While many, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, are knee deep in planning (or taking) summer excursions, most retailers have already moved on to clearing out space for new fall and winter inventory.
Filson, for its part, just announced its annual summer sale, which includes discounts of 25% or more on a wide range of the company’s excellent totes, briefcases, backpacks, and duffles.
As long-time fans of the Seattle-based outfitter, we’ve scoured the listings to identify the best pieces in the sale and shared them below. Most discounts apply to bags that many might use at least once a week, if not every day.
But one bag caught my attention more than anything else, even though it might be the most specialized option in the entire sale section: Filson’s Scout All-Weather 50L Duffle Bag.
For those familiar with Patagonia’s ubiquitous Black Hole duffle, the Scout offers a comparable blend of durability, function, and adaptability — but with Filson’s more heritage-driven aesthetic and a few details that are especially thoughtful for overland travel.
Currently, it’s available for 25% off its retail price, making it cheaper than the Black Hole, in two colors that, while not as versatile as the standard black and olive options, are still nice enough to merit consideration.
Here’s what makes the bag great and worth considering right now.
