About Topo Designs
With roots in Colorado, Topo Designs has been crafting outdoor gear with a purpose for more than 15 years. Their mantra, “Outside doesn’t care how you get there. Neither do we,” says it all. They’re here for every trailhead, every city street, every road trip pit stop.
Topo Design’s style is instantly recognizable: bold color blocking that nods to vintage ski jackets, functional zippers that glide like butter and fabrics tough enough to take a few scuffs. Their packs, pouches and apparel are just as sharp on a mountain pass as they are on your daily commute.
And it’s not just about looking good — they’re committed to using sustainable materials like recycled ripstop nylon, so you can feel good about what you’re carrying and where it came from.
"We're thrilled to partner with OtterBox on this limited-edition collab," says Rick VanderLeek, Senior Manager of Brand Partnerships for Topo Designs. "As two Colorado companies at the intersection of outdoors and everyday life, we couldn't resist coming together for a collection that celebrates the getting out, the on-the-go, and the everyday. Whether your version of that is a 15-minute bike commute or a 15-mile backcountry hike."
