Topo Designs Global Travel Bag Review: Up For Any Adventure

Updated on August 20, 2024 by Sheri Frederito · Product Reviews

Are you an adventure seeker looking for a bag as rugged as your travel? Read on to see if the Topo Designs Global travel bag lives up to the hype.

Finding the perfect travel bag is akin to discovering a rare hidden gem. Some travel calls for a sturdy carry-on and other times, you need a trusty bag that you know fares well on adventure. 

If you read my Carl Friedrick Carry-On X review , you’ll know I am notorious for overpacking. This means finding a bag that accommodates my over-preparedness while fitting in the overhead bin is always challenging.

When Topo Designs graciously offered The Modest Man their Global Travel Bag to sample, I gleefully accepted. It was perfect timing, too, as my latest travels took me camping on the California coast for a week.

I put the Topo Designs Global Travel Bag Roller up to the test. Are you wondering how it did? Read on to see if it ranks as a travel bag favorite or if it’s just more extra baggage.

Table of Contents

Topo Designs’ Basement Beginnings

Before we dive into the review, let’s chat about Topo Designs’ humble beginnings. 

The brand began in 2008 in a basement in Fort Collins, Colorado. Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen desired outdoor goods that were durable, functional, and classic. Rose purchased a sewing machine and began creating packs in his basement.

The duo’s founding mission is rooted “with the fundamental belief that everyone experiences the outdoors differently. [They] want to get everyone outside without feeling encumbered by the traditional notions that hold them back.”

As a result, they create travel bags, packs, accessories and clothes for both men and women. Durability and sustainability are at the core of their creations. The brand uses organic cotton and recycled nylon to create ethical and eco-friendly products.

My Global Travel Bag Roller First Impressions

Upon opening the box, I was pleasantly surprised by the color combination and size of the bag. I chose the bag in the Bone White/Olive color combination. 

I traditionally opt for neutrals , but I wanted something that (slightly) stood out of the crowd. This color combo is wonderfully neutral, and the blue accents contrast nicely. 

The bag was also surprisingly flat. I wasn’t sure it would hold a week’s worth of clothes for my camping trip, but I’m an optimist, so I would try to make it work anyway. 

I also liked the various carry options. You can extend the telescoping suitcase handle to roll it along. By the way, the wheels look and feel super sturdy. Or, use one of the three side/top handles to carry it as you would a briefcase. 

My favorite option is the backpack carry. 

Yes, this bag has stowable backpack straps so that you can toss it on your back as a hands-free option. 

However, it’s important to note that if you are of modest height, you might find the bag to be a bit long on your back. It’s 21” long, and I’m 5’6”, so it felt a bit long to carry on my back. I am also a toddler’s parent; therefore, the hands-free option is a no-brainer, regardless of size.

Last, Topo Designs constructs the front of the bag with sturdy, rugged recycled nylon. However, the back of the bag is made from recycled plastic. This gives you a lightweight and flexible bag that retains its shape.

Packing The Global Travel Bag: So Much Room For Activities

Don’t be fooled by the Global Travel Bag Roller’s size. It packs shockingly well. After all, Topo designs the bag with SO many pockets, almost forcing you to become organized. 

I also appreciated the high-visibility liner. Trust me, you’re not losing anything in this bag!

You’ll find a zippered laptop pocket in the padded exterior pocket or a pocket for travel docs if you prefer. There are also two drop-in pockets. 

Inside, you’ll find two internal compartments. The first compartment has two zippered mesh pockets and a nylon zippered pocket. Unzip the first compartment to see the main packing area. Personally, I liked that the main compartment closes with a zipper as it acts like a large pack bag. 

I could pack a whole week’s worth of clothes in this bag, though there wasn’t much room left over. Here’s everything I took with me:

• Ten shirts (both short and long sleeves)
• Two sweatshirts
• A hooded flannel button-up
• One set of pajamas
• One pair of shorts
• Eight pairs of pants
• Undergarments packed into the Topo Designs 10L Pack Bag
• A corduroy baseball cap
• Toiletries packed into a Topo Designs Dopp Kit
• Two pairs of shoes

Yes, I know that’s a lot. Obviously, I haven’t learned my lesson, and I am still an overpacker. However, everything fits perfectly into the Global Travel Bag Roller .

