HAVEN'T RATED

Your school backpack grown up, while Topo Daypack has a simple two compartment design, the craftsmanship and materials are top notch. A fun mix of functionality and a style that’s very approachable. We can’t help but feel a vibe of Japanese influence and when I asked them about it, they admitted that they're fans of the way the Japanese take American products and put a spin on it. The bag measures 16 inches tall. Wearing it feels slightly larger than a normal Jansport backpack, but not at all uncomfortable or too large. It has a volume of just under 17 liters which is just perfect for a daypack, as far as we're concerned. If you take a look at the pictures, you’ll notice that it has a narrow rectangular shape. This means it’s great for hold flat and tall items (like legal documents, contracts, etc.) but not that great for bulky items like a basketball or boxes shaped like cubes.
