Customer Reviews
Excellent quality!
(note, review from Feb. 2022)
The design is historically attested and well executed... but the leather is rather thin and in person has a rather plastic-y modern looking finish. This version will work for just a blanket and some socks, but the tails won't likely handle portaging like the real voyageurs did with these.
The exact same piece made with good quality veg-tan leather, maybe twice as thick? That would be amazing, and I'd have happily paid twice the price for it!
If that's not an option - were I to make this order over again at Townsends, I'd have gotten their hand-woven sash instead. Even if it's more expensive, I think it would both look better and hold up better.
(cf the inspiring "The Quintessential Trekking Kit" video on their youTube channel)
The design is really simple and can be adjusted to all manner of blanket or roll sizes. The leather is actually more comfortable than I thought. Great buy to round out any trek or hiking gear you have.
