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.

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.

Great quality short straps

Bag was unbelievably built well. Although, I am 5'8 190lbs and the straps are all the way out and it barely fits on me. Only complaint is the short straps. I will definitely purchase a larger backpack when the time comes. Materials are the best of the best

Knapsack

I had good memories when I was young when my dad bought me a canteen and a knapsack.This is my fifth frost river pack and I was really impressed with this one.It is simple and it carries everything I need for a hike in the woods.It felt very comfortable it seems to ride a little higher than my other packs.I wish the straps were a bit longer for use with my heavy coat. Very happy with my purchase.

Perfect knapsack

I bought this knapsack for my partner to replace an old nylon knapsack she’d worn out. It’s the perfect size for her needs of a water bottle, picnic lunch, and extra clothing/ jacket. Top quality workmanship and materials insure that this knapsack will outlast the remainder of our hiking days.

Great around town knapsack

Small enough and big enough to carry what you need on a quick trip to the store.
Solid construction and features, I really like the drawcord.

Small but practical

When I first looked at this knapsack I thought 'no way-it's much too small'. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by its capacity. Materials and construction are first rate. My only criticism is this: the flap seems a bit too narrow. When the bag is packed full it doesn't quite cover the opening. Still, it is proving to be very practical.
