This spring, we traded schedules for sea air and the quiet sound of paws on unfamiliar ground. With our tent packed, dogs in the back seat, and zero itinerary set, we traveled to Croatia - ready to chase whatever the days would bring.

We brought only what we trusted. And for our Border Collies Chilli and Zazu, that meant their Hurtta Weekend Warrior Harness II ECO in colour Eggplant, the one piece of gear we use for everything, everywhere. It’s not just a dog harness to us anymore. It’s part of our routine, part of our dogs’ rhythm. We reach for it whether we’re wandering a city, climbing in the hills, walking along the coast, or just setting up camp under the stars.

Croatia gave us a bit of everything — narrow cobbled streets that echoed with curious steps, quiet mornings by the sea with noses buried in sand, and winding paths through pine-covered hills where the world felt beautifully far away. Every place was different, but the feeling was the same: freedom, and the joy of sharing it with our dogs.

There were days full of sunshine and salt, and others where the wind howled through the trees and rain drizzled on the tent. But through it all, Chilli and Zazu were always ready to go — and so were their dog harnesses. They dried fast, held strong, and stayed comfortable, no matter how many times we clipped them on and headed out again.

What we love most is how it feels. It’s padded and shaped in all the right ways, and even after full days of exploring, there’s no rubbing, no resistance. And we’re especially grateful for the handle on top, it gives us extra control and peace of mind on tricky terrain or in busy places.

And then there’s visibility. On late evening walks through the campsite or foggy mornings near the shore, those reflective details really do their job.

For us, the Weekend Warrior Harness II ECO is more than versatile gear — it’s a small part of a bigger story. Of movement, connection, and being out there together. And this time, Croatia gave us a story we’ll remember for a long, long time.
