Hiking with Your Dog
Escape the daily grind and dive into adventure—together with your best friend
For many people, a dog is a full-fledged member of the family.
But this is exactly where the problem sometimes begins when hiking:
Carrying dog food, water, a food bowl, a sleeping spot, and perhaps an older or smaller dog that can’t walk the entire route. What’s meant to be a relaxing hike quickly turns into a logistical challenge.
Dog trailers designed for bicycles are only partially suitable for off-road use and fail on narrow trails, roots, or alpine paths. Carrying your own dog? Not an option in the long run. And extra gear often gets left behind. But what could be better than experiencing nature together with your dog, discovering new paths, and feeling true freedom?
The Monowalker Fatmate – the off-road companion for you and your dog
The Monowalker Fatmate is the only single-track, off-road transport system that addresses exactly this:
It carries your gear. It takes on most of the load. And it offers space for your dog when they can’t go any further. It is pulled by the Monowalker SL-X Carbon Packframe. Whether young, old, small, or exhausted—your dog remains part of the adventure.
The real problem: the load and the person. When hiking, the person carries all the gear on their shoulders and hips.
With every additional kilogram, the strain increases:
- faster onset of fatigue
- limited mobility
- higher energy expenditure
- increased risk of injury
And now add to that:
- several days’ worth of dog food
- water for both humans and animals
- additional breaks due to an exhausted dog
The limiting factor isn’t the equipment—it’s the person.
