Topo Designs has reimagined a relationship to nature in their vision of the New Outdoor, a more accessible, approachable, and sustainable space for all.
Founders Jedd Rose and Mark Hansen both grew up spending, and loving, time outdoors. They experienced the divide that happens when an emphasis on specialized, technical gear becomes the focus instead of the actual experience of being in nature. This led to their Topo Designs, and creating products that just make sense, from their timeless, versatile design to their durability. They work to help you navigate and connect to your environment more easily, and to not get caught up in technicalities. Not just built for visiting with nature, but also for protecting it, Topo Designs has integrated sustainability in every step of their supply chain. In their own words, they approach sustainability “as a way to design life, rather than an isolated initiative or short-term fix”. It’s refreshing to have a brand not just design products to go outdoors, but to protect the outdoors, too. |

Their sustainable design strategies include everything from raw materials to production processes. They currently work with recycled wool and 100% organic cotton raw materials. Their goal is to move towards entirely recycled materials for all products within five years. They also work to reduce waste, harmful chemical use and energy consumption at each step in production.
Another piece of Topo Designs’ commitment to sustainability lies in the fact that they truly do make products that are made to be used and made to last. The brand doesn’t just ask you to trust them on the durability of their products, they offer lifetime warranties (see specifics here) to prove that they really stand behind the quality of their products. They also extend a repair service to those who fall outside of the warranty in order to extend the life of their products, proving their commitment to helping reduce waste and encourage longevity. Topo Designs has the values that any outdoor company should aim to embody, and the products and processes to match. We’re proud to have them on our shelves and excited to highlight their amazing selection! Shop Topo Designs |
