Harnessing Around: 165 lbs. Baby Carrier
Posted by Curtis Nw onHere at the North Water headquarters and factory, product testing Friday afternoon before the long weekend got a little witless. The good news is that we now know that our new 60 L Barrel Harness is rated to at least 165 lbs., and a flailing 165 lbs. to boot.
Developed and tested with our friends at Canoe North Aventures, this new barrel harness will handle anything that you throw at it... including people. It is a lighter, smaller, and simpler design that will get your gear where you need it without a million bells, whistles, and straps.
In a pinch, it will also work as an adult baby carrier, so you can haul your paddling partner down the portage trail.
These guys (the harnesses) will be available starting this fall, so keep an eye out at your local North Water Dealer. No assembly required, adults not included.

It’s all fun and games until someone falls out of the baby carrier! Glad to see you guys are having some fun. Any chance these will be available before Thanksgiving? We’ve got a Fraser River trip around that time. Thanks for continuing to make the best gear ever. We just did a 9 day sea kayaking trip in the Nuchatlitz off the Northern West Coast of Vancouver Island and North Water was well represented :)
