FILSON JOURNEYMAN BACKPACK OTTER GREEN
the ultimate compagnion for every trip you make

This water-repellent, medium-weight Filson Journeyman Backpack Otter Green has a padded back and padded shoulder straps for comfort while carrying, no matter how full your load is. It's fully lined to protect gear and has a padded interior laptop sleeve. The sides are gusseted to keep items from falling out when it's open, and the space-maximizing front pocket can be expanded or reduced via snaps to accomodate your needs. Cotton webbing across the back stabilizes the pack for comfortable carrying and added durability. It's built with Filson's most durable fabrics, for a tool that will last through decades of use, in any climate.

Filsons Journeyman Backpack is the perfect example of versatile functionality. It boasts a generous capacity and carries your load comfortably on the trail or on the job. With a design that’s clean and uncluttered, without unnecessary bells and whistles, the Journeyman just goes about its business, day in, day out.

Filson combined the individual strengths of several of hier signature materials to create Filsons best-selling backpack. The main compartment is built with oil finish Tin Cloth to protect your gear from rain, sleet and snow, just as it’s protected generations of loggers and sportsmen in the rain-soaked forests of the Pacific Northwest. Tin Cloth is a tightly-woven canvas duck that’s been thoroughly saturated with a paraffin wax formulation for maximum water repellency.

Filsons 2-ply by 3-ply Rugged Twill, an industrial-strength fabric from the iconic British Millerain, forms the back panel and reinforces the base for added structure and durability. The padded shoulder straps are built with Tin Cloth and lined with Moleskin, a sueded cotton which minimizes slipping while improving breathability.

The contoured, adjustable straps are secured to the backpack with vegetable-tanned Bridle Leather from Wickett & Craig, the historic Pennsylvania tannery since 1867. Each Bridle Leather hide in Filsons Seattle factory has been slowly steeped in an environmentally-friendly bark-tannin solution, with tallows and waxes added in the final stages for suppleness and luster. The final result is a leather that’s as well-suited for thier luggage as it is for bridles and saddlery.

The Journeyman’s spacious, lined main compartment is secured by a solid brass, heavy-gauge YKK® zipper that’s shielded from water by a Tin Cloth gutter along its entire length. It extends more than halfway down the bag, for easy access and visibility into the entire backpack. The back panel and attached laptop sleeve easily hold a 15- up to 17” laptop–and both are padded to protect its contents or your back from sharp or bulky loads.

The exterior pocket is gusseted with corner snaps, allowing it to remain low-profile or expand to increase capacity. The one-hand-operable snapped pocket flap ensures your quick-access essentials stay dry. Added details such as the grab handle, snapped closure over the main compartment’s rain gutter, and zipper pulls are made from Bridle Leather, rounding out a thoughtfully-designed, well-executed backpack that will provide dependable service for as many miles as you care to walk or ride.

The Journeyman Backpack is everything you need in a backpack while carrying the hallmark of well-engineered gear – it does what it’s supposed to do without drawing attention to itself.

TIN CLOTH, legendary super strong, lightweight, and oil impregnated canvas.

The Journeyman Backpack is made of the legendary super strong, lightweight, and oil impregnated 14-oz. ‘Tin Cloth’ canvas. This 'oil finish Tin Cloth' offers the greatest protection against weather influences and wear. Because the cloth is impregnated with a paraffin wax a wax layer creates a canvas that very water repellent and wind resistant. Also gives the layer of wax this Filson bag a slightly darker and more used look, fresh out of the package itself.

RUGGED INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH COTTON TWILL

Filson made the backpanel, bottom and parts of the side with Rugged Twill. Designed and woven exclusively for Filson, Rugged Twill is Filsons most durable, hard-wearing luggage fabric. The industrial-strength cotton is tightly woven in a 2-ply x 3-ply twill and lightly waxed for lasting protection against abrasion and wet weather. The paraffin wax gives it a natural water resistance. Some of Filsons customers’ Rugged Twill luggage pieces have travelled over a million miles with nothing more than a few hard-earned scuffs to show for it.

The characteristic of Rugged Twill is that it develops a unique character as the bag ages. As soon as the canvas breaks with use and some spots get more rubbing or stains, the fabric gets its own unique patina. No two bags will age similarly. Unlike other bags where dirt, scuffs and stains can render a bag unappealing or even unusable, with the rugged twill fabric, these will only serve to add character to your bag.

BRIDLE LEATHER: VEGETABLE-TANNED QUALITY LEATHER

The grab-handle, shoulder straps and iconic accents are made of quality Bridle Leather. Filson has been manufacturing quality leather goods made from Bridle Leather, a premium vegetable-tanned harness leather sourced from North American hides and tanned at Wickett and Craig, a 150-year-old tannery in the United States, since the late 1800s.

HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS

Filson has been making bags and clothing since 1897. This way they know exactly what they are doing.

With so much experience, you can't go wrong with this Filson Journeyman Backpack.
