Duluth Pack Store — Local services in Duluth

I'm giving my honest thoughts for those of you WANTING their first Duluth bag. Save your money. I received a back pack, and also have 2 totes. These bags while thick canvas are waaaaaaay OVERPRICED for the simple bag that really are not thoughtfully designed at all. Each size is awkwardly not spacious whether large medium or small (except maybe the large canoe bag). The dimensions on every one are wrong. Whether it is too narrow too wide or too tall and all three combined. The leather is awkward and stiff. I spent several hours working leather straps for both totes just so I didn't look silly using the bag. Ya ya time should take care of this. I won't be suing this everyday...

Look these bags are not functionally designed for every day use and that's a fact and that includes the goofy 175.00 scout pack that is so narrow you couldn't fit a sweatshirt in there, yes i'm serious... no jacket or sweatshirt. It's all for show...this company's' products are all for show and not usage.

Never ever would I ever buy anything else from them and especially at these prices. Some people cannot visit the company store in Duluth as I have. I received a gift that I had to exchange so I did settle for these products. But in truth I prefer my Landsend canvas, Fjallraven Canvas, and Duluth Trading canvas. The sewing and craftsmanship is no better than a Chinese bag and as I said THE BIGGEST ISSUE is not one tote or bag is properly sized for good use. Lakewalk bag too narrow and too short, Market bag too wide, Scout Pak waaaaay too narrow and boxy.

I have handled and carefully inspected each style of bag and tote at their flagship store and had to settle for these to spend a gift card...Move on people there are way better bags out there. People may say ooooh how could this be they have such a great following... ya for influencers to fake a lifestyle ...it's all for show.. I travel all over and own several types and brands of even high end bags and this is just useless yuppy gear. The one star I gave for the quality or the buckles and ykk zippers. Family canoe bags from 50 years ago are far better bags. AVOID SAVE YOUR MONEY. ETA: As another reviewer suggested Frost River...wow wish had I checked them 1st. That will be...

Today, my fiancé and I, set off in search for an axe, for our needs for when we are out hiking and camping in the woods. Cassie absolutely loves this store, she’s gotten 3 different bags and a hatchet from here among other small things such as stuffed animals, cast iron skillets, and books. We even got our son, Tristan, an awesome summer dress shirt from here that was super comfortable. We talked about getting a long handle axe for a while and today was the day. There was only a few axes that were available but after the clerk was kind of enough to let us see them and get a feel for them we went with the Scandinavian Forest Axe. Even though this was one of their high end axes we knew this would be the best fit for us. We were looking at another axe which was considerably less which had a really light handle, an exclusive hand painted camp axe painted midnight blue. I’m sure it’s a nice axe but we knew what felt better in the end and we are both happy with our purchase. We were happy to find out as well that our new axe has a 20 year warranty in the case there is any defects with the blade or handle. Not only are the products at Duluth Pack good quality but they are long lasting. The bags here have a lifetime warranty on them, we have had to have one patched before and was returned to us practically brand new again. The customer service here is amazing as well. Everytime we walk in they greet us and make sure all of our camping, hiking, and tool needs are met. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks everyone who made our experience there one not to forget! #schroyerfamily #schroyerfamilydaily #camping #hiking #axe...

So it was a Saturday morning and UPS drops off a new Gransfors Outdoor Axe from Duluth Pack. Packing was superb. I open it, I'm overjoyed with this hatchet in my paws, so I throw some shoes on and take it outside to test, and as to be expected it worked so well I thought dwarves might have forged it. I shoot a bit of spray paint on the bottom of the handle let it dry and then remove it so the grain looks different from other campers tools, yet still will maintain that wood handle feel. Ok so I have done all of this and never noticed the fitting of the head. I mean it's so bad I think Duluth sold me a Gransfors second quality at full price. It's fully functional however at full price for a wedge that is the only material in a part of the handle fitting. Gransfors promises that second quality will perform just as good, and it did. But Duluth has a responsibility to inform that sq is what I was purchasing and the price reflected that of A REAL GRANSFORES!!!!! Because of such a blunder I will be verrrrrry hesitant to purchase from Duluth Pack ever again and feel as a GBA fan boy it is my responsibility to inform Gransfors of this blunder. I would like to think Duluth Pack is not buying Seconds axes and selling them as first rate GBA material but hey people do lowly things and some of those people own companies. I'm sure GBA will know how to handle this. No...
