Vintage Pack

I needed a waterproof way of carrying a 2.5’ square drawing board & large pads of paper into work everyday, along with most of my art supplies & regular daily necessities. This pack fits all those things with room to spare. I use it as a daypack for hiking too.
I live in NW Missouri & there is a lot of hunting here. I always attach a Wendigo signal bag to the top/back & I wish there were lash squares on top for this or a bed roll. Lash squares on the bottom would be sweet too. I
I recommend the buckskin leather straps, I don’t understand how they make it so soft but tough.

I searched high and low for a good quality day pack. I found one with Frost River in the USA. Sadly, we dont seem to make this type of quality item in Australia anymore and i refuse to by asian knockoff products. Item took 8 days to deliver to my door in Australia, heck it would take me 30 hours alone to get to Minnesota. I will recommend Frost Rover every time someone comments on the on it....and i am certain that will happen. Regards JB

I needed something big enough for my 2 1/2’ square drawing board and large pads of paper, a small pelican case (8”x8”x 5” ?), tool roll (frost river also) & assorted other pouches & necessities that I carry everyday to work. I do tattoos so I carry a lot of crap around cuz I never know what i’ll Be doing until I get to doing it.
This pack is perfect for me. I have taken it on plenty of day hikes too. I will surely be taking it on an overnight or two sometime soon, it is most assuredly large enough for my kit.
It also carries small loads, not necessarily comfortably but it will squish down without a bunch of flopping or with stuff falling out.
Like the fellow that wrote a review before me, I wish for lash tabs, too &/or bottom. I have found a way to lash my Wendigo Signal Bag to the top lid hanging down from the buckles. Lash tabs would make this much better/safer because the WSB would not flop over & obscure the blaze orange.
The buckskin straps are so very nice also.

Just got back from the first weekend of hunting wild boar using the Vintage pack. It has already proven to be a great day pack and has plenty of room for the gear I need for an enjoyable day in the back country.

The pack is very well made with fine workmanship and quality. If you are thinking about upgrading to the buckskin straps... DO IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT! I was surprised at how comfortable the pack was during long, off trail hikes in rugged terrain. If I could add one thing it would be lashing squares on the bottom for a bedroom. You know, there may be time for a snooze on some day hikes... lol.

Great product! Thanks Frost River.
