Comments
Basic barrel harnesses (even ours) are not that comfortable because the bulge of the barrel presses on your spine, and the shoulder straps are too short for many men. (or women with long backs and broad shoulders). Consequently most of our customers upgrade to the Voyageur Barrel Harness and enjoy portaging once again.
Please give us your hip measurements to ensure a properly sized hip belt.
This harness is for use on a 60L barrel similar in shape to the one shown, i.e. there is a bulge in the side of the barrel. We sell new barrels. Be aware that used barrels may have been used to transport chemicals, resins and other non-food items.
