BWJ Regular Ultimate Canoe Pack:
Recommended use: Our most versatile all-around canoe pack. Works great for personal gear, equipment or food. (Also works with BWJ Poly Food Box.) Specs: 19"w x 34"h (w/top extended) x 12" gusset; 6500 cu in capacity.
Standard features found on ALL BWJ Performance Packs:
-
1000 Denier coated Cordura nylon. This fabric is resistant to grease, oil and ultraviolet rays. It is lighter weight and won't absorb water like canvas. It dries fast, is extremely puncture resistant and stands up to the endless abrasion of canoe country rocks. Simply the best material there is for canoe packs.
-
All full-size packs have double-thickness Cordura bottoms:
-
Extremely comfortable 3 1/2" wide closed-cell foam, padded shoulder straps with heavily reinforced stitching. Shoulder straps on all 6 models are articulated/curved for a non-binding ride and easy on/off. Steel slide hardware quickly adjusts for proper fit.
-
2 or 3 nylon front straps with side-release buckles for easy opening/closing. Low profile of buckles won't hang up on canoe or other packs.
-
Nylon lifting loop stitched to shoulder strap yoke helps with loading and unloading at portage landings and serves as a solid hanging loop.
Both Ultimate Packs include all of these additional features:
-
3/8" thick closed-cell foam pad covers the entire back of the pack to cushion your body for maximum comfort.
-
4" wide padded hip belt with large Fastex buckle distributes weight of heavy loads between your shoulders, back and hips.
-
9" coated nylon extendible top with drawstring closure adds 30% more capacity to the pack. No chance of anything ever spilling out the top.
-
Attached to the articulated padded shoulder straps is a slide adjustable sternum strap with Fastex buckle - a great feature for transferring some weight to your chest so you are not being pulled backwards.
-
Double straps with Fastex buckles secure the gusset flaps over the extendible top and under the outer flap, stabilizing the contents in the upper 1/3 of the pack.
-
Heavy duty nylon lifting handles on each side let you grab the pack with both hands on awkward portage landings.
-
Stainless steel rings on each side for convenient hanging without the stress on the pack of a single hooking point.
-
4 nylon compression straps along each side of the pack create a far tighter, more compact load. Reduces contents shifting on portages and saves space in the canoe.
-
2 cinch straps with slide adjustable steel hardware top off the Ultimate Canoe Pack by pulling what's above your shoulders forward toward your center of gravity.
-
Don't forget the Ultimate comes with contoured padded shoulder straps, double Cordura bottom and nylon lifting loop.
-
Includes a large mesh pocket across the front of the pack for loose or wet items.
