Durable, Functional & Great For Travel - The Topo Designs Global Briefcase

[@guenterhaines8898]

I've had this bag for one month now and am loving it. Air travel non-stop during that period. I went with the all-black option to make it look more professional. It has a ton of storage capability without too much build in organization. I like how light weight it is. Accessory loops, handles, straps, zippers, and external pockets are all GREAT! I'm using/carrying it on the shoulder, but glad it has backpack straps. Using the straps at the bottom of the bag all the time for a cylinder work item I need to carry from time to time and/or a rain jacket. This bag has replaced my EDC Peak Design Messenger v2 due to its greater capacity, organization and flexibility. I am also using the Topo Tech Pouch which pairs perfectly with this bag and still leaves plenty of room inside the bag. Only two things I would change about this bag... 1. somehow add an external water bottle storage 2. add grip to the shoulder strap so it doesn't slide off my shoulder. Really digging this bag! Topo Designs strikes the right balance of form, function, and style for me.

Awesome review! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Nice write up. I went with the all black as well. Were you able to take this global briefcase as a personal item on your flights to stow under your seat?

Hi there, trying to decide whether to pull the trigger on this bag or not. Is it still holding up OK?

[@idrissamorehouse5776]

The thing i really love is the super chunky zippers that are a mainstay on all TOPO bags - the softened yellow interior has such a pleasant psychological impact with the red and blue contrast = Really goes to show the big impact you can achieve on the human brain with well placed small touches of color theory and shape :)

I know this video is old but I noticed that the main compartment that you have here is different from someone who has had a review 4 years ago. Yours seem to be an open compartment while the old video has an internal zipper/compartment style. Did Topo change their design? I actually prefer this colorway but not sure which is which.

[@coltonjohnson9629]

is it possible to cross one of the straps diagonally across the back and use this as a big sling?

[@A.K.Kopperud]

Very helpful video. I ended up ordering one and excited to put it into action.

[@RushfasterTV]

Thanks so much! We're excited for you to try it out. Please let us know how it works for you! Cheers!

[@liosanink]

Wish you gave more of your general opinion about it and how it felt to use. TOPO already make a walk through of the pockets and stuff, its good to have a little more of a review like pros and cons etc.

[@RushfasterTV]

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your suggestion for a more comprehensive review, including my general opinion and the overall user experience, as well as a breakdown of pros and cons.

Hello - can you please recommend a backpack for a mirrorless camera + everyday carry (laptop, tablet, water bottle, maybe a jacket, some snacks, books). Is there a backpack that has a dedicated SMALL space for one mirrorless camera with one lens attached (dedicated space that does not take up half of the backpack space). Love your thorough reviews - much appreciated!

I have a QWSTION Simple Office, which almost certainly was inspired by the Topo Global Briefcase. This bag comes with just one strap that can be used in multiple ways. Maybe you could compare the two?

[@jezaster1]

It's waterproof??

[@RushfasterTV]

it doesn't appear to be listed as waterproof bag😔

[@nathangriff6862]

Hi Ed. Love this Topo and the review! I wonder if Topo has one that is half this size for daily carry, too. BTW, I received a notification about being a winner in your home office giveaway from about a week ago. I'm wondering if that was true or if something is amiss here. Do you know anything about this? Thanks, either way.

[@RushfasterTV]

sorry that was spam

[@future_sos]

1:48, interesting. I thought those were compression straps based on another review

[@RushfasterTV]

Cool! Bottom compression straps that also serve as accessories straps :)

[@gandriollo]

Great review!

[@RushfasterTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I have used bags like this as my GO bags for years... I love having the extra space to throw in a couple of packing cubes if my one-day trip suddenly becomes 3-day... I do like the material choices Topo designs uses but I simply could never get past what I called the Lego look of the bright colors. This bag is subdued in color but that hideous white patch just catches my eye and I can't unsee it. Normally I choose function over aesthetics yet in this case no. Simply does not look professional.. Unless of course you work for Topo and you want to advertise a bag whilst running through the airport.

[@thineshkumar7360]

Those lego like colors is what makes Topo Design standout from the rest. It may not be favourable for some but at least it offers something unique and less bland like some other brands do.

[@damnjustassignmeone]

The conspicuous branding makes this a no go for me.

[@RushfasterTV]

We understand, branding can be a decisive factor. If you're looking for a more discreet option, there are plenty of alternatives to explore:)

[@liosanink]

Black version the logo is black barely see it

[@sweatervestguy]

Could do without the brand dropping of everything you have in your bag. I’m here for a bag review. Otherwise, good review.

[@microvizart]

The brand dropping are part of the sponsor of the channel. You don't think they do this full time for charity do you?

[@apmartini70]

Also, some folks want to know what the items are in case they are interested in purchasing them.

[@RushfasterTV]

We're all about what fits in the bag also.

[@e3vL1]

Seem overpriced. Huge product placement in front of bag

[@zeez9053]

F me get on with the review for crying out loud !
