Gear Worth Keeping: Tersus Solutions Partners with Topo Designs and Trove to Launch Remapped

The philosophy at Topo Designs has always been simple: make gear that lasts, and take care of it when it doesn't. Since founding in Fort Collins, Colorado in 2008, Topo Designs has built a loyal following around beautifully crafted, durable packs, bags, and apparel designed for wherever life takes you—from mountain trails to city streets.

Now, the brand is taking that commitment to product longevity one step further. We’re proud to announce our partnership with Topo Designs to process the items for Remapped—their new branded resale program built to give pre-loved Topo Designs gear a second life. Trove powers the recommerce platform while products are operationalized by Tersus Solutions.

For two Colorado-rooted organizations, this is a perfect partnership.

A Brand Built to Last—And Now Built to Recirculate

Topo Designs has spent over a decade proving that outdoor gear doesn’t have to be disposable. Their MAP Pact initiative—focused on Maintaining, Acting, and Protecting the communities and environments they love—reflects a brand culture that genuinely walks its sustainability talk. From using organic cotton and recycled nylons across 95% of their product line, to offering lifetime warranties on bags and a repairs program to extend the life of beloved gear, Topo Designs has always believed the best product is the one already in your hands.

Remapped is the natural next step in that journey. It’s a fully branded recommerce channel that allows Topo Designs customers to trade in pre-loved gear and shop quality secondhand pieces—all within the Topo Designs ecosystem. How Remapped Works

Like most things executed by Topo Designs, the Remapped program is straightforward by design:

1. Trade In — Customers send back eligible Topo Designs gear they’re no longer using and receive credit toward future purchases.

2. Restore & Refresh — Tersus receives, sorts, cleans, inspects, and grades each item, bringing it back to resale-ready condition using our proprietary liquid CO₂ cleaning technology and other expert restoration processes.

3. Shop Remapped — Restored gear is listed and sold through Topo Designs’ Remapped storefront, powered by Trove software, giving each piece the chance to find a new home and a new adventure.

   
   

The result is a circular model that rewards customers for participating, recovers value for the brand, and keeps high-quality outdoor gear in circulation—and out of the landfill.

Tersus Solutions: The Operations Partner Behind Remapped

Tersus Solutions serves as the physical backbone of the Remapped program—handling every step of the item journey from the moment it arrives at our Denver-area facility to the moment it goes live on the Remapped storefront.

For each item that comes through our facility, we:

• Receive and log incoming trade-ins with unique item identifiers

• Clean pieces using our patented, waterless liquid CO₂ technology—gentle on technical fabrics and performance materials, effective at removing body oils, odors, and everyday buildup

• Perform any necessary repairs or restoration to bring items to resale-ready condition

• Inspect and grade items against Topo Designs’ quality standards

• Coordinate listing and fulfillment in partnership with the Trove platform

Topo Designs’ packs, bags, and apparel are built with premium materials designed to go the distance. By treating each item with the care it deserves, we help ensure that what goes back on the Remapped shelf truly reflects the quality the Topo Designs brand is known for.

Powered by Trove

Remapped is powered by Trove, the market leader in branded resale software. Trove’s platform provides the digital infrastructure that makes the program work seamlessly for both the brand and the customer—handling trade-in flows, inventory management, pricing, and the branded storefront experience that keeps the Topo Designs identity front and center throughout the resale journey.

Together, Tersus + Trove provide a complete recommerce solution: Trove powers the software layer, and Tersus handles the physical operations. It’s a partnership built for brands that want to launch recommerce programs at scale, without building the infrastructure from scratch.

Why This Partnership Matters

Topo Designs and Tersus Solutions share more than a geography, we share the belief that well-made products deserve a full life. Recommerce isn’t just a sustainability checkbox; it’s a meaningful way for brands to deepen their relationship with customers, recover value from existing inventory, and demonstrate that their commitment to quality extends beyond the first sale.

Remapped is proof that circularity can be beautiful, functional, and on-brand. A customer who trades in a well-worn Rover Pack and finds a gently-used Klettersack at an accessible price isn’t just shopping, they’re participating in a system that values what they already own.

That’s the kind of program worth building. And we’re proud to help build it.
