Shoot. Literally hovering my mouse over the order button for a Sportman's Bag. I already own a tin cloth small duffle. Hah, anyone want that? That'd make me feel better about getting the Sportman's...


The Sportsman's bag is a great Flson. I have one in tan and it is very versatile. Tons of configurable storage and at 25% off, it is a no-brainier!

Do it...do it...do it:)

I use my Sportsman for alot of things, but when my wife has our baby (she's four months pregnant with our first) I just can't justify using it to tote around dirty diapers and spit-up rags. That will be a job left to my tin cloth field bag; which will still be a manly step up from the coach diaper bag she's getting for Christmas!

this is probably me being OCD but just got a 257 in the mail and it's pretty wrinkled out of the box. Any tips to unwrinkle?

Load stuff in it and start using it. The material will take care of itself. I bet by the end of the day the wrinkles will be gone...

using my 257 quite a bit on this trip

I was wondering if anyone had issues with the shoulder strap sliding off your shoulder? The shoulder strap pad is just a but too slick on the bottom side. Anyone try anything to get a bit more grip with it?

The strap is an optional accessory. Is it possible to go without? I only carry my bag for a total of 5 minutes every day and the strap would be an annoyance. I carry by the handle.
