Frost River Field Guide Vol. III - Travel Gear

FIELD GUIDE VOL III

TRAVEL GEAR

W

e started out at Frost River by making reliable canoe packs, built the traditional way, with premium raw materials that were made to last, and to be relied on, deep in the backcountry. That philosophy of traditional attention to detail in materials and construction carries over to more civilized, domesticated travel, too. If your bag was built to a standard to hold up to wilderness travel in canoes and over portages, packing up and pitching camps year after year, it will readily endure overhead bins, airline terminals and far-flung destinations like a champ.

Automobile, plane, train, and canoe travel aren’t all that different.

No matter the mode of travel, your luggage needs to be reliable and functional. This installment of the Frost River Field Guide features our waxed canvas luggage favorites. From Flight Bag Collections to RollUp Travel Gear, you’ll find it all here!

RUGGED SIMPLICITY T

he toughest task for luggage is to survive airport baggage handling. Our ‘normal’ is to be set outside during a torrential downpour, and left to dry in the sun. In fact our luggage looks forward to the airport. And why not? It is a vacation, right? Made from the traditional design of our canoe packs, these luggage peices are built to last, from double reinforced leather straps to a durable two-layer canvas base.

This is an excellent quality bag. Obviously it is not the cheapest bag around but it makes up for it in quality.

The only down side is as an introvert I get a lot of compliments on the bag when I would rather just be left alone.

IMOUT DUFFEL A

ll of the get up & go of the Frost River Flight Bag, in a classic round duffel.

Waxed canvas utility with just the right amount of class.

Comes in three sizes to match your gear and getaways.

Remember those crummy nylon gym duffel bags that were always around when you were a kid? Sure they were handy to lug stuff around, but did you ever feel good about carrying one? We considered that round shape, looked at the size, then added some of the rugged simplicity of our Flight Bag with its straightforward “get up and go” approach and single compartment charm … and came up with our own classic round duffel... the ImOut Duffel Bag. Simple, true, classic, and made in America!
