The reviewer found the ripstop nylon rugged and resistant but also rigid, with limited malleability when fitting items inside. The reviewer found the empty bag light, while its cavernous main compartment accommodated a large amount of gear. The storm-flap-covered cinch accommodates flexible loads, including items extending above the opening, or can tighten to reduce the profile.
The reviewer praises the full-width stretch-mesh interior pocket for quick access immediately after uncinching the Filson Ripstop Nylon Backpack. The reviewer says the interior quick-access pocket held keys, phone, wallet, field notes, and a pen without difficulty.
