Filson Journeyman Backpack

Description: This is one of the first MIV Journyman backpacks. I have only carried it a few times. A go-anywhere backpack made with Rugged Twill and Tin Cloth. Our Journeyman Backpack features a generous capacity and carries your load comfortably on the trail. We combined the individual strengths of our signature materials to create our 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. Our industrial-strength, 2-ply by 3-ply Rugged Twill forms the back panel and reinforces the base for added structure and durability. The padded shoulder straps are made from 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. Our Bridle Leather is from hides that have been steeped in a bark-tannin solution for weeks, 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 our luggage as it is for horse tack. The Journeyman’s lined main compartment is secured by a heavy-gauge brass 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 pack. The padded back panel protects from sharp or bulky loads, and the interior padded pocket fits laptops up to 15". The exterior pocket is gusseted with corner snaps, allowing it to expand for increased capacity. The one-hand-operable snapped pocket flap ensures your quick-access essentials stay dry.
