Battle Lake Outdoors: Bags for All Occasions at Great Value
:: Great prices :: Huge selection :: Multiple colors, black too :: Durable construction ::
Battle Lake Outdoors offers amazing value on a huge selection of bags for the American on-the-go. Specialty sporting and gear bags accommodate endless travel scenarios. Ski and boot bags, snowboard, rifle bags and gun cases, commuter bags, water bottle packs, fanny packs, bicycle bags, firefighter and first response bags, travel and duffle (duffel?) bags, briefcases, shoulder bags, totes and backpacks cover the spectrum.
We’ll give them some time to update their website and photography (which needs some TLC), but the product looks awesome and we can only hope they offer a more modern palette of colors including photo samples so we can see exactly what we’re buying. You will always be safe in choosing black, blue, red or green for now. We love the green backpack shown above, it can be found in their “Canoe Packs” section.
Great prices and solid Made in USA product at Battle Lake Outdoors:

Deva Lifewear: Comfortable, Functional Cotton Clothing
:: Made with love :: Huge selection :: Great prices :: For the whole family ::
Deva has been making clothes in the USA for a long time now. Starting as a small network of at-home sewing team, they have evolved into a larger organization that is still dedicated to high quality, high value comfortable clothing, and still maintains an eco-conscious philosophy. Garments vary from shirts, skirts, shorts and pants, to socks, underwear, hosiery and yoga clothes, to hats, vests, jackets and carpets. Special categories for work and travel too, and there are even a few models for kids.
Most fabrics are cotton, but some items include hemp-cotton blends. My father has worn his Deva cotton jacket almost every day for the past decade – he says it is his favorite clothing, and a few designs are unisex.
Check in often, because their clearance and sales prices are ridiculously low!

Z Becky Brown: Handbags with Interchangeable Designs
:: Great prices :: Lid and handle options :: Change inserts for new look :: Great gift!
Z Becky Brown is similar to the Onesole Shoe company – it is founded on the principle of choosing a base product, then bringing it to life with interchangeable patterns. This is great from a fashion standpoint, a budget standpoint, AND is good for the environment, in that the inserts can renew the product’s life without too many resources.
If you are in gift mode for that special lady in your life, consider the ultimate combination of a Z Becky Brown bag AND a Onesole shoe.
On the website, I recommend using the left-hand navigation for a more timely experience. Choose your handle and lid combination, then choose your inserts. The pattern and color choice is very high quality – patterns are fun, modern, and sophisticated – and are sure to complement anyone’s wardrobe or shoes-of-the-day (lol).
Tough Traveler: Every Bag Imaginable in Multiple Colors
:: Great pricing :: Durable :: Award winning :: Wide variety :: Specialty
Every type of bag imaginable for any type of activity imaginable, made in the USA since 1970. I would like to highlight their huge selection of baby-carrier backpacks that have aluminum frames for rigidity, heavy duty Cordura fabric for comfort and softness, and YKK zippers. I count 6 models, and even 2 packs for carrying a pet. They also have some pretty decent camera bags, and I personally would go for black or brown fabric all the way, but they do have dozens of available colors if that’s your bag. Bags include backpacks, medical, many duffels, diaper, suitcases, garment, computer, bike, shoulder bags, purses, dog carriers, messenger bags, totes, wheeled luggage, waistpacks, wallets, and more.
Feast your eyes on the BEAUTIFUL brown Saranac bag (center image) with really nice finish and great proportions. We would love a sample for “testing”. Also note the “Tri-Zip” suitcase just to the right of the Saranac. This gets a lot of great press for travelers – and a design that I have been seeking for a long time. Not only does it have handles to carry in suitcase fashion, but it also has shoulder straps for long hauls – perfect for European travel or any extended traveling that involves some walking.
Tough Traveler’s duffel bags are a better value than the LL Bean classic duffel (which are imported and now use thinner fabric) – and they are built to survive a rugged lifestyle.
