Every climber is a multitasker. Hiking steep slopes and scaling rock faces takes stamina, endurance, and precision. Climbing backpacks are convenient companions, so you can embrace Outside How You Decide. Topo Designs’ durable duffel bags and backpacks hold all kinds of climbing gear, so you can focus on safety and stability while enjoying those wide-open spaces.

When constructing our bold, multi-compartment backpacks, we considered which comfort features climbers want the most. Our climbing backpacks mesh back panels enhance airflow to eliminate that sticky, sweaty feeling. The RidgeBack™ molded back panel minimizes friction to avoid chafing as you move. The shoulder and compression straps help distribute cargo weight to ease the physical demands of the ascent and descent.

Tuck water bottles in the larger compartments to remain hydrated before, during, and after a climb. Keep your smartphone and navigation equipment in the smaller pockets so they don’t fall and break on your way to the top.

Our duffel bags are excellent for those who prefer an oversized tote silhouette. With top handles and crossbody straps, choose how you wear these versatile, sustainable bags throughout your excursion. Put the strap over your shoulder to free both hands to secure ropes and plan your next move. Use the top handles for a quick trip from your car to the rock-climbing gym.

Count on Topo Designs bag accessories to provide more storage options and easy access for an organized, customized climbing experience. Keep your climbing chalk handy in our pinchable chalk bag, which features a removable waist belt and loops for brushes and clip-on accessories
