Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

[Soletrane]

On my ranger pack I’ve found that if you just flip the D-rings around they don’t slip.

Thank you! I had read this in a review once. But wasn't sure what it meant exactly. Could you please elaborate? The relative positions of the two D-rings seem fixed so wasn't sure if you meant twisting the rings so they face inward (to the pack)?

Just flip them upside down!

Thanks for the pic. I also could not figure out what you meant.

I've ordered the small Pullman and will weigh it against the rolling (updated version) carry-on. These have much in common as they are the only two Rugged twill organised carry-on (plane travel dimensions) that are currently available. Organised, as in 'opening flat' and with inside straps.

If anyone wants to know something in particular, ask away.

I am new to the small Pullman myself. Only one trip so far. A week's worth of clothes. No pants, since it was vacation. I also didnt pack any shoes in it. I thought it was great. I have no regrets so far. I go to San Antonio in September, so I will be able to comment more on any airport issues and carrying it on.

I have completed my first pass through the entire thread. I also put my bags in the spreadsheet today. That was a lot of pages! I learned a lot though!

If you are referring to the satchel, yes I have one. It’s a great personal item. My wife loves it. It’s not heavy at all. The biggest problem with this bag is the size. Make sure you look at the measurements and determine if it will be big enough for you. Some will also think it looks a bit like a purse due to its shape and size.

I got too busy and I missed the last day of the sale... wanted to pick up the blue twill duffle too. but yes, the purse shape is what I couldn’t get around. Usually I prefer softer leathers because the shape wouldn’t be too rigid.

I do like the new red mackinaw duffle but I just got 4 bags from the sale...

I was thinking a monthly update with screenshots of the current charts/metrics. I could also include a link to the listing each time. Would anyone be opposed to that? We’re still waiting to have a few of our regulars add their bags. Not point fingers but...

Here is the link so there are no excuses ?

Sorry, I've now updated the spreadsheet with our bags. Here's most of them on a recent family-of-four 10-day trip:

Also, are we including leather/suede pouches?

I chose not to include mine but I’m not sure it really matters. Thanks for adding your stuff to the list. I plan to post updated statistics at the end of the month.

Epic collection of bags as well. My wife recently asked me for 2 more Filson bags of her own after my otter green rolling carry on got compliments from her girlfriends when then came over.

Nice. I got a similar reaction. I convinced my wife to get the navy rolling carry-on for our trip and, once it arrived and she saw the collection we were taking, she said (under her breath in a feeble attempt to not encourage me), "Hmm, we need more blue ones."

Now I have a navy zippered tote on the way for her.

Very nice photo. Good to see the old medium duffle alongside the mtb for comparison. (btw I think you listed the duffle as a 325 on the spreadsheet rather than 222). @TinMan3 - I added my new bag to the doc.
I didn’t add my suede pouch either.

Do we risk extending this to clothes? If so I need to plan a day for data entry...

 

[Churchill W]

Just got this yesterday.

Wore it for the first time today.

I have considered this and I think another tab with clothing would be perfect. I would love to see what other people own in terms of clothes. I often considered starting a new thread for Filson Clothing and Accessories, but like all you guys too much to waste my time elsewhere

You are correct though, I own more pieces of clothing than bags. Though I love them both equally. Lol.

That looks like a TANK. How does it carry?

There is actually a Filson clothing thread HERE

I'm not sure if it was just what I was carrying today, but it actually didn't feel too heavy. Have not fully loaded it yet.
