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."

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)

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 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"

Sharon Z. (5/5)

I'm not cross with the Mountain Cross Bag!

"Regulation legal pads and even file folders fit perfectly into this thing, The Mountain Cross is such a great alternative to a "conventional" briefcase--no sharp edges, clumsy, unforgiving rigidness, etc. The bag DOES have just enough padding to be sufficiently structured, and dynamic color choices just make it FUN! Stretch pockets at the ends hold 16 oz water bottles. A lightweight alternative to the office black box."

JOHN G. (5/5)

Order cancelled by Topo

"This bag was on back order. So I clicked the "notify me" button. That's cool. So they notified me that it was off back order and I ordered the bag. Nothing happened for about 10 days. Then I get an email that says "your order is cancelled". No explanation, nothing. I check back on the website and the bag is available to order. Totally disappointing experience. Taking my money elsewhere."
