Cavernous kitbag for activities and adventures
Whether you're into climbing, paddling, sailing or snow sports, sometimes what you need is just a great big gear hauler to get your stuff where it's going. Enter the Topo Designs mountain gear bag. With nearly 50 litres of capacity – plus expandable pockets and daisy-chain attachment webbing on the outside – it's got loads of space for your toys, and the roll-up top panel makes it super-easy to load up and rummage around in. The main compartment features mesh pockets to keep everything organised, and it's lined with easy-clean 10oz waterproof vinyl tarp to keep the damp and dirt out (or in, depending on what kit you're using). A shoulder strap and long webbing grab handles make the mountain gear bag easy to carry, whether you're getting your ropes and climbing paraphernalia to the rock face or just ponying food supplies into camp.

Topo Designs founders Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen cut their adventuring teeth among the high plains, deep canyons and iconic mountains of Colorado. Growing up, they favoured simple, functional and durable kit – the kind of stuff made by genuine hikers, climbers and mountaineers in basement workshops. But somewhere along the way, as the gear world ballooned into a multi-million-dollar industry, they felt like the kit they were being offered had lost its authentic connection to the real world of outdoor adventure.
In 2008, Jedd and Mark set up Topo Designs to return to those roots. They started out making packs on a single sewing machine in a Fort Collins basement, and rapidly built a reputation for uncomplicated but stylish gear with outdoor-inspired design and urban utility. Today, their products are some of the most durable, versatile and good-looking crossover packs in the business – built for trailheads, urban adventures and globe-trotting travels.
They're also not afraid to tackle some of the gear industry's thornier issues head-on. Topo Designs are meticulous about their sourcing and manufacturing – using recycled fabrics, reducing water and energy usage, and seeking out more environmentally friendly processes and treatments. Several product lines are still made in their home state of Colorado, while their international partner factories conform to the exacting standards set by the Fair Wear Foundation.
