There are few brands with a reputation for quality, attention to detail and smart features quite like the one Filson has spent their entire existence creating–especially when it comes to their bags. Whether you’re talking dry bags, duffles, weekenders or briefcases, Filson makes some of the best bags out there. This new Filson Ballistic Nylon Duffel Backpack Hybrid Bag is the perfect example of everything we’ve come to expect from the brand. Tough-as-nails construction with cut, tear and abrasion-resistant ballistic nylon. Full-length padded laptop pocket. Exterior side and interior zipper pockets. Lined mud pockets for your dirty gear. The same stylish design and thoughtful construction you’ll find in all of their other bags. But most importantly, this particular bag is designed to be used as a traditional duffel with carry handles and a shoulder strap, or as a backpack with padded straps that stow into their own dedicated pocket. With enough space for an entire trip worth of gear, it’s going to be hard to find a better, more versatile bag. This is Filson we’re talking about, so of course the Ballistic Hybrid Bag comes in all their classic colorways like Whiskey brown, Otter Green and Dark Navy.
