I am about to pull the trigger on a Filson, but don't know, which one to take.
Does anyone know if the Large Travel bag (248) will fit in airline overheads? Thx!
I am about to pull the trigger on a Filson, but don't know, which one to take.
The dimensions and weight of almost all of the Filson luggage is detailed on our site. The 256 is a good choice for you however down the road the 257 will probably serve you better.
Hi, I can't give you a comprehensive answer, but hopefully I can provide some useful information. After being in more or less the same boat as you, I decided on the 257 and received it yesterday. I can fit my laptop, one notebook and two textbooks along with some small things into the bag, but nothing else. If you will need to carry this much, get the 257. If you need to carry more, get something else. Also, I can't imagine using it for shopping.
What is it like when you carry the empty 257? Does it follow your body shape (like in this post) or is it more stiff (like in this post, where I assume that it is fully loaded)?
While I could find the dimensions, I could not find the weight (which is more essential, I think).
We have temporarily disabled the 257 on the site. The reason being we are out of stock and cannot get any in tan until sometime in June and brown in early July. It appears that Filson is having a major issue getting material or their production schedule is a royal mess. In any case it's something they need to correct and hopefully this does not happen again.
256's also back ordered?
I think we have a few in Otter but you'll have to call or email the store. Same thing goes for international shipping quotes.
Here is my 256. I've had it for about 2 years and carry it almost daily.
