About this piece

The slim style rides flat, and is a function-first design that's made to be used. Duluth’s Canal Park is home to the Aerial Lift Bridge, the start of The Lakewalk, great restaurants, the Canal Park Brewing Company, a television station, and it's a great place to watch salties (ocean going ships) and lakers (bulk-carrying ships that just sail the Great Lakes) come and go from the port.   

About the artist

Christin Fargo started Frost River in Duluth in 2002 with a single sewing machine and a belief that gear should outlive the person carrying it. The company now employs 40 craftspeople in a century-old building overlooking Lake Superior.

The lifetime guarantee isn't marketing; it's how they were raised.
