## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   The bag looks good aesthetically and there are designs to choose from.
-   The bag is made of weather resistant, and durable materials which ensures the bag's longevity and protection for your stuff.
-   The large vertical exterior zippered pocket is convenient because it allows easy access to the main compartment without going through the lid and drawstring.

### Things to consider

-   The harness system might not be the most comfortable. It should be fine if you're not carrying it the bag full packed for a long time.
-   The laptop compartment can be pretty snug and the padding around it is minimal.

## What reviewers said

-   "This is my favorite backpack I’ve ever owned! I use it for several activities: travel, family hikes, picnics, long hikes in snow and rain, biking around town, and hauling mtb gear (including a helmet, gloves, knee pads, elbow pads, tools, two lights, snacks, and a camping blanket... so quite a bit). I love its durability, versatility, and stylRead more about review stating Best Backpack."
-   "One of the best-constructed bags I have ever owned. My favorite design feature is the extra-large bottle compartments were what won me over. As well as the G Clip closure. LOVE THE BAG SO MUCH!!"

## Reviews from around the web

**Topo Designs Mountain Pack Review**
[theairlandandsea.com](https://theairlandandsea.com/2019/03/topo-designs-mountain-pack-review.html)

> All in all this is a very understated but superbly designed and made backpack. It walks a very carefully thought out line between being practical for trails and hard wearing, with features for the airport and campus too. Its a bag for all occasions. Its packed with features and has loads of pockets and places to keep everything just where you want it.
