Woods Canada

Quality Gear over two centuries

Woods Canada ®, a family-owned company, has been the foremost name in outdoor equipment since 1885, when James W. Woods began selling and manufacturing outdoor goods in the Ottawa River Valley area. For more than a century, Woods has sponsored and outfitted some of the most famous explorers: Roald Amundsen, who traversed the Northwest Passage in 1903 and Admiral Byrd for his historic Antarctic Expedition of 1928.

Woods sponsorship of the Labrador Odyssey includes (among other things) supplying several Woods packs of traditional canvas with leather straps and tumpline and one Woods Mason pack (extra strong nylon), two modified two-to-three man Woods Coppermine River tents. For sleeping, Woods is providing the Northern Lite 900 bags made of Thinsulate Liteloft, a proven performer when nighttime temperatures dip close to freezing, as well as the Woods Inferno down bags for field testing.
