Why buy a Langford?
Langford Canoe Co. Canada's Oldest Canoe Company, and has remained unchallenged for almost 70 years in it's reign as the premier name in canoe manufacture. Langford has managed to survive, thrive and to hold rank for almost 7 decades, because of an adherence to quality and consistent reinvention. Rather than being forced to borrow from others, We are able to plumb our deep history for inspiration and build upon it.
Our canoes perform better, last longer, and are lighter than any other canoe on the market because they are better built than any other canoe on the market. We have refined the manufacture of canoes to an art form.
The educated consumer and true paddler quickly realizes that regardless of semantics and gimmicks, Langford is actually providing a literal and visible point to which all other canoes are measured.
With even a quick glance at the internet or a paddle sports magazine one notices the multitude of competitors suddenly rushing to mimic that which Langford has specialized in for decades.
The promises made by late comers, are by way of finished product simply not delivered upon.
Langford has been satisfying the paddling needs of generations of paddlers and we have been doing this for at least 50 years longer than any of our competitors have been in business.
Wisdom of course comes only with years of accrued knowledge, and thanks to at least a half century head start on the competition, you can rest assured that Langford has no equal.
Imitation is recognized as the most sincere form of flattery, and Langford is happy to continue the position of providing the "bench mark" to which the rest of the composite canoe market measures.
Langford was the first and remains the only company able to build functional and durable canoes under the 60 pound mark.
With a Langford there is no sacrifice in durability, function or performance, regardless of weight... All Langford Kevlar and Kevlar Ultra Lites are "Stand on the bottom Strong"... If it's not stand on the bottom strong, than the canoe is not made to the same spec or quality and most assuredly suffers for it. When one truly compares "apples to apples" it is readily apparent that Langford is making the lightest canoes on the market... That is of course if things like build quality, durability/ease of repair, and function are taken into consideration.
The wide range of hull shapes we provide, makes a Langford the most suitable, for everything from casual use at the cottage, to wilderness excursions of 4500 km and beyond. Each of our designs are constantly updated and consistently improved upon so that we are able to provide the level of function the paddler deserves.
Do not shop based on price and specs alone. Do not be fooled by weasel words like "Proprietary" make sure you compare actual qualities like the following; actual final weight, true depth, stability, material consistency and finish, actual capacities, trim, hull-rigidity, and most importantly compare these things to the finished and true weight of the canoe, as well as the consistency of weight amongst samples of the same model. Whether you are searching for the lightest of tripping canoes, the safest cottage canoes,or the most elegant cedar and cedar canvas canoes available today, you owe it to yourself to visit Langford Canoe.
... Shop Smart... Buy Right... Buy Once...
