The little Mini Mountain Bag usually stays packed all the time. When I travel, I use the Topo Daypack to carry my computer and then use it for everything else once I get where I’m going. I use this bag as my everyday carry-all bag. With no dividers or padding, I make small pouches to carry all my cameras in, but packed carefully they’ve traveled across the country just fine. I load it up pretty heavy to travel and it’s surprising how much I can fit in it. The Topo Mini Mountain Bag is wide enough to sit flat without tipping over and it will swallow just about anything that will fit. It’s smooth and simple like the rest of the bag. I love that the Topo bag strap slips over my shoulder and allows me to swing or slide the bag around without it catching or snagging on my clothes. This bag, with it’s simple and unadorned no-grip strap, has showed me how stupid all those other bags are. I’ve got lots of bags with some sort of rubbery, grippy stripes or patch on the strap to keep it from slipping around. The interior is bright orange vinyl truck tarp liner, and after a year of use it’s showing almost no wear. I’ve created a video of this bag – just to have a bit more interactive walk through and demonstration of what I typically carry in the bag. It won’t hold a laptop and it doesn’t have a padded compartment for one. The description on the Topo Designs site calls the Mini Mountain Bag 15″ x 8″ x 5″. Of course most photos I have of the Topo Designs Daypack someone else is wearing it… The Topo Designs Mini Mountain Bag is another example of the same. It’s a great example of Topo Designs’ quality and functionality. I’ve used the Topo Daypack for travel, for trail-running, and for getting groceries. I also have the Topo Designs Field Bag, and I use it as a great little camera bag. I’ve been using a Topo Designs Daypack for about 18 months and find it to be one of the better daypacks I’ve used in years. To say I’ve used this bag almost exclusively for the last year is a real compliment to just how useful it is. I tend to cycle through bags regularly, and change my main bag often. I (we – my wife is not guilt-free here) have a closet full of nothing except bags. I have too many shoes, cameras, and jackets as well, but I really have too many bags. I really like a lot of things, but bags are way up at the top of the list. I’ve owned the Topo Designs Mini Mountain Bag for a little over a year now, and it’s become my most-used and most-loved bag of the last several years.
