More comfort. More stability. More energy
Think about your last portage…how did it feel?
Did your pack throw you off balance?
Did it sag over your backside?
A poorly fitting portage pack or barrel harness (or a one-size-fits-all pack) can feel heavy on your neck and back and is very tiring to carry.
Our custom-fit canoe packs and barrel harness transfer the weight to your legs. So your heavy load actually feels lighter!
Simply use our fitting charts to choose from 4 sizes of shoulder straps and hip belt (S, M, L, XL). The Winisk and Wabakimi have 3 torso length adjustments (S, M, L). Then we’ll assemble the pack just for you.
More comfort. More stability. More energy


Tripper Reviews

35+ Years of Canoe Camping & Design
Bill Ostrom has been tripping since he was a kid. And wrecking his mom’s sewing machine designing gear since he was a teenager.
Since 1987 he’s designed products ranging from canoe packs and barrel harnesses, to the Canadian Armed Forces rucksack, to wheelchair bags.
In 2021 he took his portage pack designs to the next level. They are more comfortable, and we introduced adjustable torso sizes on the Winisk and Wabakimi. (Better for sharing!)
He also revolutionized our Voyageur barrel harness. The new Upper Adjustment lengthens the torso and the harness fits most people so much better now.
