Thank you, OregonMouse. That article is very thorough and helpful!

I seriously considered the Palisades, due to the convenience of being able to remove the bags from the harness, but I really can't justify the additional expense at this time.

Honestly, if the first pack I try doesn't work, I'll probably DIY one. But first I want to see how a store-bought one sits, where the weight carries, what can be kept and what should be altered to best work for her.
