We just care that you experience the profound and personal joys of being outside. These feelings inspire everything we do: the gear we make, the innovations we pursue, the community we build, and the sustainable standards we follow. We’re made for the ride, hike, climb, and trip. Because regardless of location, going outside should be on your terms, and nobody else’s.

Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen always wished a company would make outdoor gear like the kind they grew up using — durable, functional, and classic. In 2008, Jedd bought a sewing machine and began sewing packs in his Fort Collins basement. Meanwhile, Mark went looking for resources and other Colorado folks who could bring those designs to life. From this creativity and community, Topo Designs was born.

We prioritize durability, versatility, and sustainability, using materials like organic cotton and recycled nylons, ensuring practicality while emphasizing ethical, eco-friendly manufacturing.

We reduce environmental impact by constantly improving what we build and how we operate.
