Absolutely gorgeous addition to any true Portlandian or general lover of PDX. As a new resident I couldn’t resist this piece with the “red nose”. A true staple of Portland imagery. I am very happy with this product. 🎄

Love my new Compact backpack from Portland Gear! It's lightweight, yet the material feels great and could weather many circumstances. I adore the top opening, especially with such small space on the plane to look through my carry-on.

I truly love this backpack! I bought about 3 weeks ago and I've been using it everyday to work. It fits absolutely everything I need, has a great material and is so beautiful! everyone loves it too and I got one of my coworkers to buy one as well.

Wasabi Paddling Club of Portland, OR took part in the Intl Dragonboat Federation’s 2024 Club Crew World Championships in Ravenna Italy this past week. Quite a few teammates had the backpack in different colors. We all loved them & our teammates that didn’t have them wanted 1!
I took my Rose on a day excursion to San Marino, a country of its own in Italy. Looking out over Italy, the Adriatic Sea in the background & across is Croatia. The bag even did its waterproof duty a few days. Thank you!

This is a sturdy backpack with a nice amount of pockets/storage. The yellow color is beautiful! I can’t speak to how it holds up because I’ve just purchased it, but it seems very well made (and I’ve received tons of compliments on it already).

Great backpack! Extremely versatile, comfortable, and stylish. It’s easy to get in and out of. I love that it stands on its own. This backpack is headed to Ireland. I’m sure it will be a great travel buddy!

Finally ordered the Cascade Backpack. I chose the cloud color which is accurately presented on the website.
I love this bag. My first trip was a 6 night trip to NYC, and I was able to fit everything I needed for that trip, which is precisely why I wanted to try the Cascade. My next trip is to Jamaica for a week and I plan to use it for that too!
Thank you Portland Gear

We ordered ten backpacks for Christmas gifts and they were a hit!!! Our original order got stuck in the mail somewhere and Portland Gear’s customer service shipped another ten to us by way of a different carrier to make sure we got them in time for Christmas! All of the cousins (ages 19-25) were very excited to use them for school and travel. Our niece has had her things soaked in a regular backpack walking across campus on a rainy day so she was super excited to get this weather resistant one.

Love them so much. I got both sizes, small for running gear and large as weekender. A guy on the plane asked me about my backpack and I gave him your company name. Well made and all the right compartments.

Love this bag! It's so practical and comfortable to wear. Good quality materials and very well made. I bought a standard-size to use as a carry-on for travel, but I'll be buying another one to use for work. I'm an EMT and this bag will be perfect for use in any weather. It's also very sturdy and seems like it could hold a lot of weight. The back and straps are padded and seem like they'll hold up well. The wide top opening combined with the lighter color material inside means you can see everyth...

This backpack is beautiful, durable, and holds way more than it looks like it could. My son, who usually couldn’t care less how he packs, asked if this bag comes in black, as he wants one. My younger son immediately picked out the green, so it looks as though I’ll be buying 2 more, and I’ll probably order a smaller one for myself for regular daily use. This is the larger bag and I am traveling in the winter so clothing is thicker.

I am a flight attendant and saw a customer with this bag - I immediately knew that it would be a perfect flight bag. I can pack it for a single day trip or slip it over the handle of my roll aboard for longer trips. The versatility makes it a great city day-bag as well and I love that it is more waterproof than many similar bags. The look is sleek and professional and fits well with my crew luggage.

This shirt made my senior night feel better than it should’ve, It went through rock climbing, basketball, and more everyday activities and didn’t wrinkle or didn’t get messed up like a normal shirt would, 100% would recommend

I am all set for adventures with my new Portland Gear gear! These bags are the best. I especially love the green backpack - would love a duffle in that color.

Purchased for an international trip and it worked perfectly. I went with the compact size because I’m 5’1” petite in stature. Was able to fit a packable down jacket, packable raincoat, iPad, kindle, sunglasses, a container holding chargers/plugs, snacks, tissues, umbrella, medications and much more! Note: the chest buckle height is adjustable and arrives at the highest point (I panicked briefly before realizing it could be moved down). I was able to fit it under the airplane seat fully loaded.

Love. It.
The material feels soft but rugged and durable. The craftsmanship is top notch and I feel like I got my money’s worth. As a teacher and student, this helps keep me organized. The side pockets are massive and hold my Yeti with ease.

I love that you can wear it as a backpack but also carry like a briefcase-- the handles are great for grabbing it out of the car. Generally it is just phenomenal and it is so cool looking. I get many compliments!

I have so many Portland products!! They are all wonderful and made to last forever. The new “Dr bag opening” on the duffle is my favorite . We have all colors of duffles and many of the backpacks !! We also have their hats and beanies and just purchased a sweatshirt. It’s always everyone’s favorite gift !

