You know how we’re always telling you to load your heaviest gear high and close to your back in your canoe pack? (Better stability, less shoulder strain.) Check out this “Load Control Pocket”. Use three buckles to attach it to the top of the pack at the BOTTOM of the snowcuff. And boom! Your pack is no longer a bottomless pit! And the heavy gear you need handy is in the right spot. NOTE: This pocket works with any pack 17”or wider with a snowcuff/rain collar at the top.  (i.e. all our canoe packs.)

35 Years of Helping Paddlers Discover the Joys of Portaging

We’ve been canoe tripping with our families since we were kids. And got so fed up with uncomfortable canoe packs and nasty barrel harnesses that Bill just had to design a solution.

He first looked to backpack designs for inspiration. The result was:

  • the first-ever internal frame portage pack. (So impressive with heavy loads.)
  • the first barrel harness with a contoured foam back pad and Upper Adjustment. (Game changer!)
  • and the first to offer custom-fit … because carrying 50+ lbs in a one-size-fits-all pack is unnecessarily painful.

“It was a blast being the lead designer for the Canadian Armed Forces Rucksack and Small Pack
System. We used scientific research and field testing to fully understand how pack design impacts load carriage, load control and weight transfer. It dramatically changed my approach to design. Custom-sizing does matter.” Bill Ostrom
