Reviews

Amazing bag

"I purchased this bag plus the companion roller suitcase for commuting between Denver and Phoenix for work and absolutely love them. The global travel backpack holds a large amount of clothes, computer items, plus gear and yet remains very compact and easy to carry. The compartments and functionality are off the charts. This is an incredibly well thought out bag! The price is reasonable for the quality and much less than some bags I was looking at. Plus, the workmanship and materials are all top quality and very durable. All in all, a fantastic purchase."

— Ron T. (5/5)

Like a suitcase on your back!

"Love the clamshell opening for packing. Handles are awesome, padded and wid, not just straps. Maxes out the two bag carry on strategy. Another terrific Topo bag!"

— Matt (5/5)

This bag + a carry-on roller is the perfect combo!

"The number one reason that I wanted a new bag was having a luggage passthrough aka trolley sleeve so that it can just slide over the handle of my roller bag and not be on my back all the time. It's a game changer. I also wanted a backpack that allowed me to fit as much as possible while still fitting under the seat in front of me and a bag that opened up like a duffle so that I was not left playing jenga trying to get at something at the bottom of a backpack. This bag ticks all those boxes and looks good too. It's the perfect complement to my carry-on roller. I can now do week-long work trips without any added friction from my gear. 10/10, recommend."

ideal under the seat carry on bag

"about as large as a bag as you can get for under the seat to supplement a carry on roller or just go light for a weekend"

— Drew (5/5)

Quality Backpack but Uncomfortable

"The backpack is very high quality. It has a nice layout and is good for a weekend trip. The issue is the straps are very uncomfortable. It digs in your traps/shoulders. It only has a sternum strap and not a waist strap. I can’t wear it for too long. Hoping that it will break in and be more comfortable"

— Bruce (2/5)

Perfect Travel Bag

"This bag is an excellent travel bag. It's seperate compartments worked well for me, allowing me to seperate my clothes from my travel and work tech while still being accessible. Comfortable to carry and well built. Love the features."

— Daniel M. (5/5)

Best travel backpack ever!

"So far I have had the privilege of traveling Japan and Thailand with my Global Travel Backpack. Through every airport, cab, tuk-tuk, long boat, bus, train, and ferry; his backpack has held up incredibly. Carrying my drone, GoPro, chargers, toiletries, iPad, gaming laptop, and clothes has been effortless with this beast of a bag. Kudos to Topo for making a lightweight, durable, and pretty bag for me to travel with. You guys crushed it!"

— Cody L. (5/5)

"A bit on the small side in terms of how this fits on my back, but otherwise it's a great backpack for frequent travelers. Lots of different storage options and it seems like it's really well built."

— Jeremy (5/5)

Innovative design

"I can fit so much in this bag, and it is made with durable fabric and hardware. Can’t wait to take it traveling!"

— Carrie D. (5/5)

This is the travel pack I've been looking for for years!

"This pack is it. I've been looking for a travel pack to get me through weekend excursions and this is it. Great colorway. Great build quality. Great all around pack."
