Filson Ripstop Nylon Pullman Black

Constructed from a tough, lightweight fabric with roots tracing back to WWII, our Ripstop Nylon Pullman is the ideal travel companion, no matter where the journey takes you. It’s comfortable to carry by hand, over your shoulder or on your back, and sized to meet airline carry-on size requirements.

Ripstop nylon was the ingenious solution to replace silk for use in parachutes during WWII when our airborne troops needed an ultralight fabric that could survive combat. The incorporation of a cross-hatch pattern of strong reinforcing threads into the weave of the lightweight nylon fabric prevented any holes that developed from spreading–a critical feature thousands of feet above the earth. We built our Pullman bag with a stout variant of that revolutionary fabric that can withstand the abuse of travel for countless miles. Produced by Cordura®, our 500D ripstop nylon is light in weight, yet sturdy enough to resist abrasion, punctures and tearing.

The water-resistant YKK® AquaGuard® zipper extends around 3 sides, allowing the bag to be opened clamshell-style for ease of access to your gear. On one half, adjustable nylon-webbing straps secure folded clothes, keeping them neat and organized. On the other, a panel-opening zipper makes the perfect large pocket for storing dirty clothes or other gear, and features a zippered-mesh pocket for additional organization. Front-zipper and rear snap-secure pockets provide quick access to gear on the fly. The 2”-wide webbing handles extend around the bag for load-carrying strength and boast a padded handle for carrying comfort. The shoulder strap features a moveable pad for carrying comfort and is removable to prevent snagging. Padded, adjustable shoulder straps allow backpack-style carry for hands-free convenience, and can be removed when not in use.

The Ripstop Nylon Pullman–ultimate carrying versatility in a lightweight travel bag that’s carry-on sized for extended trips.
