Filson tapped 124 years of experience building rugged outdoor gear to create the Oil Finish Rucksack and Excursion Bag. Both bags are cut from Filson’s new oil finish fabric, a tightly-woven 12-oz. canvas treated with a special paraffin-wax finish that keeps water and mud out. As it ages the canvas will develop a unique patina and can be re-waxed occasionally to maintain water resistance.
With a nod to old-school forestry packs, the Oil Finish Rucksack ($195.00) has a main compartment with plenty of capacity for everyday essentials and a separate padded laptop pocket. The cinch-top closure is protected by a storm flap with quick-release tension hooks. Inside, nylon lining provides extra protection for gear. Outside, the padded back panel and shoulder straps provide extra comfort. From filson.com
The high-capacity Oil Finish Excursion Bag ($325.00) features an expandable, nylon coated pocket to separate wet gear from dry. A U-shaped top-zipper provides easy access to the main compartment, while a side-zipper allow quick-access to the wet gear pocket. Bridle Leather handles and a removable webbing shoulder strap provide versatile carry options. From filson.com
