My filson rucksack handle tore off where it attached to bag, piece of rubbish. Got it repaired by them but never again. It's also fairly annoying as a bag since there are no internal compartments, so it's just a sack of your stuff, and the front pockets are very pickpocketable, so your valuables end up right at the bottom of the sack compartment or stolen. Not to mention faffing around with the buckles just to close it.

Noone asked for it, but there's my review of this overpriced piece of rubbish: https://www.filson.com/uk/rugged-twill-rucksack.html

^ also does anyone have any other recommendations with the same aesthetic? Lots of compartments is also a bonus. Thanks

Have Mismo prices gone up?

Obviously they were never cheap but this is bananas for a JD bag.
