I ’m very particular when it comes to luggage . And that probably explain why I have a whole closet full of baggage in all physique and sizes , from compact carry - ons to tumbler bags to snowboard toter .
Though every bag has a purpose , I usually witness myself gravitate to the unity that can multitask on my traveling . They ’re the ones I keep at middle level , within easy range , and usually have a sack pre - filled with first aid , business sector cards , Garden Betty stickers , and other thing I always like to have on hand . And one of those bag has so far been getting the most milage this year : the Klettersack by Topo Designs .
Aside from its retro good tone , the Klettersack is a workhorse . It ’s trip yard of land mile with me since Topo intent first send off it to me in April : first to El Salvador , where it spend a workweek on the black sand beach as I surfed … to Point Reyes , where I stuff it with widget for a employment trip … to Big Sur , where it hauled all my train for hike along the tough coast … to Sequoia National Park , where it camp amid the refined whale … and at long last , to the top of a granite dome overlooking the neat Western Divide . This retiring hammock got around . It was equally comfortable as a carry - on as it was a daypack .
These days , it seems backpacks are fit with all variety of gimmicks : special pockets and loop , hidden compartment and iPod holders , thises and that s. TheKlettersackkeeps it simple . deep down is a spacious main compartment with a laptop sleeve , and outside you get a zippered top flap and two side pockets .
you may lay in ( and regain ) everything easy with this setup , and the bag is built to last .
Where is it built ? In thegood old US of A — right on in Colorado in fact , in a LEED - evidence building with , as they say on their website , an “ awe-inspiring view of the Rocky Mountains . ” As an outside - oriented caller , I wish the fact they do all the things their customers do , from hiking and biking to hunting and fishing . They are their own gear testers , so they know what they want , need , and like . And that so happens to be what I want , demand , and like … and maybe you , too !
