Filson Ripstop Nylon Pullman

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 Pullam 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.
