Filson 48-Hour Tin Cloth Duffle Bag

The canvas choice, and the one built to age rather than wear out. The shell is 14-ounce oil-finish cotton Tin Cloth, a waxed fabric that develops character with use, trimmed with Bridle Leather handles long enough to go over the shoulder. A removable webbing strap and a trolley strap that slides over a roller handle cover airport days. It is one of the more compact bags at 34 liters, but not a light one: about 3 pounds 13 ounces empty, the price of waxed cotton and leather. Water resistance depends on the wax, so plan to rewax it now and then, and wipe it clean rather than washing it.
