What is Topo Designs?
Topo Designs is a Colorado-based outdoor brand specializing in adventure packs, outdoor clothing, and practical accessories to help people embrace the great outdoors with a daily renewed sense of excitement and adventure.
Founded in 2008 by Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen, Topo Designs boasts several stores in Colorado, as well as California and Massachusetts, with wholesale opportunities that reach across the globe!
Jedd and Mark happily declare, “We’re made for the ride, hike, climb, and trip.” As such, they longed for an outdoor brand that featured much of the utility clothing and functional accessories that they grew up using. Luckily, that dream turned into a reality, and adventure-seekers all around the world now have the opportunity of partaking in that very same dream today.
What is Topo Designs' Philosophy?
Sporting a motto of “Outside how you decide,” Topo Design’s goal is to give every individual the tools necessary to living out all their outdoor adventures in a way that helps every person capitalize on their goals – and to have a fun time doing it, too!
Jedd and Mark say that, “going outside should be on your terms, and nobody else’s.” That’s why they decided to focus on outdoor products that help people like you live your best life, whether it’s in the mountains or forests, on lakes, rivers, oceans… you get the idea!
What Makes Topo Designs Stand Out As an Outdoor Brand?
There are many reasons why Topo Designs is a reputable brand that stands out in the crowd. Here are just a few of reasons we love them…
Durability
With a focus on product durability, Topo Designs has made a name for itself as a brand dedicated to making products that last, especially when the great outdoors are involved. Creating high-quality backpacks, clothing, and accessories that are made with lasting materials, and that are meant to stand the test of time, are what Topo Designs is all about.
Functionality & Practicality
Have you ever bought a utility backpack that just doesn’t have enough zippers, pockets, or is just an awkward size when it comes to storing all of your outdoor essentials in one convenient place? Look no further than the functional packs and clothing, as well as practical accessories, that Topo Designs creates. The goal is to help you live your best life outside, and that starts with the right kind of functional gear!
Topo Designs’ clothing and accessories serve a myriad of functions, from rock climbing, river rafting, hiking, or simply moving from one place to another. Every piece has been designed with an eye for practicality, meaning you won’t find a random, tiny pocket that doesn’t hold anything useful! Every design choice is made with a purpose, which you’ll find when selecting one of Topo Design’s iconic products.
Sustainability
Like many brands who are taking strides to reduce their environmental impact, Topo Designs is no exception. By constantly improving what they create and how they create it, Jedd and Mark have set the standard through ethical, eco-friendly manufacturing practices, as well as the use of recycled nylons and organic cotton when creating much of their clothing and accessories.
