This White Stag sign is a perfect addition to my little basement bar. I grew up loving the sign and my dad had an old White Stag winter coat with the emblem as the zipper pull. It’s really a cool statement piece and everyone who comes over enjoys it.

Haven’t worn this yet, but the stitching along with the material of the felt wool is very high quality!!! Would recommend to anyone who’s looking to rep Portland for yourselves or as a gift.

This is a great bag/back pack! I love how easy it is to pack for the workday. It stands up, top stays open and there is lots of room with large pockets that fit everything one can organize it it. The waterproof zipper seals are great as is the material it's made from. I'm so glad I bought it!

So I was debating on purchasing the back pack. My daughter uses the standard and I got the compact. So, I went to the airport and the girl at the counter helped me measure. So folks you can use these babies both sizes in an airline that is cheap fares but a spendy baggage charge. The photos tell the story. Thanks you guys for being so bloody patient with me and my decision. Now im getting the standard size also.

I love the Cascade Standard backpack. What I love is the quality craftsmanship, the little peg feet that allow it to stand without tipping over, the wide opening at the top, the sturdy zippers and that it's waterproof - even the zippers. Plus, it holds plenty and yet fits under the seat on the airplane. I was able to purchase this backpack in the stunning Sunrise yellow but alas, it's no longer available. I get so many positive comments on the backpack's features, and especially about the color...

I looked at so many backpacks prior to finding the Cascade (black). It is perfect. Took it on its first adventure to The Homestead. It held all my electronics (14 inch Mac, iPod pro, Kindle and assorted cords/chargers, make-up, and an extra days worth of clothing. Love all the pockets, inside and out. Zippers work effortlessly. It is so comfortable and easy to carry. I am a bit on the shorter side (5'2") and the fit was great. The only thing not tested was its resistance to water. Thank you Port...

Really happy with my two backpacks and look forward to buying one for my husband soon!! They sit well on me (and I’m short!) and the face that they are waterproof is a definite plus. Great find!!

This sign is so cool! I like that it has its own clear, low-profile acrylic stand, which increases displaying options. It’s bright, full of detail, and has lots of blinking/fading options.

This compact pack holds a lot and is a dream to fly with. Fits easily under the seat in front. The side pocket is great for hold a water bottle. I love the way it sits flat and opens wide. It has two zippers for the top. This pack is top quality and I’m very happy with my purchase.

I love this hoodie so much! I was worried cause I ordered a small and it seemed very big but luckily it shrank A LOT in the wash. So you might also want to keep that in mind when ordering if you like them to fit looser!

Best backpack I've owned. Everything I need fits in here, I use it for work everyday and have taken it on several trips where it holds everything I need. Also big plus that it can hold big water bottles. Very helpful that the bag is waterproof so all of my tings always stay dry. Super sleek look which I love, it will go with anything. High quality bag for all of your needs, couldn't recommend it enough!

Iconic sign of the PNW! Dimmest mode works great in my small TV room. Perfect size and really easy set-up. Base is a bit precarious and tipsy, would prefer it to snap into place. Nevertheless, a fantastic addition and upgrade to my home decor.

Love the look, the space within, and the ease of carrying this bag. I fly to Seattle from NYC frequently and rather not bring a suitcase. With this bag, I roll my clothes up which fit perfectly at the bottom. Cosmetics on top and my book in the front pocket. Happy travels!!!!

Awesome bag that looks great, holds a LOT of stuff and laughs at moisture. I’m super happy with it and plan to take it everywhere for traveling, work, etc. I will even invest in the duffle bag. They are so well made and affordable

My sister gave me this for Christmas. I immediately liked how it looked but then put it aside during the chaos of the day. Fast forward a few weeks and I’m getting ready to go back up to Ketchikan Alaska for my quarterly trip to teach classes. I remembered the backpack and decided to use it….. it has blown me away. First it fit 2 laptops perfectly and easily. I know it’s obnoxious but 1 for work and the other to watch Netflix in the hotel. As I’m packing it, it sits up nicely. There’s room ...

A picture from riding on the tube with my PG standard size somewhere between London and Heathrow airport. This bag held up in every way! I am so glad I made the investment to purchase one prior to my overseas travels. Because of this bag's ample yet efficient storage space, I was able to avoid having to check any bags with the airline, as it easily fit under my seat. I can happily report that not a drop of the rain which was showering London upon my arrival reached any of my items as I walke...

I got the compact backpack, cloud color. The size is perfect for petite person (I’m 5’2) and daily use. I would like to get the standard size for my next road trip ❤️

I bought my bag in 2023 and LOVE it! It holds so much and fits perfectly under an airplane seat. It's comfortable to wear and is very stylish and functional. I bought my daughter a black one for work as a birthday gift and she uses it in SF and looks so professional. Two of my friends loved mine enough that we took a trip to Portland to actually buy their 2024 models in person. The green of theirs is lighter than my 2023 model and has very slightly different details. I'm seriously consider...

