Description

The Summit Expedition Pack takes everything people love about our original Summit Pack and adds even more utility. Built from heavyweight waxed canvas, it’s a straightforward knapsack you can throw on and go, yet refined enough to keep up with years of hard use.

Two-in-one side pockets carry a water bottle, thermos, or extra gear, with bonus space tucked between the pocket and the pack body. Up front, a gusseted zippered pocket keeps small items organized and within reach. Lash squares stitched to the top lid offer tie-down points for bulky items you want to keep outside the bag.

Handcrafted in Duluth, Minnesota, this pack is as at home on a day hike as it is on a bike commute. Tough, timeless, and easy to use, it’s the pack that proves simple doesn’t mean limited.

      Raw Reliability

    Sometimes the best packs are the simplest ones. The Summit Expedition Pack carries the same no-fuss, toss-it-in spirit of the original Summit Pack but adds thoughtful upgrades for longer adventures. Built from durable waxed canvas with leather and brass details, it’s ready for trails, camp, or everyday use.

    Two side 2-in-1 pockets handle a water bottle, thermos, or trail tools, while offering extra space tucked behind them for quick stashing. A gusseted front pocket with a zipper keeps essentials like maps, snacks, or gloves ready to grab. Up top, rugged lash squares give you spots to strap down bulky gear—like a jacket or bedroll—when your load grows.

    From a quick walk in the woods to a full day exploring new ground, the Summit Expedition Pack is built to adapt without losing the classic charm that made the Summit a favorite. Proudly made in Duluth, Minnesota, and guaranteed to keep up for a lifetime of use.

    Summit Expedition pack in Heritage Black with the Sternum Strap

    After receiving the Summit Expedition pack right away I was impressed about the quality and thickness of the material. This pack is solid! Built like a tank! There are 30 rivets on this pack alone plus all the double and triple stitching . This pack is worth every penny in my opinion. It will out last your new boots, your new phone and your new car guaranteed! There is tons of space in the pack i use it as a everyday pack for work. I was able to fit everything in there from my old 40L pack and still have plenty of room for more stuff. I also recommend you get the Sternum Strap added on by Frost River. Another key take away nobody mentions is how comfortable the pack sits and rides on your back. You almost forget its on you and your carrying anything. The main point is go and buy this pack you will not regret it! Then thank me later!

    Love it it looks quality. I use it for work each day. It's a little heavier than previous cheaper pack, although that's expected for lasting quality.
