Reviews

Teachers Best Friend!

"As a teacher, I’m always looking for a bag that can keep up with my busy school day, and my new TOPO bag has been a great find! It has plenty of room for the things I need without being overly bulky, and the compartments make it easy to keep everything organized. I can easily carry my laptop, charger, classroom essentials, notebooks, and other daily items while still looking professional. It’s comfortable to carry and has quickly become my go-to work bag. If you’re a teacher looking for a practical, stylish, and well-organized bag for school, I definitely recommend this TOPO bag!"

Topo Designs Did It Again

"I’ll admit it—I’m a bag guy, and I probably own more bags than I actually need. But the Mountain Cross Bag has quickly become one of my favorites. What really sold me is the organization. There’s plenty of room for my everyday essentials without the bag feeling oversized or bulky, and the different compartments make it easy to keep everything organized instead of digging around for what I need. The design is classic Topo: rugged, clean, functional, and just different enough to stand out. It works equally well as an everyday carry, work bag, or travel bag, which is exactly what I was looking for. The build quality feels excellent, and it’s one of those bags that looks even better in person. If you’re someone who appreciates a well-designed bag with plenty of organization but doesn’t want to carry a huge backpack or briefcase everywhere, this one hits the sweet spot. Another Topo bag I definitely didn’t need… but I’m very glad I bought."

Great travel bag

"This bag is nicely designed for travel. It holds a lot yet isn't big or bulky. Its multiple compartments and pockets kept me organized going through security and check-in, and its size and set-up made it easy to manage in flight. No wrestling with the pass-through panel, also appreciated. Skinny water bottles fit fine in the side pockets. Straps and handles were also seamlessly functional. Plus, it's cheerful to have some color (grid very peri) for me. I was eyeing other bags and they were all so somber and serious. Not mine!"

Caroline S. (5/5)

"Extremely poor packaging. The bag was shipped in a thin plastic mailer with only anoyher thin layer of plastic to protect it. The bag arrived with scuffs to the plastic straps. Dont buy directly from this store if you want your item undamaged."

Joel (1/5)

Perfect for weekly travel ✈️

"Perfect bag for my carry on items and fits nicely under the seat in front of me on the plane, and with room for my feet as well. If it was 1” wider I could fit my big ass laptop, but I knew when I bought it that it wouldn’t."

Ben H. (5/5)

Instant daily use bag

"Initially bought this for a trip so I could have a smaller bag to fit on top of my global roller and absolutely loved it. First thing I did when I got back was transfer everything into this bag and it became my daily bag without question. Easy access, very comfortable strap and room for everything."

Scott (5/5)

Quickly became my favorite & daily bag

"Bought this for a trip to stack on my global roller and it ended up replacing my backpack I use daily. Strap is very comfortable, there’s enough sections to keep things divided & storage is so much more than it seemed in the photos. Laptop area could use a tiny bit more padding if I was being picky but I would recommend this to anyone."

Scott (5/5)

Mountain Bag for Commuting

"Love it. The pockets are the perfect size and placement for my notebook, laptop, commuting book, and lunch. I wish I got this for the office sooner."

Bryan S. (5/5)

Love the design and

"Love the design and colors! Super comfortable strap and just the right size to carry everything for work. I found the straps on the bottom carry my oversized water bottle as well, nice little bonus!"

Travis (5/5)

Perfect for everyday

"I carry a variety of things daily—no computer, but I carry an iPad, battery backup for my phone, notebooks and pens, a book or two, and meds always. This bag holds them all (and then some) carries really comfortably, and remains light and nimble. I love it"
