“There is nothing like the big open water of North Bay with a little steam rising off it on a clear, calm morning to begin a long Quetico adventure.” -Adam Macht, a canoe country guide at Piragis Northwoods Company in Ely, MN. Our North Bay Daypack is just as at home in of one of Piragis' canoes as it is shuttling to and from campus or work.

Description

We build them in two sizes from trusty waxed canvas at our shop in Duluth. One has a 5in gusset and is a classic daypack size, the 7in is deeper, perfect for boxy or bulky items. All have a sleeve at the back for storing flat stuff, you get the choice to have it padded or not. The zippers go all the way down allowing the pack to open wide. Interior pockets provide organization. Available in Heritage Black as well as Field Tan, the North Bay Daypack lets you choose which environment to blend in with, and which you'd like to carry with you.

Solid pack

This is a perfect size backpack for school and everyday applications. The padded laptop sleeve is excellent and the layout has tons of room for daily essentials. The craftsmanship is extremely high quality. This pack will last for years and years to come. Definitely heirloom quality!

Great bag

Fantastic bag. Obviously very pricy but boy does it show. If you’re getting something like go all out with the 24L with the inside pockets. Love the heavy duty material and zipper. I would prefer brown leather (like the flat leather connecting piece of the upper straps) on the lower adjustable part of the strap instead of black but that’s a fine point. Proud to show off this bag.

Highly recommended getting the big one

Love this pack - quality is spot on, good pockets inside and out, and a space to separate your shoes from your clothes. Got this to be an overnight travel pack and it’s perfect. Any smaller (the 17L) might be too small, so glad I got the 24L.
