Bike panniers are great, but they can be overkill if you're only carrying a few small essentials. As an alternative, why not try this triangular bike bag from Topo Designs? Spacious enough for a lightweight layer, a few tools or a packed lunch, this useful little pouch attaches securely to your handlebars with three Velcro loops. It's constructed in tough recycled nylon, with a waterproof vinyl liner that's made out of old truck tarps. You've also got handy daisy chain webbing for attaching lights and other bits, plus you can convert it into a dinky sling bag using the removable shoulder strap.
Topo Designs founders Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen cut their adventuring teeth among the high plains, deep canyons and iconic mountains of Colorado. Growing up, they favoured simple, functional and durable kit – the kind of stuff made by genuine hikers, climbers and mountaineers in basement workshops. But somewhere along the way, as the gear world ballooned into a multi-million-dollar industry, they felt like the kit they were being offered had lost its authentic connection to the real world of outdoor adventure.
In 2008, Jedd and Mark set up Topo Designs to return to those roots. They started out making packs on a single sewing machine in a Fort Collins basement, and rapidly built a reputation for uncomplicated but stylish gear with outdoor-inspired design and urban utility. Today, their products are some of the most durable, versatile and good-looking crossover packs in the business – built for trailheads, urban adventures and globe-trotting travels.
They're also not afraid to tackle some of the gear industry's thornier issues head-on. Topo Designs are meticulous about their sourcing and manufacturing – using recycled fabrics, reducing water and energy usage, and seeking out more environmentally friendly processes and treatments. Several product lines are still made in their home state of Colorado, while their international partner factories conform to the exacting standards set by the Fair Wear Foundation.
