A confession: I<\/span> love my bags<\/a>. A few years ago, I became convinced I’d found the best bag in the world<\/a>. Now, however, I may well have a contender for that coveted spot. It is the Mountain Cross Bag<\/a> from Topo Designs, and in just the two months I’ve been using it, this versatile carrier has become completely indispensable to me.<\/p>\n

WIRED readers will be familiar with Topo; they make our fave Global Briefcase<\/a> design, but personally it’s just a touch too large for me. If we’re going to start throwing around even consideration for \u201cbest bag in the world\u201d titles, then we’re talking parameters of Goldilocks-zone perfection here, surely? And this is where the Mountain Cross delivers. It is not too big and not too small. It is just right. No, really. Look at it. It’s 15 inches wide by 11.5 high and 4 deep. More than sufficient to hold a 15-inch laptop in a dedicated padded sleeve at the back.<\/p>\n

It has so many compartments that on first inspecting the Mountain Cross I thought I’d discovered all the zipped sections. No, there’s another. Oh, and another. And two exterior elasticated bottle holders as well. Apparently this thing can stow 17 liters of stuff. I suspect they’ve low-balled this figure.<\/p>\n
