About the: Guardian Hydration
I'd just like to say how much I like my Guardian Hydration system. I work seven days a week on the warehouse floor and having my pack means I don't have to go for water breaks. It also means I avoid dehydration sickness or having to rely on good water pressure at the on-site water fountains. Thanks guys, love your products.

About the: Aero-Vest™ - Wildland
Just wanted to drop you a quick note! I have been using the orange urban aerovest now for a couple of months, and I couldn’t be happier!

- H. Bryan

About the: Double Diamond™
This is what is referred to as outstanding customer service. Both from yourselves, and from True North. Not many companies in this country will respond directly with a customer, thinking the customer is just a number. I cannot say enough how I am impressed with your service.

About the: L-2 RIT Bag
...this is the best RIT bag I have personally played with and by now, I feel like I’ve seen most of them!

- C. Wachs

About the: Alpha™ Jacket Mens
I received the Alpha Jacket - SF and wore it this past weekend during wilderness survival training. It's surprisingly lighter then I expected, yet kept me quite warm. I thought my nomex flight suit was soft, but your nomex fleece takes safety and comfort to a new level.

- I. Kluge

About the: Loadmonster™
Thanks for the great pack. One liter Nalgene bottles easily fit in the side pockets of my Loadmonster. I can also fit my 700ml Ti cup, with the Nalgene bottle setting inside of it. I am amazed at how much I can fit inside the Loadmonster, and it is great to have my windbreaker lashed on top, easily available when I stop. I am also very pleased with how comfortable the pack is when loaded. I do have a herniated disc in my back, and this pack has eliminated the pain after a day hike. Thank you again.

- B. Carter

About the: Double Diamond™
Thanks for the new packs! My husband loves the heavy duty harness, and it fits perfectly. I'm keeping the smaller one for myself . . . I'm so glad that True North continues to make recreational packs. I'll spread the word!

About the: Spitfire™ Pack
Just wanted to let you know what a great job that bag did in New Orleans after Katrina...The bag has been deconned and is back in service. Thanks for making such a great product! (I picked up a couple of accessories, too, and found them very handy and sturdy).

About the: Firefly™ Pack
I ordered one of the Firefly packs from..and put it through its paces yesterday, and I must say - this pack is freakin' awesome. This pack was not only more comfortable, but more versitile - being on an engine crew, I could drop the main pack and have quick-gear for when we are chasing flames with the engine. You guys at True North have my sincere personal thanks (oh, and my back thanks you too!)

About the:
I have to commend you for how your company is run. It is rare to have a company with good products *and* good customer service. Thank you for providing both.

- S. Witaschek

About the: Loadmonster™
I have written less than five letters in my 52 years extolling the virtues of a particular commercial product, but I am compelled to do so for an outdoor item that is measurably superior to all others in the same genre. The subject is daypacks, then manufacturer is True North, and the product is the Loadmonster.

- G. Toth

About the:
We used these bags for RIT training. It went through 3 shifts for two weeks; each shift had a total of 12 RIT scenarios each. As you can see they held up well... Thanks for providing the fire service with great products.

- M. Hickson

About the: Spyder Gear™
The fire packs you sent us were the most comfortable line gear I've used in 30+ years of wildland firefighting.

- J. Reasoner

About the: Radio Chest Dual Universal Harness
I just wanted to let you know how much the great customer service is appreciated. I will certainly continue using your products in the future.

- M. Morales

About the: Firefly™ Pack
Once again we have used your gear through a rigorous fire season and been very pleased with the adaptability of usability of your fire packs. We appreciate your lifetime warranty and hope getting some gear back for repairs aids in new design against problem areas.
(True North Response: If you’ve ever felt there was some way to improve on our designs - even if it’s only a little bit – we’d sure appreciate you taking a moment to contact us a with your ideas.)

- S. Smith

About the: Aero-Vest™ - Wildland
As a search and rescue instructor who teaches in several countries worldwide and a search and rescue responder I have found the True North products not only to be SAR proof, but quality that has lasted the test of time in the field under strenuous conditions.

- R. Smith

About the: Spitfire™ Pack
I have used my pack for fire, search and rescue also for general hiking for about 2 years and love it. I've been doing back country rescue for about 25 years and have gone thru many packs. For a true rescue pack I think your pack surpasses all others, very good design, rugged, and comfortable.

About the: Loadmonster™
If I had to keep one item [recreational packs] and get rid of everything else, it would be my True North Loadmonster.

About the: Firefly™ Pack
Thank you for making a quality user friendly pack, the Cadillac of packs the Firefly. 3 seasons with it and it has taken more abuse than I can throw at it and besides ash all over it. It is as good as the day I bought it no wear and tear that I can see. I love this pack...

- J. Pilkington

About the: Firefly™ Pack
My Firefly pack is 5 years old and has seen 5 years of rough abuse and miss treatment. With only one minor buckle that broke in 2006. My pack is still strong and works great. I love it. I tryed Nimrod and Wolfpack packs last season with the FS and I went back to my Firefly after a month of using them. I love MY firefly. I bought a Spit Fire for day hiking and as a back up IA pack and love it just as much as my Firefly. Great packs and I am looking forward to buying more gear from you soon.

- R. Pacheco

About the: Spitfire™ Pack
I own a Spitfire Pack. The pack is on it's third fire season and has held up very well. I'm very happy with pack and I highly recommended it.

- D. Page

About the: Firefly™ Medic
I used the pack extensively this past summer while performing as an EMT at numerous bike races, Summer Meltdown concert, and at a soccar tournament. The pack performed well and has exceeded my expectations. I carry it every day in my truck just in case I happen by any medical emergencies.

- G. Laycock

About the: Guardian Hydration
I have been using the water bag all week, and I must say that I am truly impressed! When you say that it doesn't taste of plastic, you mean it! I am definitly happy I bought it. The other brand here is Camelbak. I've been told that it tastes like plastic, so you're onto a winner with your plastic formula. Well done, and thank you.

- A. Bauld

About the: Job Shirt
We received the shirts today and they look excellent. The rip stop fabric adds a tactical look to the shirt and should add some durability. Everyone loves the shirts and cannot wait to get their hands on them. Everything down to the plastic bag wrapping was exceptional. This, along with a product that is made in the USA is why I continue to buy your products.

- J. Weirich

About the: Firefly™ Pack
We use the Firefly line gear and have been satisfied for over 4 years now. Your customer service is also good.

- A. Hall

About the: Firefly™ Pack
Thanks to you all I have found the solution to every single problem I have been searching for. With the Firefly I have enough room to take what I need into the field. The ease of taking the main compartment off and using the smaller configuration worked great for day hikes out of our base camps. The lower profile meant less entanglement in vines and low-lying vegetation. Over all I am extremely pleased with the design and quality of your products.

- S. Meacham

About the: Campaign 14-day bag
Everyone thinks the bags are great. We can get all our stuff in the bag. Stuff is clothes, sleeping bag, kit bag, tent and blow up pad, etc.

- J. Mulac

About the: Power Dry® FR T-Shirt LT / Mens
I have worn the FR t-shirt on several Ambulance runs and two chimney fires, and have nothing but good things to say about it. The color is just right, and it works just as advertised. It has kept me dry in the back of the ambulance, when a patient was in shock, and we had to keep the heat cranked up. And under my bunker gear at the chimney fires, it also kept me dry under strenuous hose-hauling and nozzle work. Thanks again, it looks like you have a winning shirt.

- S. Knudtson
