Lightweight crossover pack for the trail or the city
This streamlined and mighty good-looking outdoor pack will go from the trailhead to the commute without missing a beat. Available in two sizes, this is the slightly smaller version. With a classic cinch top and lid closure, the 16-litre main compartment is perfect for your day-hiking gear – plus there's an external access laptop sleeve, quick-access lid compartment and a neat expandable dump pocket on the front for sandals, rain jackets or whatever. You've got two nice big water bottle pockets on each side, plus an internal sleeve for a laptop or hydration pouch (not at the same time, we would suggest). A padded back panel and contoured straps will ensure a comfortable carry all day long, while waist and sternum straps will keep everything nicely locked into place – whether you’re picking up the pace on the trail or zipping across town on your bike.

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.
