Direct peers

• Frost River: Handmade-in-USA canvas bags, packs, and outdoor gear brand that overlaps with Beckel's canvas duffel, tote, and accessory line for travel and outdoor consumers.
• Kodiak Canvas: Direct competitor in canvas wall tents and canvas camping shelters, with broader product breadth and a wider dealer/retailer footprint than Beckel.
• CanvasCamp (Tentipi): Canvas tent maker (formerly Tentipi) producing pyramid/nordic-style tents, overlapping with Beckel's Miner/Pyramid tent and TT tent offerings in the same outdoor recreation market.
• Duluth Pack: Heritage American canvas/leather bag maker competing in the same premium made-in-USA canvas duffel and pack segment as Beckel Canvas bags.
