The Ultimate Combination of Comfort and Durability
Our original design - the optimum combination of comfort, light weight and durability. The sling-like design of our pads flexes to adapt the load to your shoulders. The single bolt mount, when loosened, provides enough side-to-side adjustment to comfortably fit any shoulders. You would be amazed how much difference in comfort even a half inch of adjustment can make! Weighing in at only 12 ounces, our pads are the best value in portaging! Their durability is becoming legendary - outfitters have found that they get season after season of use and abuse without failure. In addition, the pads themselves are replaceable, so you can replace a damaged pad for far less than the cost of a new set. If you'd like wing nuts in place of the standard nuts, just say so when ordering - we'll include them for you.

Clamp-on Yoke Pads
Is your yoke just too beautiful to drill? Are there times when you'd like to take your pads off and not leave a hole behind? If so, our new clamp-on pads are for you! Based on the same comfortable, yet bombproof design as our original pads, these pads offer many advantages over existing clamp-ons. There's no protruding hardware to tear your packs on. Also, all of the hardware is captive, so you can't lose any parts at the worst possible time. Imagine! Comfort, durability, lightness, and convenience - all in one pad design!

For Tender Shoulders and Heavier Loads

We've added an extra inch of soft, open-cell foam to our original pad for added comfort on the longest and toughest of portages (or for anyone who believes you can never have enough padding). If you'd like extra-thick pads, just say so - and add $10 to the price of the pads (that would make the standard pads $60 and the clamp-on pads $70). If you already have CVCA pads, you can order replacement pads to fit your existing frames for $20. We'll include instructions on how to interchange the pads (it's easy).
