Just wondering if anyone here has a backpack from Frost River.

If so what do you think of it?

Cheers

Two small backpacks, a shoulder bag and a canoe bag.  All are excellent quality.

Thanks, YouTube opinions can only get you so far, good to hear from someone who is happy enough with them to have more than one :tu:

Not sure how their prices compare to elsewhere but Planet X have some Frost River stuff at seemingly good prices: http://www.planetx.co.uk/brand/q/Frost+River

Well I've decided on the Isle Royale Jr Bushcraft pack, which will be plenty big enough for what I need now. My Mystery Ranch pack is great but people do tend to give you funny looks when you are carrying it.

Spoke too soon, due to the monumental incompetence of FedEx, my pack has been delayed.

I find it strange that they have an online tracking service that doesn't give you an accurate history of what is happening. Now as  I am flagged by Revenue and Customs in the UK so every package I get get from out side the EU I have to pay a customs charge on, I accept that.

But why in the smurf would fedex completely fail to mention that on their tracking site, in fact it even said it had cleared customs (I know that means that will be a charge on it for me at least). But fedex made no attempt to contact me over the fee.

I feel a bit sorry for the young lady I spoke to on the phone because she didn't deserve a pissed off Smashie as one of her first calls of the day!

Anyhoo apparently I will now get it on Monday.

Well after much smurfing around with FedEx it arrived.



Bedroll straps



The pack itself



Other side



And with the top flap open



Very impressed with the quality, it's not a light pack by any stretch of the imagination weighing in at 6.5 lbs or 2.95 kg for the rest of the world.

Mate, that's fantastic looking. :drool:  If you ever decided to sell it at 75% off then I'm your man. :D

...and if it looks good now just think how good it'll look after it's been used for ten years. :dd:

Thats one lovely pack.  I love to see items like this age gracefully over time.

It's very comfortable, I have ordered a waist belt for it as they changed the design slightly while mine was on it's way to me.

Shame I can't carry an axe in it all the time
