When you buy a Canvas bag, a portion of the sale goes directly back to the artist who painted/illustrated/imagined your print to support them on their own adventure.
Let customers speak for us
from 234 reviewsI get so many compliments and questions about my tote! It has a hard life here in Alaska but has held up to all I have thrown at it and have bought several more for gifts for hard working gals!
Canyon Paintbrush
Trick question! It's ALL FOUR! I've had my duffel for 2 months and use it nearly every day. Why? Because you never know what adventures the day will bring, it's THAT versatile. My duffel has thus far been used thusly: always ready for climbing gym, cold plunging, and a trail run; day of swapping between resort skiing, in-bounds ski touring, and working from the ski lodge; 5-day work + fun trip (office, running + bike stuff all fit!); 4-day trip to gravel bike camp where it also served as my day bag; and it seriously is always ready to go... I drive around town with my FRE Phanny, FRE Tote, and FRE Duffel and have to giggle at myself for having so much FUN in one place :)
This duffel is simply designed, beautiful and functional. Construction and quality is impeccable. Carry it with the shoulder strap, handles or sleek conversion to a backpack. Two handy end pockets are generously sized though I use to store my small essentials (wallet, hair thingy, chapstick, snacks). Two inner side pockets are great to separate the wet or sweaty things from the things I have yet to get wet or sweaty that day.
Love it. Wish I could buy more than one but I will just have to buy them as gifts for people I love instead :)
Love the material. Well made.
I am a 65 year old avid Colorado hiker and I love this pack. I grew up with the Fanny pack back in the late 80s. After 30 yrs. Never thought I would buy another one%21 But along comes Free Range gear. I use this pack as my everyday purse and on short hikes. It is amazing how much this pack holds. Best part it’s hands free%2C and as a great old broad%2C I never lose my purse%21 PS I also get ton of compliments on the mountain design from fellow Colorado ladies.
Ample room, generous adjustable strap, amazing design and beautiful art. What more could you want from a phanny pack? Nothing. It's perfect and I use it as my daily run around bag, fits all the things without feeling cumbersome or bulky. Be prepared for people to stop you on the street asking you were you got it.
A great tote bag for my Valentines 💘 with art from one of my (our) favorite local artist Sheila Dunn… perfecto!
We used this as an fundraising incentive at our latest fundraiser event on the mountain and it was a hit!
This bag is awesome! I take it with me everywhere, I go for a hike every day with my dog and it is perfect for my day hikes and I just carry it with me every day in the car too. It just holds everything that I need.
Excellent quality of items and beautiful
I admit it... I have 3-4 "regular" fanny packs hanging in my entryway. BUT I only use one. That's right. My Free Range Phanny is the only one I use. It's sad for the others, but my Phanny and I try to be kind as we go out for rides, runs, and everywhere else. This phanny can do it all! It stays comfortably in place when I run (no bouncing when it's almost full or nearly empty); it's fun to sling over a shoulder to run into the grocery store or as I ride bikes around town; I stuff it full of water, snacks, hand warmers, and spare gloves for nordic + alpine skiing; and sometimes I even throw it in my Free Range Tote as a purse or snack bag. The key chain hook-thingy is key. The inner pocket is perfect for keeping my phone and chapstick in place. Adjusting strap length and extra-strap-length management is a cinch. Great buckle.
Sorry to fanny packs everywhere... the Free Range Phanny is simply way way better.
Excellent, durable product for versatile use
Never have I ever had a tote that (1) has gone everywhere with me every single day and stood up to all the demands of adventure, travel, and bopping around town so beautifully, (2) gotten so many compliments, and (3) brought me joy every time I glance its way or repack and reorganize it because I tend to do that.
Bottom line: this tote is totes the best bag I've ever had and I will use it forever.
One more: zipper pocket is amazing. And the other pocket too. Love.
Using for hiking in Peru
I received a free range bag as a gift and loved it so much I decided to get one for a friend! I use this bag for everything- groceries, travel, yoga, you name it. Quality build and super beautiful design. I like the zipper pocket to keep keys/phone accessible. I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for a versatile, durable, and cute tote.

The Backstory
It started with a restless creative energy inside of our college-dropout founder and a need for the kind of freedom that allows you to explore your own inner child. Both desires were satisfied in the form of a backpack: a simple tool that supports soul-freeing adventure in the mountains and life. The result is a line of bags that are inspired by the Oregon Cascades and designed in the high desert below. Now please fill your pack and join us on the journey - the Free Range is calling.
