Filson Ranger Backpack
GET ITI’ve tested tons of backpacks over the years, but I’ve never found one that’s big enough to use for a weekend getaway and that looks nice enough to haul my gear to work—until now. Filson’s rugged Ranger backpack is pretty minimal: It has one huge main compartment, a spot to keep a laptop or a magazine inside, along with one small pocket for keys or a portable charger and an opening flap that, should you spill something on it, wipes off without a problem. While the buckles sometimes slow me down when I’m rushing out the door, I don’t have to worry about a potential broken zipper. It’s not cheap, but it’s ideal for the traveler who wants to upgrade their everyday luggage. — John Lonsdale, Deputy Editor
