Topo Designs may just make the best bags in the world. The Denver-based gorpcore brand sells gear that looks cool, lasts forever, and has every feature a sensible person desires in a bag without making the product feel overbuilt. If I ever win the lottery, I won’t tell anyone, but there will be signs—like me hauling groceries from Trader Joe’s in two Mountain Gear bags. (I currently use blue polypropylene Ikea bags and shop at Aldi.) Topo Designs 可能制造了世界上最好的包袋。这个总部位于丹佛的“山系户外”（gorpcore）品牌所售装备不仅外观酷炫、经久耐用，还具备了理性消费者对包袋的所有需求，且不会让人觉得设计过剩。如果我中了彩票，我不会告诉任何人，但会有迹象表明——比如我提着两个 Mountain Gear 的包从 Trader Joe’s 超市采购归来。（目前我用的是宜家的蓝色聚丙烯购物袋，并且在 Aldi 超市购物。）
In March, I took a spring break trip to Ireland and Scotland with a carry-on-sized roller bag and the Topo Designs Rover Trail pack as my personal item. I am frequently testing new bags, and I didn’t think much about the decision to commit to the Rover for a week. I quickly learned that you get to know a bag pretty well when you take it on seven flights and stay at eight different hotels in 10 days. By the time I landed back home, I was fully convinced the Rover is the best backpack I have ever used. 今年三月，我利用春假前往爱尔兰和苏格兰旅行，带了一个登机箱，并将 Topo Designs Rover Trail 背包作为我的随身个人物品。我经常测试新包，当时并没有多想就决定带着 Rover 出行一周。我很快发现，当你在 10 天内乘坐 7 次航班并入住 8 家不同的酒店时，你就能非常透彻地了解一个包。当我回到家时，我已完全确信 Rover 是我用过最好的背包。
Like the six or seven other models of Topo Designs bags I’ve tested—and maybe more extensively than any of the others—the Rover manages to artfully incorporate all the thoughtful little features I appreciated in other backpacks without even a hint of showiness. 就像我测试过的其他六七款 Topo Designs 包袋一样——甚至比其他任何一款都更全面——Rover 巧妙地融合了我所欣赏的其他背包中的所有贴心小功能，且丝毫不显浮夸。
At the top of the bag, there’s a zipped compartment that flips open to reveal the rucksack-style opening, which closes with a drawstring. This is where I like to put my keys, any important paperwork I may have on me, and sometimes my wallet. Typically, I find myself double- and triple-checking the zipper to make sure nothing is falling out. No need with the Rover, because inside that zipped compartment, there’s also a clip for keys and an additional zipped mesh sleeve. This feature lets you double-bag anything you don’t want to risk falling out—in my case, passports for myself and my daughter. When I got through the TSA line at the airport, I clipped in my car keys for the week, zipped the passports into the mesh sleeve, and never worried about losing either. 背包顶部有一个拉链隔层，翻开后可以看到采用抽绳闭合的背包式开口。我喜欢把钥匙、随身携带的重要文件，有时还有钱包放在这里。通常，我总是会反复检查拉链，确保没有东西掉出来。但用 Rover 就没这个必要了，因为在那个拉链隔层内，还有一个钥匙扣和额外的拉链网兜。这个功能让你能对不想丢失的物品进行“双重保险”——对我来说，就是我和女儿的护照。当我在机场通过安检时，我扣好车钥匙，将护照拉进网兜，从此再也不用担心丢失它们。
As for the main compartment, unlike most bags of this small size, you don’t have to rummage through it from the top. Instead, there’s a handy J-shaped zipper running the length of the bag so you can get to things at the bottom without needing to first deal with everything on top. After boarding a flight, I got to my Turtl pillow and off-brand Sondor travel cushion—both toward the bottom of the pack—as soon as I got to my seat, then zipped back up without having to unpack my fleece or toiletries that were situated toward the top. 至于主隔层，与大多数同尺寸的小包不同，你不必从顶部翻找。相反，它有一个贯穿包身长度的便捷 J 型拉链，这样你无需先处理顶部的物品就能拿到包底的东西。登机后，我一坐到座位上就拿到了放在包底部的 Turtl 枕头和 Sondor 旅行靠垫，然后拉上拉链，完全不需要翻出放在顶部的抓绒衣或洗漱用品。
The side pockets, which are designed for water bottles, have some spandex to them so they can accommodate bottles of various sizes. I don’t drink water on airplanes, but I can confirm they were able to accommodate cans of Diet Coke. 侧袋专为水瓶设计，带有一定的弹性，可以容纳各种尺寸的水瓶。我不怎么在飞机上喝水，但我可以确认它们完全能装下罐装健怡可乐。
This bag is ostensibly for the trail, and I wouldn’t hesitate to take it on a day hike and use the lightly padded waist belt to keep it from jostling around. But this was the type of trip where you just toss a strap or two over your shoulder and tuck away the waist belt under the foam backing layer—an easy modification on the Rover. You can also use that foam layer to protect a laptop or tablet, as there’s a side zipper to put something between it and the inside of the bag. 这款包表面上是为户外徒步设计的，我毫不犹豫地会带着它去一日徒步，并使用带有轻薄衬垫的腰带防止背包晃动。但这次旅行中，我只是简单地把它背在肩上，并将腰带收纳在泡沫背板层下——这是 Rover 上一个非常简单的调整。你还可以利用那层泡沫来保护笔记本电脑或平板电脑，因为侧面有一个拉链，可以将设备放入泡沫层与包内侧之间。
This pack is 22 liters, perfect as a personal item or for a day hike. An enterprising ultralight backpacker could probably do a summer overnighter with it using the clipped straps on the bottom and the single row of nylon loops to attach a sleeping bag and shelter. They’re also useful for strapping on dirty gear you don’t want to stuff inside the bag. 这款背包容量为 22 升，非常适合作为随身个人物品或一日徒步使用。一位有进取心的超轻背包客或许可以用它进行夏季过夜旅行，利用底部的扣带和单排尼龙环来外挂睡袋和帐篷。这些扣带对于捆绑不想塞进包里的脏装备也非常有用。
Like many of my colleagues, I’m a huge fan of Topo Designs and could have written a love letter to a few of the brand’s bags—I’ve got the Global Pro Travel Roller here waiting for a trip next week—but I think the Rover Trail is the most versatile of the bunch, and it’s what I’d recommend as a gateway bag to others. 和我的许多同事一样，我是 Topo Designs 的忠实粉丝，我甚至可以为该品牌的几款包写一封情书——我手头就有一个 Global Pro 旅行拉杆箱正等着下周的旅行使用——但我认为 Rover Trail 是其中最全能的一款，也是我向他人推荐的入门级首选。
