Filson small duffle (or Sportsman) vs. Blk Pine Boston Bag

[longskate88]

Trying to decide for a new weekend bag, the options are the Filson Small Duffle or Sportsman's in tan, or the Blk Pine Workshop Boston bag in Natural.

The Blk Pine is almost half the price of the Filson, and is much simpler. I'm just worried the 'duck canvas' will be stiff and rough.

The Filson's a tad larger...I actually like the dimensions of the BP better, it's slimmer and easier to carry against the body. I feel they'll both hold similar amounts of stuff, though with the Sportsman it would be much better organized due to the extra pockets.

Any thoughts?
