is water-repellent, tear-resistant, and abrasion-proof—ideal for rugged trails, harsh weather, and high-energy dogs. This is a harness that won’t quit, no matter how far you roam.
Super Strong, Lightweight Hardware
The Outlander features lightweight aluminum quick-release buckles and sturdy aluminum D-rings. Designed for strength and durability, these components ensure secure, reliable leash connections without adding unnecessary weight.
Anatomically Accurate Fit
A harness should move with your dog, not against them. That’s why the Outlander is fully adjustable in three key areas—around the body, the chest, and at the waist. This allows you to create a truly custom fit that’s snug, escape-proof, and biologically appropriate for your dog.
What does “anatomically accurate” mean? It means the Outlander is designed to clear sensitive areas like the underarms and allow full, unrestricted shoulder movement. Harnesses that sit too close to the front legs can cause chafing, restrict range of motion, and lead to long-term joint discomfort. By providing proper clearance behind the shoulders and underarms, the Outlander keeps your dog comfortable, confident, and ready for hours of activity.
