“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.

School Backpack

Bought this for my son who is starting middle school this year. He absolutely loves it and the heavy duty zipper is a plus. Standard backpacks seem to always wear out in a year or two and/or the zippers fail fairly quick. This should last him a lifetime!

Durable Backpack!

Just got a replacement pack for the one purchased for my husband 5 years ago. It was still going but looking a bit beat up after daily use hauling tools and other heavy items all over the city - my husband is very hard on his packs - and he loves this one.

Great bag.

I do love the bag and am wearing it as my daily bag.
I got the 24l in black canvas. It is a bit large for a runaround everyday bag. I now wish that I got the 17l in the tan canvas color. I couldn’t have known this before buying as this has been my first ever canvas bag and they are a bit pricey. I would like to get the 17l bag as well if there is some way I could get a discount on it as it would be my second back from you guys! If that’s not possible I also understand.

Daypack

Amazing durability, quality, and value. Had for two weeks, used everyday for work. Feels like it will last a lifetime!

Great pack as always!

We bought it to use as a diaper bag and then when he’s older will make a great pack for him. Our other children and my wife and I all use and carry FR packs. Thank you for great USA made products and also for still having a paper catalog which is nice as we live off grid in Alaska and it’s nice to read with no electricity! I attached a picture of my Nessmuk Pack which is my favorite day pack.
