Topo Designs · Commuter Backpack

The 15-inch in the morning, the gym kit in the evening: nothing gets mixed up.

Half past seven on a packed commuter train, and the Commuter Backpack sits flat against your back, the 15-inch in its padded sleeve, lunch in the second compartment. At the office, the two U-shaped zips open wide onto a bright yellow lining: you see everything, you empty nothing. In the evening, your gym kit takes the place of lunch, in 25 litres of water-repellent recycled nylon. A shower, yes; a whole day of rain, no.

Office · Commuting · City

Laptop, lunch and gym kit, each in its place.

To scale

49.5 cm tall: a 15-inch laptop stands upright, and so does an A4 sheet.

33 cm wide and 15.9 cm deep: on your back, it keeps the build of a city pack.

What fits inside

25L

25 litres in two compartments: packed without mixing everything up.

Two U-shaped zips open both compartments wide, lined in bright yellow: you spot what you're after straight away. Inside, patch and zipped pockets hold the small things. On the front, a large diagonal zipped pocket keeps your phone; on the sides, two stretch mesh pockets each take a water bottle.

  • A 15-inch laptop, in the padded sleeve
  • Charger and notebook, in the inside pockets
  • A water bottle in each mesh pocket

In the rain

A shower between the station and the office: water beads up on the fabric.

Not made for rain

Recycled nylon fabric

In steady rain, water eventually gets through: anything that mustn't get wet goes in a pouch.

Water-resistant

Water-resistant fabric

The water-resistant fabric copes with a shower; in steady rain, water eventually gets through.

Water-repellent

PFC-free water-repellent finish

A PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR) finish makes water bead up on the fabric. It doesn't make the bag waterproof: in steady rain, water eventually gets through.

Water-repellent, not waterproof: in steady rain, water eventually gets through.

A sewing machine in a Fort Collins basement, in 2008.

Since 2008

Jedd Rose buys a sewing machine and sews the first bags in his basement in Fort Collins, Colorado; Mark Hansen asks around for people who can make them.

Tough and simple

The two founders wanted gear like the kit they grew up with: tough, practical, classic, the opposite of throwaway and overcomplicated. The same bag goes from the city to the trail.

Guaranteed, repaired

Topo Designs guarantees its bags against defects in materials and workmanship for a reasonable lifetime, excluding normal wear, accidents and lack of care, and would rather repair than replace. For a bag bought from Eiken, the claim goes through us.

Eiken's take

Why we chose it
Two compartments that open wide, a lining where you can see everything and a sleeve for the 15-inch: the office day packed away, without cramming anything in.
Worth knowing
The sleeve takes most 15-inch laptops; for a 16-inch, the Klettersack has a sleeve made for it.
Who it's for
Laptop, lunch and gym kit in the morning, all found again in the evening without emptying the bag: the daily commute, not the trail.

Questions

What are the dimensions of the Commuter Backpack?

49.5 × 33 × 15.9 cm (height, width, depth), for 25 litres.

Is the Commuter Backpack waterproof?

It's water-repellent, not waterproof: a PFC-free DWR finish makes water bead up on the fabric. In steady rain, water eventually gets through.

What size laptop fits in the Commuter Backpack?

Most 15-inch laptops, in a padded sleeve.

Commuter Backpack or Global Briefcase?

The Commuter, 25 litres, is a proper backpack: two large compartments, a removable sternum strap, PFC-free water-repellent fabric. The Global Briefcase, 20 litres, is carried by hand, on the shoulder or on your back, its backpack straps stow away and it slides over a suitcase handle. Both take a 15-inch.

Does the Commuter Backpack fit in the cabin or under the seat?

As a cabin bag, its 49.5 × 33 × 15.9 cm fit within the 55 × 40 × 20 cm limit. Under the seat, at 49.5 cm tall it's over both easyJet's under-seat bag (45 × 36 × 20 cm) and Ryanair's (40 × 30 × 20 cm). Size limits checked in October 2026: check with your airline.
