THE EDC PACK IS BACK!

Seems like you just can’t run into a fellow EDC enthusiast these days without hearing something about the Topo Klettersack from Topo Designs. Needless to say, this baby is a hot ticket. It’s not the “hip” factor that keeps us intrigued, though. It’s the traditional yet modern aesthetic that makes this pack the perfect, refreshingly simple, well-made bag for everyday carry – durable, functional, no-frills, and ready to deliver an unmatched performance no matter what environment you find yourself in this daily journey we’ve come to know as “life”.

So where did this vintage, practical retro stunner of a throwback come from? Well, as it turns out, the word “klettersack” is actually German for “climbing bag”. As such, it’s no surprise that these bags were originally designed decades ago for fast and light Alpine-style mountaineering (minimalist albeit highly-functional) as opposed to Expedition mountaineering (the exact opposite).

Cut to present-day. The great folks over at Topo Designs, based in Denver, Colorado (Yeah, buddy! Made in the USA!), continue to bring their craftsmanship A-game to what has really become their flagship classic bag. What makes the bag truly unique is its versatility and chameleon-like flexibility, as it is truly ideal for any environment. Whether you’re headed across the street for a quick business meeting or across the country for your next day/week/month(s) hiking or camping expedition, the Klettersack from Topo Designs is your go-to bag.

Simply put, the Klettersack is a reliable addition to your growing everyday carry collection. It won’t let you down. We promise.

A quick glimpse at this sharp, gasp generator in black and you’ll be instantly picking up what we’re putting down.

THE BLACK TOPO KLETTERSACK FROM TOPO DESIGNS Topo Klettersack - Black

As we were saying, the classic Topo Designs Klettersack is the ultimate backpack for the daily haul, traveling, hiking, and more. It’s the bees knees for the Gallantry Man not interested in sacrificing style for functionality. And, while this timeless pack is definitely exceedingly handsome, no doubt, it’s also remarkably well-built, constructed from the signature “Topo DNA” thick materials responsible for its deserved sterling reputation.

With 1000D Cordura® nylon exterior fabric, a coated, waterproof, spacious pack cloth-lined interior, 100% natural leather square lash tabs, crisp drawstring closure (got to have that extra layer of protection to keep your gear dry), deep dual exterior pockets (perfect for water bottles, tripod legs, umbrellas, etc.), a zippered top pocket (the sweet spot for keys), an internal sleeve that fits nearly every 15” laptop out there, heavy-duty plastic hardware, and wide, no-nonsense cushioned mesh shoulder straps made from reinforced seatbelt webbing that provide superb high-abrasion resistance and superior comfort for long periods of time, this head-turning EDC carry-all is just what the doctor ordered.

With this killer pack, you can be rest assured that your gear will stay dry, even if your surroundings are anything but. Did we mention how easy it is to keep this pack looking brand new? A little soap and water does the trick like you wouldn’t believe.

Zac as Dean Whipple in At Any Price “Man, all I care about is my new Black Topo Klettersack from Topo Designs that I just got from Gallantry and America.”
- Dean Whipple, At Any Price (2012)

Some people prefer quality over quantity. Some prefer quantity over quality. With the Klettersack from Topo Designs, you get both. Whether you’re talking about the sack’s easy-to-grip YKK zippers (the paracord zipper pulls were originally developed for the military) that allow for super smooth opening and closing zip after unzip after zip, or the ergonomic chest strap that allows you to move freely while your bag stays put, nice, and steady, the benefits associated with the Klettersack are endless.

Another positive? These slim packs, true EDC classics, are tailored to last damn-near forever with slick leather components that age like a fine wine.

A Navy pack more your speed? We’ve got you’ve covered.

Just like the black sack, you’ll be able to fit all your essentials, from your laptop you’re the newest addition to your survival knife system, inside this beauty without having to worry about space running out. No bottom-heavy issues here!

The “boxy look” is intentional, a sign of the thoughtful engineering behind the pack. It’s what helps ensure the bag stays sag-free, even if it’s only half-full, not to mention what helps distribute the weight of all your favorite items. With the four compression straps, you’ll never have to worry about your EDC staples flying all over the place while you’re on the move. Who needs that stress? Not you!


“Please, Gallantry Man. I need you to take me to see your new Topo bag now.”
- Beth Clayton (Taylor Schilling), The Lucky One (2012)

Last, but not least, we’ve got this pack in a gorgeous olive.

“If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, kiddo, it’s this. Never, and I mean never, leave home without your Topo Klettersack from Gallantry.”
– Dick Kelly (Robert De Niro), Dirty Grandpa (2016)

Still on the fence? Get ready to hop off, because we still haven’t mentioned how this bag’s smart toploading design allows you to fit items that are actually larger than the actual bag itself inside. Pretty cool, right?

Yeah, this sack is definitely one you’ve just got to have if you’re a Gallantry man looking to handle your business and get things done your way.

The bottom line is this. If your old bag is looking a little shabby, now is the time for an upgrade. Once you’ve replaced that old thing with this sharp shooter, all we can is prepare for the incoming compliments, because they’re about to be headed your way.

What can we say? Sorry we’re not sorry. Having one of these tough-as-nails everyday carry sacks snugged nice and close on your back will have you looking like the money.

“Alright, brah. Last one to the marsh has to buy first place a new Topo Klettersack from Gallantry.”
– Dave Stangle to Mike Stangle (Adam DeVine) in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016)
