Portage Specialist 35
[K0035]
$206.00

35L / 2059 cu.in. A day pack designed to portage with a canoe
Made in Thunder Bay Ontario

This large day pack is designed to be carried with a canoe – its low profile does not interfere with the yoke, and the ¾” thick shoulder straps provide extra padding. It has our “Interior Load Control Pocket” – an inside pocket that allows heavy items like a water bladder to be placed high and close to your body. This decreases stress on the shoulders and back. Our interchangeable shoulder straps come in many sizes to ensure you get a pack that fits you perfectly.

Features

  • Single Aluminum Stay Suspension System
  • Top-loading with a drawstring top
  • Attached lid with a flat zippered pocket on outside, and a mesh pocket underneath
  • Pockets on each side are large enough for a 1 litre bottle (buckle close)
  • Zippered pocket on front (water resistant zipper)

    Materials and Construction
  • 600 Denier Montana body (comparable to a lighter weight cordura)
  • #10 YKK zippers on lid (the best on the market)
  • #8 YKK water resistant zipper on front pocket
  • EVA foam(high quality dense foam does not compress over time) and ether foam (soft and cushy) in shoulder straps
  • National Moulding buckles (toughest on the market)
  • Each seam is sewn twice for maximum toughness
  • All seams and raw edges are bound so the fabric won’t fray over time

    Volume: 35L / 2059 cu.in.
    Weight:1.1 kg / 2 lbs 8 oz

    Suspension System – Single aluminum stay
  • A rigid plastic framesheet / back panel with 1 aluminum stay down the centre (a flat bar that is 1”wide and 1/8”thick, that runs the length of the back panel)
  • Stay can be removed and bent to the shape of your back for a custom fit
  • S-shaped shoulder straps with chest strap (5 sizes); they are ¾”¯ thick, two layers with a dense EVA top layer that prevents the pack from digging into your shoulders
  • 2” waist belt (padded hip belt is extra)
  • Fleece lined tump line (so you can carry like a voyageur)
  • Stabilizer straps on shoulder straps provide adjustment and pull the load closer to your back so the pack moves with you.

    Comments
    Bill Ostrom uses this pack on every trip. It allows him to keep raingear, snacks, water etc. handy in the canoe, and is a breeze to portage. Consider purchasing a Day Pack Padded Hip Belt for better load transfer and support.
    Please give us your back, chest, waist and hip measurements to ensure a properly sized pack.
