Camo truly is the new black as we’ve previously noted, so why take a boring black duffle bag on the road or your next adventure when the Filson Duffle Backpack offers so much more. It is made of rugged Cordura nylon that can stand up to abrasions while also offering some water resistance.
The bag’s top cinches with a leather strap and grommets, while a center-front zipper still allows for easy access to the contents inside. The padded shoulder straps are removable, while it also features RIRI zippers for smooth sliding. Its camouflage design will also help you stand out in a crowd but in a good way!
Camouflage is something that many people probably don’t think much about, except to note that it is used by military forces around the world to help the wearer blend in. It also has used for hunters, and anyone who doesn’t want to be so easily seen. The first true “camouflage” was arguably just sand colored clothing used by the British military in India in the 1840s and 1850s – and this took its name from the Persian word for sand, which just happens to be “khaki.” Today we think of khakis as a comfortable type of pants, or a color. Likewise, camouflage clothing has become a bit of a fashion statement, while still serving a purpose.