Sadly, I think I could have packed more (even if I didn’t need more) if I had additional pack bags. 

The roller might be too big for your needs if you are a minimalist when packing or traveling . Instead, you could opt for the slightly smaller Global Travel Bag 40L or the Global Travel Bag 30L . Suffice it to say Topo Designs has a bag for almost all of your travel needs.

Topo Designs Dopp Kit and 10L Pack Bag

Topo Designs also sent their Dopp Kit and 10L Pack Bag along with the travel roller. 

I’ve already mentioned that the travel roller has plenty of organization, but I really liked the Pack Bag. It’s perfect for things like undergarments and even shoes to ensure your clothes don’t get dirty. Or, tuck one away to pack your dirty clothes for the trip home. 

There are a plethora of uses for the Topo Designs Pack Bags, so I highly recommend adding one to your shopping cart. 

I kept undergarments in mine, and there was plenty of room for socks, underwear, and more. In fact, I think these things would have fit perfectly fine in the 5L Pack Bag . Unfortunately, it was out of stock when I placed my order. 

The 5L Pack Bag measures 7”h x 3”d x 10”w, while the 10L is 14”h x 3”d x 10”w.

The Dopp Kit also had plenty of room for everything I needed to bring, with extra space. I was able to pack the following in my Dopp Kit :

• Toothbrush and travel-size toothpaste
• Travel-size shampoo and conditioner
• Travel containers with face wash, moisturizer, and lotion
• Travel-size contact solution and a week’s worth of disposable contacts
• Eyeglasses and case
• Retainer case
• Deodorant 

The Topo Designs Dopp Kit features a triangular design that allows the bag to stand upright. It’s constructed of recycled nylon, similar to the travel bag and easy to clean. 

The Dopp Kit measures 5.5”h x 5.5”d x 11”w. It’s not a giant bag by any means, but it feels incredibly roomy. 

Topo Designs Global Travel Bag Roller Specs

By now, you should know that I absolutely love the Topo Designs Global Travel Bag Roller. If you’re not entirely convinced yet, here are a few additional specs and features to entice you. 

• PackFast Attachment Clips
• Heavy-duty YKK zippers w/security loops
• External stabilizer bar
• Crush-proof wheels
• Sustainable yet sturdy, recycled nylons and PC plastic

The Global Travel Bag Roller measures 13.5”w x 21”h x 9”d. 

Yes, you read that right. I could pack everything I mentioned in a 9” in-depth unpacked bag. 

This bag also weighs 6.6 pounds unpacked. 

Should You Go All In With A Topo Designs Global Travel Bag Roller?

The answer is a resounding yes if you need something outdoorsy, rugged and sustainably made. You should definitely add the Topo Designs Global Travel Bag Roller to your luggage rotation. 

Other than the length of the bag in backpack mode, there isn’t anything negative to say about it. 

While it could replace a hardshell carry-on luggage, I don’t know if I would. I would be concerned about how it would fare checked-in should you need to. 

At the very least, it would likely get dirty from handling and airplane luggage storage. There’s a time and place for both so if you have the space in your home, I’d definitely keep both. 

Without a doubt, this bag does exactly what it’s intended to — make one bag travel as easy as possible!

What’s your go-to travel bag? Let us know in the comments below.

Mpox: What you need to know about the latest public health emergency

Facebook Twitter Print Email

The swift spread of a new virulent strain of the mpox virus across Africa triggered the World Health Organization (WHO) to  declare it once again a public health emergency of international concern last week.

But, what is it, where did it come from and how can the world deal with the threat, which inevitably raises the spectre of pandemics past such as COVID-19 and the early spread of HIV infections?

Here’s what you need to know:

What is mpox?

Formerly known as monkeypox, the viral disease can spread between people, mainly through close contact, and occasionally from the environment to people via objects and surfaces that have been touched by a person with mpox.

Originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1970, mpox was neglected there, according to WHO .

