Staff Picks: Best Holiday Gifts for 2024

Staff Picks: Best Holiday Gifts for 2024

'Tis the season for cooler days, warmer bevs, layers on layers, and looking forward to spending good times with the ones we love. With the holidays coming up fast, we asked our crew what their current favorite Topo items are to make your holiday gifting simpler.

And… here's what we recommend:

Steve - Key Account Sales Representative

Pick: Global Briefcase

This is my go-to bag. I'm on the go a lot and this bag has been perfect. Crossbody or backpack — this bag just works. I also love that I can overstuff it and not have to worry about exploding the zippers.

Devon - Product Designer

Pick: Mountain Shirt Jacket

The Mountain Shirt Jacket is the perfect layer. It's not too heavy and not too light; it is literally the Goldilocks of jackets.

Nicole - Store Manager: Flagship, Base Camp, & Ft Collins

Pick: Utility Pants and Jacket

The Utility Pants and Jacket are my uniform for life. It's great to have clothes you can do anything in and still get a compliment on your pants at the coffee shop too.

Marley - Product Developer

Pick: Mountian Utility Tote

The Mountain Utility Tote is the perfect park bag... or at least George thinks so. Jackets, books, toys, and George. It carries it all.

Peter - Repairs

Pick: Rover Pack Classic

I know this bag inside and out and that’s why it's my favorite. Of all the bags that come in for repair, the Rover always has the best stories.

Adam - Brand Photographer and Videographer

Pick: Apex Global Travel Bag Roller

It’s a no brainer this is a great travel bag but I love using it as a camera bag. Roll it or wear it as a backpack there’s nothing it can't tackle.

Morgan - LA Store Manager

Pick: Summit Rise Full Zip Jacket

It’s super cozy, Zion is my favorite color and a great statement piece.

Tyler - Boston Store Manager

Pick: Global Jacket

I like that this jacket is waterproof and packable, but not bulky. It can be rolled up and tossed in a bag. When traveling, I fold the body of the jacket into the hood and use it as a travel pillow in a pinch!

Adrian - San Francisco Store Manager

Pick: Global Puffer Pullover

I like urban adventuring throughout SF. You need layers to do that and we do layers really well!
