While Dagger no longer makes this canoe, they can still be found. The Legend 15 is great boat for moving water and handles nicely solo due to the seat configuration. It is tough as nails but handles very nicely.

The Otterbox drybox 2000 does what it says it will do. It appears to be dry and is extremely durable. I have used it for my iPhone - it fits an iPhone 5 with an Otterbox Armor series - it also fits the iPhone 5 with the Defender series case). I would prefer one latch instead of two like the 1000 series case, but I understand the necessity here. My 11 yr-old daughter also had some difficulty opening the case, but I'm guessing the latches will become a little easier to open with time.

Pelican 1150 Case
This dry box does exactly what is supposed to do. It is as tough as they get and keeps its contents dry. Seal is durable and the latches are easy to use. The pressure release valve comes in handy. The pick and pluck foam (not sure if they still use this) made it easy to set up the padding for my phone and point and shoot camera - both fit easily. One improvement would be a molded slot for a strap, but I use a biner for easy attachment and removal.

Duluth Pack Rambler

I currently own three Duluth Pack packs and the Rambler is my favorite. It is the perfect size for day paddle trips when I want/need to bring some extra gear or as my "small" pack on overnight paddling trips. I also have used it on many scout outings with my son (he packs his clothes and sleeping bag in it). It is extremely well made and I have had no complaints with the workmanship/craftsmanship for the past eight years. I prefer the front zippered pocket to the buckle type, simply because it makes it easier to get to the small items. The shoulder straps are very comfortable, although leather straps would be nice to have. My only complaint is that I purchased my Rambler before waxed canvas was available.

Overall, a great pack
