Seasonal Haul Filson was founded in 1897 to provide products to “anglers and hunters, engineers and explorers, mariners and miners, and anyone who refuses to stay indoors.” Founder Clinton C. Filson’s quality statement—” We guarantee every item purchased from us. No more, no less. Your satisfaction is the sole purpose of our transaction”—continues to stand after more than 100 years, and the reason for his confidence is evident in the company’s Duffle Backpack, a well-built large rucksack that holds a surprising amount of gear—and a whole lot of history. filson.com
