Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

[Rymanocerous]

I also rotate unlisted stock as that is one of the main points I do what I do.....it'll be hard. I change bags at least 2 times at week on average.

Maybe you can just add your 'go-to' or proffered bags/color. We can add an * to you

On the subject of visibility of the list it appears that the forum software supports html signatures so a link could be added to @TinMan3 signature.

Another thought is it might be worth adding a column to the list as a “for sale” so members looking to swap/change/ etc. could get first dibs. That would probably have to exclude general stock from “power sellers” like GZ and TinMan.

Received my fourth Filson in a month today. Ordered a new to me 257 from GzStudio. Pre-bedrock tan. To the touch, it does feel more substantial and thicker than my brand new navy one. The inside pieces are definitely lighter weight on the navy. No question there. I think I’m going to like tan much better. Pics to follow.

If anyone is looking for a one month used navy 70257 at a nice discount please let me know.

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 ?

Busted. Updated.

Unfortunately I'm only a member of the club in spirit. (I've been super-happy with the VP bag - it's been all over the place with me and I've got zero complaints)

I knew you had moved on from your Talon 257, but I didn’t know that was your only
Filson bag. Looks like we’ve got some work to do to get you a travel bag or something

Oh I've seen a few listings posted here that have made me twitch, but I haven't been very responsible the last couple years and it's time to fix that. Austerity and enjoy-what-I've-got mode...

And when I travel (which is a lot, often internationally), I'm a weird combination of Be-Prepared-Boy-Scout and stripped down. The VP bag is much like the 257 - absorbs a good deal of volume with aplomb - and then I've got a Briggs & Riley bag that is my indestructible workhorse, and replaced/repaired for free if I ever manage to hurt it. B&R doesn't care how or why, just fix or replace. After 750K+ miles over the last seven years, that's what I'd need from Filson for luggage, and the website says "We guarantee the lifetime of each item made by Filson against failure or damage in its intended usage". If that's the equivalent of what B&R offers me, I'm interested, though there seems to be some room to quibble there...

 

[speedy611]

Hmm. Not sure I’ve ever seen one of these before - a “72 hour duffle”. Perhaps a limited edition or a precursor to the 48 duffle? Looks like an oversized 261 with a flat front zip pocket.

 

[GzStudio]

I believe that is the meridian. should have metal feet on the bottom I think.

I have a question. What was the discontinued bag that had the zippered bottom section for dirty/wet shoes and clothing? Also, does anyone have one for sale?

These were the Small/Medium/Large Outfitter bags. I have a 239 (which was the largest I believe). Great bags. There’s several on eBay but they’re rarely under $400 or $500 depending on size and “era.”

Interested in that navy 257!

 

[GzStudio]

I think i have a few medium and large outfitter bags. the 239 is the XL (only one to have snap-in dividers on bottom). Yes, they are rarely below that price. Odd bag, but perfect for some.

Color me a bit confused. That's the 257 - as the tag clearly states it, but it may be missing the extra divider with the extra stash of pockets. It may be just a visual that I'm missing but can I rely on my other 257 experts? Am I seeing this right? Was it a 257 that has already had the other divider removed?

I ask because I'm about ready to pull my extra divider out - it caught my attention.

What do you think? Am I seeing things (or NOT seeing things?) Optical illusion from the angle of the pictures?