This design is perfect for the 3-day business trip. Dress shoes, slacks, shirts, toiletry bag. Adequate pockets inside for charging cords, reading material, snacks and few office odds and ends that don’t need to be in the Cascade Backpack I never leave behind. The shoulder strap is smartly designed with the offset clips and extra padded strap sleeve.

Perfect size for petites! I was tired of backpacks that were too big on my back. I’m 5 ft. tall and the compact size is perfect for me without sacrificing any features. I can fit a standard work laptop in my bag. My laptop is 15” measured diagonally and fits well in the laptop compartment. I was worried it wouldn’t fit and that I would need to exchange for the standard size due to reading previous reviews. I’m relieved that it does. I’m loving the weatherproof material and the bag seems well mad...

I love it because I can slip it into a backpack or a purse. Perfect for small items that always fall to the bottom. The cloud color is easy to spot, especially when in the car.

I have packed it for my up coming 3 day trip. It holds all the items I need for the trip. I love the wide open top, which makes it very easy to get items in and out of the backpack. What I really love, is how light weight it is, when on my shoulders and packed almost fully.
I’m looking forward to using it on this coming trip and many more in the future.

I needed a backpack solution with a trolley sleeve - but one that wasn’t too large (I’m just 5’1”). The Compact Cascade is perfect - I’m on dialysis and working on a kidney transplant, my bag has to be a ‘go’ bag for doctor, clinic and overnight hospital visits… as well as carry my laptop. The Cascade does all this - and manages to bridge not being to urban or too hikey. Comfortable to carry - I often walk the hospital halls to pass long days of testing appointments, so this was important. The t...

It has more room than anticipated. Once you open the zipper it allows you to see everything you needed. It also stays open until you zipped it back. This is the reason I bought more for my own use and as gifts

My wife and I visited Portland in Early December and stopped by the Portland Gear shop in PDX. She was impressed with the quality of materials, but it was a bit pricey for us to buy on a whim at the airport. So I did some research on the company and liked what I saw. I bought her a Cloudburst hoodie for Christmas. It was her favorite gift! It’s perfect for our San Francisco climate.

My daughter is in middle school, lockers are not available and has to carry all her school supplies every day. She had a regular backpack and it was so heavy, saggy and she complained it hurt her shoulders. We ordered her the Cascade Backpack - Standard and it is perfect. She can fit a 2 1/2 inch binder, 4 notebooks, pencil case and other small personal items plus her water bottle and she’s able to walk normal. Her shoulders don’t hurt and she doesnt feel is that heavy. This backpack has structu...

I can’t believe I just packed for a four day trip in a single backpack! I’m usually a carry on + a second weekender kind of gal and I am SHOCKED that I was able to pack so much into one cozy little backpack! The material and craftsmanship looks solid and the straps are comfortable. It hasn’t made its maiden voyage yet- so we’ll see how it holds up but right now I’m IMPRESSED!

I have bern looking for a backpack/type carry on forever! Nothing ticked all the boxes! But your Portland waterproof backpack has! Love the solid flooring, little feet so it stands up and the wide, easy access opening!plus when you latch the chest straps, it allows for over the wheelie handle carriage! Thank you!

Love LOVE this bag. Switched from driving to taking train to work and needed a backpack vs work tote. Big top opening is a game changer. I can fit my lunch and all work/personal items without it being stuffed. It's a quality product and comfortable to wear. Love the bigger side pockets to fit larger sized bottles.

I am so thrilled with my PAC. I took her on her first trip with a quick stop at the Portland gear stand at PDX and now she is standing proudly in front of the Indiana state capital in Indianapolis. Yesterday was a very rainy day, so the waterproof feature came in very handy. I can fit all of my work, my knitting, and my penguin back pillow, traveling companion in with no stress. And it’s very comfortable to carry. Thank you, Portland gear.

Believe all the reviews! I had an informal 2 day cross country trip and was amazed that I could fit everything I needed into the bag with a little space to spare. The bag fit nicely under the airline seat which I showed in comparison to my son's North Face backpack. It was so much easier traveling without a carry on suitcase and give a double thumbs up for the Portland Gear Cascade Backpack!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bag! Did I mention I LOVE it?
It is sturdy, comfortable, super spacious and looks great!
I was tired of being the "bag lady" and trudging to work with a computer bag, purse, lunch bag, bag holding sneakers/work shoes, and any other items I had to juggle.
I can fit everything in this bag. The wide mouth is THE feature for me. It looks professional for work but can be casual for travel. I have been telling everyone I know, they NEED one of these. Getting both of my kids a Cas...

I love this packpack! It took a while to talk myself into the pink one. But I love pink and I thought why not try it! My husband asked why I got pink since things get dirty on the plane/airport. Bonus: It fit perfect under the seat. So there were a few marks on it when I got home, but they wiped right off! Very roomy, it fit everything thing I needed and them some room left for shopping.
