Historically, shoulder bags like these would be used to carry the tools and equipment needed to keep a black powder gun running. Now a shell bag could come in handy for anyone looking to expand their carrying capacity a bit by having a big pocket to carry essentials at their fingertips.

Great quality and design

I have been using Frost River products for years, but recently, needing new bag for work to carry my small Apple laptop, I ordered a Frost River bag that got lost in mail. Indianapolis USPS had historic problems. Frustrated I ordered a Duluth Pack bag. What a mistake. Seams started coming apart within weeks, so I ordered the largest Frost River shell bag. It arrived timely and is perfect. Usual great quality, and the simplicity of the bag works so well for carrying what I need but not having so many compartments that things 'get lost'.
It has the feel that it will last a long time.

Our granddaughter, now 20, was thrilled with her shell bag. The whole family examined the workmanship and agreed that it was faultless. The delivery was faultless as well.

Shell bag

I bought this bag to carry a little more than the satchel, which I love using. I needed something a little bigger for hiking and the Florida summer heat is to hot to put on a backpack. I mostly use the shell bag to carry my water, binoculars, small personal hygene kit and books and maps. The leather strap is a little long for me at 5' 4" but adjusts down. I may have to cut some of the extra off but the leather is so nice that I hate to do it. I have been switching things around and using it as a daily carry bag when not hiking. I use smaller pouches inside to organize. The only thing I wish it had, and this isn't a complaint, is a strap to hold my keys. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more bags from Frost River.

I bought the bag for my wife as a gift. She absolutely loves it. We are both fans of the frost River products and we will definitely shop more with them in the future
