Simon and Garfunkel. Mario and Luigi. Thelma and Louise. Iconic duos abound throughout the annals of history, and it may be time to add another to the list: Danner and Topo Designs.
Danner and TD easily make the list of "our favorite outdoor brands" individually, and together, it's a match made in recreationalist heaven. The two brands have collaborated before — in 2018, they released a pair of hiking boots and backpack meant to go everywhere, combining the aesthetics and principles each brought to the table. Now, a new fall/winter partnership sees the release of a limited-edition collection featuring a fleece pullover, backpack and boots.

This season's collection is built for the balanced adventurer; people who prioritize multifunctionality and prize the trail-to-town aesthetic. The Danner x Topo Designs limited edition collection, with its jewel tones, bright pops of color and quality construction, looks just at home at the campsite as it does the co-op. Here's a breakdown of what's included.
The Boot
The Danner x Topo Designs Free Spirit Boot features a suede and textile upper in a limited-edition colorway, along with some more technical features: a Gore-Tex waterproof liner keeps things dry, the (removable) Ortholite footbed delivers comfort on hikes long and short and the Vibram outsole maintains grip even in the most challenging conditions. The Danner x Topo Designs Free Spirit Boot will be available in men's sizing only.
The Fleece
The Danner x Topo Designs Mountain Fleece Pullover is bound to be an instant classic; it features a front half-zip that makes on-offs easy and helps regulate temperature on the go, and the side hand pockets and adjustable hem help maintain warmth. The Danner x Topo Designs Mountain Fleece Pullover is made from 100 percent recycled poly and features strategic DWR nylon overlays on the elbows and collar for durability in hard-working areas.
The Backpack
No hiking kit is complete without a backpack — something Topo Designs knows only too well. The Danner x Topo Designs Mountain Pack comes in a 16-liter size — ideal for day hikes and short trips. It features the same unique colorway as the boot and fleece and is constructed from a 200D recycled nylon ripstop with a 210D recycled nylon liner. The pack features a a main compartment with internal organization, a laptop sleeve and an expandable front pocket for odds and ends that need a home on the trail.
