Frost River’s Waxed Canvas Flight Bag – $120 – $140

Tough doesn’t have to be ugly.  And simple doesn’t have to be boring.  One bag in particular seems to prove those two statements: The Waxed Canvas Flight bag from the Duluth MN based soft-goods manufacturer Frost River.

It first showed up here in the Best of Made in the USA feature, and the guys at Frost River made it clear they were glad to be on the list.  So glad that they wanted to pass along one of their popular flight bags for a giveaway.  That’s a tough deal to turn down.

Made of heavy duty (but not too weighty) waxed cotton canvas, each of these bags has a unique & continuously developing patina.  For those who don’t spend their Monday nights watching Antiques Roadshow, that means each one looks slightly different.  Plus the exterior will only get better with age.  Plenty big for a weekend too.

To get entered to win the bag you see here, leave the destination of your next planned trip (or one you’d at least like to take) in the comments section.  If your name is the one that’s randomly drawn, the bag is yours.

Deadline for entry is Wednesday 2/23/11 at 11:59 pm ET.  Feel free to let your friends know about the giveaway via facebook & twitter with our handy share bar right below. (yep, shameless)  Shipping is on us unless you live in, I don’t know, Nepal or something.  Good luck, and safe travels.

UPDATE: Congrats to Adam T. who won the drawing for the Frost River Flight Bag.  He said he’d take it to Nashville.  We’ll see if he makes it.  Thanks to all of you who entered, and know we’re always trying to find great giveaways…

  8. Were I at least as tough as that bag, I’d visit Tripoli, Libya and stand with the people in their moment of need.

  13. Well, I’m in Genova, Italy now, and will be taking a week long trip to Prague, Amsterdam, and Paris next week. The weather’s not looking so great, so I could definitely use a tough bag.

  31. I’m really excited to head back to DC to meet up with my family. The last time I visited I was too little to really enjoy anything about the trip.

  37. I’m going to school in Rochester, NY and I’m hoping to visit some friends in the Hartford, CT area soon.

  68. dc in a few weeks. i’ve got this bag and its awesome. but the large bag is huuuuge. i really want to get the smaller one for quick weekend trips.

  79. My wife and I are going to Aspen, CO in August. Cycling, hiking, eating, and enjoying fresh Colorado air.

  84. My itinerary for three weeks in March:

    London > Charlotte, NC > Boston > Portland, OR > Boston > London > Boston.

    After a decade of being the well-off married suburbanite, I gave it all up last month in one dramatic gesture. I’m now working as an independent contractor, living out of my luggage for the foreseeable future. I need something durable enough that can be kick around – on the plane, on the train, late night in my room…

  132. Within a month I’ll be in Chicago, Boston and then down the west coast (Seattle, Newport Oregon, San Francisco, Park City Utah and then Denver. Should be a whirlwind of a month! This is my first major trip(s) and I literally don’t own any luggage. Sad, I know. The Frost River bag would be a nice start!

  137. I’m headed to Montreal for a conference in May. That bag would look great in canada’s most “european” city.

  158. We’re from Chicago, but going to get married in Arizona this spring. Then, in the fall, we are going to Alaska for our “honeymoon.”

  176. Chi-town for a bachelor party followed by a conference for work – would be a great initiation for this great bag (drool)!

  188. I am going to be traveling to Africa this summer, and a bag this nice sure would come in handy.

  201. I’m heading to New Orleans and Vegas for some bachelor parties, then Austin, Tx for one of the weddings. should be good times.

  232. Mt. McKinley in Alaska

    All my gear is going to be packed in expedition duffels so this would be nice for the extras not going up the mountain with me

  255. St. Paul, MN for me. I own the explorer duffel and I can’t say enough good things about it. You can’t describe just how good that waxed canvas feels and looks until you get your hands on it.