“It is time to act decisively to prevent history from repeating itself,” said Dimie Ogoina, who chairs the  International Health Regulations’ Emergency Committee , which advises WHO on such matters.

Endemic in central and West Africa, the infectious disease later caused a global outbreak in 2022, leading to a WHO public health emergency in July as it became a multi-country outbreak.

Following a series of consultations with global experts, WHO has begun using a new preferred term “mpox” as a synonym for monkeypox. Find out more about that decision here .

What are the symptoms?

Common symptoms of mpox include a rash lasting for two to four weeks, which may be started with or followed by fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, low energy and swollen lymph nodes.

The rash looks like blisters and can affect the face, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, groin, genital and/or anal regions, mouth, throat or the eyes. The number of sores can range from one to several thousand.

People with mpox are considered infectious at least until all their blisters have crusted over, the scabs have fallen off and a new layer of skin has formed underneath, and all lesions on the eyes and in the body have healed. Typically this takes two to four weeks. Reports show that people can be re-infected after they’ve had mpox.

People with severe mpox may require hospitalisation, supportive care and antiviral medicines to reduce the severity of lesions and shorten time to recovery.

How does mpox spread?

Human to human: Touching, sex and talking or breathing close to someone with mpox can generate infectious respiratory particles, but more research is needed on how the virus spreads during outbreaks in different settings and conditions, says WHO.

What scientists do know is that it is also possible for the virus to persist for some time on clothing, bedding, towels, objects, electronics and surfaces that have been touched by a person with mpox. Someone else who is in contact with these items may become infected without first washing their hands before touching their eyes, nose and mouth.

The virus can also spread during pregnancy to the fetus, during or after birth through skin-to-skin contact, or from a parent with mpox to an infant or child during close contact.

Although getting mpox from someone who is asymptomatic has been reported, there is still limited information on whether the virus can be transmitted from someone with the virus before they get symptoms or after their lesions have healed.

Humans to animals: Since many species of animals are known to be susceptible to the virus, there is the potential for spillback of the virus from humans to animals in different settings.

People who have confirmed or suspected mpox should avoid close physical contact with animals, including such pets as cats, dogs, hamsters and gerbils, as well as livestock and wildlife.

Animals to humans: Someone who comes into physical contact with an animal which carries the virus, such as some species of monkey - or a terrestrial rodent like a tree squirrel - may also develop mpox. Such exposure can occur through bites or scratches, or during activities such as hunting, skinning, trapping or preparing a meal. The virus can also be caught through eating contaminated meat which is not cooked thoroughly.

Can it be fatal?

Yes, for a small minority. Between 0.1 per cent and 10 per cent of people who have become infected with mpox, have died.

It is important to note that death rates in different settings may differ due to several factors, such as access to health care and underlying immunosuppression, including because of undiagnosed HIV or advanced HIV, according to the UN health agency.

In most cases, the symptoms of mpox go away on their own within a few weeks with supportive care, such as medication for pain or fever, but, in some people, the illness can be severe or lead to complications and eventual death.

Newborn babies, children, people who are pregnant and people with underlying immune deficiencies - such as from advanced HIV - may be at higher risk of more serious mpox disease and death.

Is there a vaccine?

Yes. The UN health agency recommends several vaccines for use against mpox. However, mass vaccination, which rolled out during the COVID-19 global pandemic, is not currently recommended.

Many years of research have led to the development of newer and safer vaccines for the now eradicated disease smallpox. Some of these vaccines have been approved in various countries for use against mpox.

At present, WHO recommends use of MVA-BN or LC16 vaccines, or the ACAM2000 vaccine when the others are not available.

Only people who are at risk of exposure to mpox should be considered for vaccination, according to WHO. Travellers who may be at risk based on an individual risk assessment with their healthcare provider, may wish to consider vaccination.

How can you prevent mpox?

Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces or objects and cleaning your hands after touching surfaces or objects that may be contaminated can help prevent transmission.

The risk of getting mpox from animals can be reduced by avoiding unprotected contact with wild animals, especially those that are sick or dead, including their meat and blood.

In countries where animals carry the virus, any food containing animal parts or meat should be cooked thoroughly before eating.
