When designing products, SSOOOK carefully considers two options: the All-Cover type and the Mesh type. This is because every dog has a unique personality and lives in a different environment. Since a single design cannot be the right answer for everyone, SSOOOK offers a diverse range of products so that owners can choose the best standard based on their dog’s tendencies and situation.
This is the same reason why the SSOOOK Backpack, which has become the standard for long-distance travel, has expanded its lineup with the Mesh Backpack. Both products are built on a foundation of 'comfort.' From the sturdy structure and internal space to the front expansion system and laptop storage, the basic convenience enjoyed by both the dog and the owner remains the same.
So, what is the decisive difference between the two? It is the sense of openness.

: All-Cover Type for Sensitive Dogs
The original SSOOOK Backpack features a structure where the entire body is covered, except for the front and side windows. Designed with a dual-layer system of mesh and insulation windows, you can choose to close them completely depending on the situation. While it might look a bit enclosed at first glance, there is a clear intention behind this design.
The all-cover structure of the SSOOOK Backpack provides an extra layer of protection against external noise and wind, enhancing both heating and cooling efficiency. It blocks cold wind in the winter and keeps the cool air—generated by ice packs—trapped inside during hot summers.
Furthermore, the UV-protective fabric used throughout the bag not only blocks direct sunlight but also appropriately filters out external gazes. This creates a psychologically secure space for dogs sensitive to unfamiliar environments. For those living in areas with large temperature swings or for dogs who react sensitively to small sounds and sights, the SSOOOK Backpack is the most reliable and stable choice.

: Mesh Type for Curious Dogs
The SSOOOK Mesh Backpack was created by converting approximately 40% of the original all-cover structure into mesh material. The mesh windows applied on all four sides maximize the sense of openness and facilitate smooth air circulation. Thanks to this, it is well-ventilated and provides a fresher, more pleasant experience than the all-cover backpack in breezy weather or windy areas. This product is highly recommended for curious dogs who enjoy the surrounding scenery and for owners who want to check on their pets frequently.
Due to its structural characteristics, its insulation and UV protection capabilities are relatively lower than those of the all-cover backpack, but it offers coolness and visibility closer to natural ventilation. In addition, by applying mesh material, the weight has been reduced by about 40% compared to the original product. The significant reduction in the burden on the owner's shoulders during long-distance travel is the most attractive feature unique to the Mesh Backpack.
Same Area, Enhanced Structure
Beyond weight and openness, there is a noticeable structural difference: the shape of the bottom plate and pockets. While the original SSOOOK Backpack (All-Cover type) increases its floor area by unfolding hidden expansion pockets on both sides, the Mesh Backpack is built with the bottom plate already extending to those expansion areas. Therefore, looking only at the bottom, the Mesh Backpack may appear to have a wider area, but the actual internal space used by the dog is the same as the original backpack.
In addition, the Mesh Backpack features a front-bag style drawstring pocket instead of the expandable pockets used in the original backpack. Since mesh material is used for most of the upper section, we determined that incorporating expandable pockets at the bottom would make it difficult to maintain the overall shape of the bag. Therefore, to provide the freshness of mesh while ensuring the bag's structure remains stable, we chose the drawstring-style pocket over the expandable type.
Expanding Your Choices with SSOOOK
The SSOOOK Backpack and the Mesh Backpack are not in a relationship where one is more perfect or lacking than the other. Rather, it is about offering a broader range of options for dogs living in diverse environments.
Whichever of the two products you choose, the values that SSOOOK pursues remain unchanged. This is because the essence of providing a space for your dog’s safety, comfort, and complete rest during travel is equally embedded in every product under the SSOOOK name.
What kind of personality does your dog have? In what kind of environment do you usually walk? The role of the bag can change depending on whether you often walk in breezy parks or move through crowded, noisy urban areas. That’s why SSOOOK has prepared options you can choose from according to the environment and personality, instead of offering just one answer.
Whatever the environment or choice, the standard remains the same: a space where the dog can rest comfortably while traveling, and a structure that provides peace of mind for the owner. With the SSOOOK Backpack, traveling becomes another comfortable part of your daily life with your dog.
