Do nothing in haste, wrote Edward Whymper after his first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1868, look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end. We took Mr. Whymper’s words to heart as we designed this Knapsack: simple and well thought out — like the ones we see him wearing in old engravings from the Golden Age of Mountaineering.

Description

The generous top-flap buckles over the Knapsack's ample opening; cordlock and drawstring cinch out spindrift and alpine blasts. Comfortably wide cotton web shoulder straps plus a large grab loop complete the pared-down elegance of the Frost River Knapsack. A classic daypack, simple, functional, and effective.

Perfect

I got this bag to use as an edc bag, and it's perfect. I wanted something smaller than the bag I've been carrying for the last 4 years and this knapsack is the perfect size for what I needed. It fits a sweatshirt, my notebook and a couple pens and pencils, a larger knife that is impractical to carry on my belt everyday, my lunch for work,Swiss army knife, and still has plenty of room for things I may aquire throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend.

Great for everyday day use not great for camping

It’s a minimalist day pack so I love it and it poored down on me on a Thursday it helped keeping my first aid, survival kit, and shirt dry and the pouch helps a lot

Best..bag…EVER!

I had been searching for months for a small backpack for everyday use since it on the go constantly, and this was like striking GOLD.
Extremely durable, comfortable, and on top of it all it looks extremely well crafted. Didn’t think I could love a bag this much.
Lastly, the company itself excels in customer service, you ask them anything and they’ll try and get it done for you. Thank you to everyone at Frost River!!
