Colorado-based Topo Designs had one word in mind when they created the Core Pack: versatility. The Core Pack marries hard-wearing construction with modern styling and looks at home on the street or the trail.
The 25 L capacity main compartment allows for easy access with its clamshell opening, and the padded laptop compartment does double duty as a hydration bladder sleeve. Side pockets for storing your water bottle or umbrella lay flat when not in use, a thoughtful design element that eliminates the bulky elastic that typically interrupts the lines and adds bulk to other bags. A large vertical zippered front pocket offers an organization panel to keep your most-used items within reach, and a small external stow pocket provides additional quick-access storage.
Made of 1000D Nylon with a 210D cloth liner, the 18” x 13” x 6” pack has room for just about everything without any of the bulk. Available in black and olive. – $119
