Global Travel Backpack – Compact, Tough & Adventure-Ready
From red-eye flights to weekend escapes, the Global Travel Backpack by Topo Designs is your one-bag solution for life on the move. With 28 liters of expandable storage, a padded laptop compartment, and multiple grab handles, this carry-on keeps your essentials organized and close at hand. Built from 100% recycled ripstop nylon with a PFC-free water-resistant finish, it’s tough enough for airport chaos and trail dust alike — all while keeping a clean, minimalist look.
Who’s it for?
Digital nomads, business travelers, weekend explorers, and urban commuters who want a carry-on backpack that blends sleek design, rugged durability, and smart travel features. If you’re done juggling duffels and rolling suitcases, this is your go-to pack.


Why It Stands Out
- ✔️ Expandable 28L capacity: smart design adapts to longer or shorter missions
- ✔️ Travel-smart details: front zip pocket, side slip pocket, interior divider, and multiple attachment loops
- ✔️ Tech-ready: padded laptop compartment fits up to 15"
- ✔️ Carry-anywhere comfort: adjustable sternum strap, load lifters, plus grab handles on all sides
- ✔️ Eco-conscious build: recycled ripstop nylon, Fair Trade Certified™ factory, PFC-free water resistance
Why You’ll Love It
- Sized right for airline cabins, with trolley sleeve compatibility
- Keeps gear accessible thanks to dual-zip opening and interior organization
- Durable YKK zippers and reinforced stitching mean it’s built to last
