Topo Designs Daypack Tech - Black - One Size

Really sturdy backpack with lots of room and plenty of features. Goes really well with other Topo Design bags.

This minimalist backpack is built like a tank. Being the Tech version, its one solid color gives it a sleek urban style look. I use this pack when I'm suited up. Compared to similar more expensive packs like GoRuck's Bullet Pack, these packs are a steal. I can't recommend it enough. Thank you, TD.

High quality at a budget price, size is somewhat deceiving on the pictures.

Great pack. A bit skinny but works perfect

Great size for work stuff

Well made, sturdy, great all around work and lifestyle backpack. My only issue is lack of internal compartments or organization for things like phone/wallet/keys while traveling.

I wanted to write a review since there really aren't many to find and it definitely would have helped when making my decision on this pack. I was looking for a basic commuter bag to get me to and from work. The pros: 1.) This bag has a super sleek look and feel to it. It seriously looks amazingly thin on your back, which is something that I absolutely love (hate bags that are super bulky). The backpack admittedly doesn't "wow" you out of the box as it lays flat (a plus for packing it, though), but once you pack it out it looks great! 2.) Holds everything that I need. I admittedly don't carry a lot: my lunch (which is about 4-5 pieces of medium tupperware), my kindle/a book, a couple of water bottles, a sweater/light jacket, and some other daily odds and ends. It fits all of this easily. I do not carry a laptop every day, but the outside compartment easily fit my 13" Macbook air. 3.) Have only been carrying for a few days, but the feel on my back is pretty great. The ridgeback has a really nice padding to it and the mesh on the straps is quality. All in all, very comfortable. 4.) The pull tabs to help open the zippers are amazing - seriously, why don't all backpacks have those?! You can tell that the zippers are incredibly well built and there is also a water-resistant type coating/plastic that runs along the full zipper as well. 5.) Water bottle pockets are solid with the added stretch material. I don't have huge water bottles, but sure that you could fit a Nalgene in there easy. 6.) Sits up really well on its own. The inner bright yellow lining/material is great too to track down your stuff inside of the bag. The cons: 1.) As said in other reviews, there is absolutely no internal organization, but at this point you know that this is what you are getting with this bag, so no complaints on my part. 2.) If you are looking for even the slightest bit of a "pop" in the color department, this isn't the bag for you (go with the classic). I am planning on getting a colorful caribeaner and maybe even switch out the pull cords to give it a bit more color. 3.) It is difficult to get anything out of the bag without fully taking it out off of your back: water bottles, something in the front compartment, etc. will require you to swing the bag around and likely take it off your back entirely to have access. 4.) While the material seems great and incredibly sturdy, it does seem to pick up pet hair a bit. 5.) Fitting a larger laptop in the outside compartment is tricky! Trying to get my thicker Dell 14" work laptop into the outer compartment was a struggle to say the least. I would say a slim 13" laptop is an ideal size for that outside compartment and I haven't even tried it with a laptop sleeve. Wish I could upload some pictures, but there doesn't seem to be an option to. All in all, I am very happy with the bag so far and look forward to using it.

Great material, I still have it after two years