No shame… I wear this shirt at LEAST once a week. It was gift that my co-workers got for me before I moved out of Portland to Colorado. Awesome material, very comfortable, simple yet stands out! Love repping my Portland Gear Tee in any city that I go to.

Purchased for my son for his College conference in Chicago last week. He received a lot of compliments and there were many students from other Oregon Universities so he met many new local buddies.

We traveled to several Japan cities for 2 weeks. Instead of lugging our suitcases through train stations we used luggage forwarding. This meant we need to keep 2-3 days of clothes and personal items while our luggage was in transit. The Cascade backpack held these items perfectly! I love it's big-mouth opening which makes it easy to load items and teach down for bottom items. I love that it is waterproof too.

I really like the look, texture, and size. I am satisfied that it is more solid than the price. The only thing I personally disliked was that it was made in China. If this was made in America, there would be no complaints. But overall I really like it.

My beautiful bag fit all my personal item needs and fit perfectly under my airline seat. I flew economy and still had room for my feet. Coming home two people asked me where I got my bag so I told them. I can’t say enough how happy I am with this purchase.

Love showing my Portland pride with this iconic neon sign. Everyone loves it. It's really bright at full strength and looks great even when it's off. The guys at the shop were helpful when I had challenges with the remote. All good!

Goodbye tote. Hello everyday essential for All The Things. It's an urban warrior for running errands yet tough enough for "hiking" in Washington Park. There's always room for an extra layer and groceries, even with my laptop, multiple water bottles, snacks. Plus it looks so upscale, it fit right in at the Ritz-Carleton. I love mine so much, I went back to the Portland store recently to purchase a gift card for my niece and her new husband. Fitting for their journey of a lifetime! Don't be afrai...

It's only been a few days but I'm in love with this bag. Probably one of the few sturdy bags I've ever owned. Love that it's so spacious and and incredibly well-designed. Excited to take it with me on my trip. I appreciate all the little pockets, slips, and the handles to be able to easily take with me without having to fully put it on (if that makes any sense). Am definitely getting the smaller version for work!

I was worried at first about the possible weight of the bag before I ordered, but it is very lightweight! It's well constructed and durable exactly what I needed for long plane rides and hiking adventures in Europe!! Love it!

I don’t think I’ll ever buy another backpack again! Portland Gear, you’ve won my heart! This backpack is everything you'll ever need for your daily commute or travel. From the sleek look to the outstanding quality, it ticks every box. But what truly sets it apart is the comfort. As someone who juggles long days—working in the morning and heading straight to classes in the evening—comfort is non-negotiable, and this bag delivers. Whether you’re rushing through the city or traveling, it keeps your...

This is so cute and eye catching. I like how shiny is the black part and colorful patching. Wore it to the mall on a Sunday Black Friday weekend and noticed how people were watching me display it out as I sashay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I rarely write reviews but I had to this time. After doing a thorough search online and ordering/returning many backpacks I found this one and it is perfect!!! Roomy, lightweight, not too many pockets, looks nice, durable material, comfortable straps, I could go on and on… In this pic I’m on a short trip and it is pretty empty but I’ll bet I could fit all the weekend’s necessitie in here. Buy it!!!

This is my go to every day bag, it fits all my essentials. I love all the pockets. There’s an outside pocket on both sides of the bag great for cards or money it comfortably fits my wallet, phone, keys, and Kindle. The strap is great quality and can be adjusted, I am curvy and there plenty of strap to fit comfortably. I would absolutely buy another if they do another color option.

I love my new travel backpack! Great quality and beautiful color. The material seems very durable and easy to clean. Great size and easy to pack things. Not a lot of compartment pockets… but less is definitely more. This is the standard size… and now I am finding myself really wanting to get the smaller one in red 😊

I love my Portland Gear bags! I bought the Cascade 21L backpack, with Cascade Travel Kit and Cascade pouch. They arrived the day before I left for a one month work trip. Paired with my TUMI rollaboard bag, this was all the luggage I needed for my trip, which took me from Washington DC to Madrid, onward to Morocco, up to Frankfurt, Newark, then over to Dubai, from there to San Francisco and now Denver. I was in two desert locations, and the zippers kept the sand out of the bags which was grea...

I’m obsessed with this bag! I purchased the Olive Compact. The site doesn’t give this color justice. I have probably 6 Tumi bags, and this by far is my absolute favorite! The quality and craftsmanship is top notch and the way this opens on top is genius! Great Job to Portland Gear!

I bought these bags in the standard size on a whim for my mom and I. I'm originally from Oregon, so I love repping my home state. I reside in Texas and travel extensively. This bag has been absolutely amazing for travel and everyday use. I love the design. I got the "Cloud" color for myself and was nervous that it would get dirty easily. However, reading reviews before purchasing there was no indication that was a concern. After using the bag for nearly 4 months, it does not scuff up easily and ...
