I've always been a fan of big bags. Something you can stuff a lot of... well... stuff into. Zippered pockets and separate sections on the inside of backpacks and bags can be cool, but sometimes what you really need is just an oversized sack of sorts. And so I was super stoked when I saw Topo Designs new Cinch Tote ($89), a tall 1000d Cordura creation featuring natural leather lash tabs, long nylon handles, a removable shoulder strap and pack cloth interior. There's a small zippered pocket on the front of the tote, as well as a wide sleeve-style pocket behind it. The top of the tote can be cinched shut to keep your shit secure, or you can stuff it inside to make everything easy to access. Like all of their equipment, the Cinch Tote is made in Topo Designs LEED certified building in Denver, Colorado. And for just $89, the Cinch Tote (which is available in four different color combos, btw) is a perfect replacement for that tattered old grocery tote you keep in the trunk of your car, or an excellent alternative to that big backpack you bring with you every weekend.
The Cinch Tote is available in Turquoise/Red, Olive/Teal, Teal/Navy, Duck Camo/Orange colorways.
The Topo Designs Cinch Tote measures 16.5″h x 11″w x 6″d
Optional Accessory Straps fit through the leather lash tab allowing you to carry a little extra.
Metal d-ring on either side of the tote all you to connect the supplied shoulder strap.
The Cinch Tote is lined with a water-resistant nylon pack cloth material.
YKK zippers keep things secure.
All of their bags and accessories are handmade in an LEED certified building in Denver, Colorado.
