I purchased this as a prize for a baby shower game. I chose items made by Portland businesses for attendees to choose from when they play the games at the party. This mug has a lovely hand-feel and weight. I think it will be a popular choice for participants!

Great jacket! Perfect weight for Oregon winters most of the time. Not too heavy, yet enough to wear often. And the style! Who doesn't love a classic letter jacket. Like my brother wore back in the day and I always envied. And the price of this gem? Unbelievable for the outstanding quality. Well done 💯👏🏻Portland Gear.

I love this backpack; I’ve been using a Timbuk2 pack which has a similar size but this one carries more and is easier to pack. I do all my shopping on foot and being able to pack everything in one bag is important to me and the Cascade pack passes the test in spades. Not only does it open more fully, it also keeps everything dry — the other bag is made of heavy canvas and leather and the pockets aren’t waterproof (it also costs about 30$ more, go figure).

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my khaki backpack. I have used it on several weekend trips instead of my beautiful Tumi. Why? Because it is so cute and so spacious - roomy enough for two days of clothes, make-up, a good book, and a few snacks. The top opens wide to make organizing a breeze. I live in Colorado so the pack stays nice and dry even in a snow flurry. I think that equally as great as this backpack is the customer service I received. I ordered a second backpack and had a problem with the p...

LOVE this backpack!!! Love the way the top opens up--easy to load, and easy to find everything inside. I've only had it for a few days but it is my new favorite thing.

Haven’t used it yet as purchased for a summer trip, but love the roominess of it and all the pockets. Great look and fabric. Can tell a lot of thought and consideration went into the design of this bag!

Love this hat. Wore it while visiting my son in San Francisco and he loved it so much that I left it with him, came home and bought another.

This bag is amazing, I am taking it on my Alaskan cruise next week and to Iceland in August. It holds an amazing amount of travel items, and being waterproof is a bonus. I look forward to purchasing some of your leather bags as well in the near future.

This is the BEST TEACHER bag ever! If you are a teacher, you need this bag. I have been through many bags, and this one is the winner. It fits so much, and I love that it pops open upright so you can reach right in for your laptop, folders, books, etc. Since it is waterproof, I never worry about my work or students' work getting wet. It has just the right amount of pockets...and for a backpack, it is very stylish! If you are on the fence, don't hesitate to buy this bag. It is well worth the mone...

I love the bag. I have used a backpack as my primary bag for q long time. This one fit the bill. Not too big, extra pockets, room for everything. I love that it's waterproof. Going to kids sport events in Oregon can get wet.

OMG.....Tumi quality without the exorbitant price tag.... thank you Portland Gear for this beautiful bag. Roomy, sturdy, fashionable, practical... I'm in love! Can't wait to bring it on another trip. I recommended it to my friends and they bought 2!

Customer service was fantastic! I initially chose the compact version of the bag but found it too small for my gear when it arrived. Fastest exchange I have ever had for online shopping. The large size is perfect! It’s raining this week and the bag is keeping all my things nice and dry. The bag DOES NOT fall over when I have my laptop inside! It is just a little heavier than I was expecting but I am super happy and would recommend for sure. Cant wait to use it for travel.

Took it to the hospital with me and was perfect as an overnight bag and place to put my computer. When going to the ferry, it fit on my back perfectly and the straps were very comfortable. It looks good, the color is nice, and it's a good size.

I love my new bag, and it has a lifetime warranty they were so awesome about the exchange! My first version of the backpack had a small tear at the base of the handle. So I reluctantly brought it back to the store and they said oh it's a defect and we have a new manufacturer. Wait here let me get you a new upgraded bag. The new one has more pockets and is lighter in weight and I am so happy with the new bag and the customer service of Portland Gear! Thank you! Buy Local !!!

I love this bag. Great construction, thoughtful features, great size. Couple things I would love to see improved: with my laptop in, the top is hard to close because it doesn’t let the side where my laptop is come forward to meet the other side. If the bag were an inch or so taller I think it would fix that. Also, I would love to see roomier water bottle pockets. When the bag is full, I have a hard time getting a water bottle into the pocket because it is flat against the bag. Even with these tw...

The design is really practical with the backpack having really quality construction. After I use it on my coming trip I’ll critique further

I think I’m going to like this bag for travel. I love the idea of the stay-open top. It gives a great view of the bag contents and pockets. I’m going to use sturdy zip-loc type bags to further organize items. A good size water bottle fits easily in the outside sleeve. The straps seem sturdy. I have confused your websites between Portland Gear and Portland Leather? I wish they were linked together. I’ve now ordered from both.

I think your sakura items are so pretty. I was really tempted to purchase your smaller backpack in black but would have loved it if it had the cherry blossom theme on it as well. If you ever make one like that, please let me know. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I ADORE these backpacks! ❤️ Get so many compliments on them. In a word, they’re perfect! The only change I’d make, is add a few pastel colors❤️ Cotton Candy Pink, Iced Lilac,Frosted Mint Green, and Buttery Yellow🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I loved loved this bag! I owned a branded tumi and love it but when I came across this brand and tried it, I fell in love with the quality and functionality and for the price it’s way better than my former favorite Tumi, this is my new favorite brand 😍

I absolutely love my new backpack! 🎒 People at the airport were admiring it & one even asked if she could take a picture of it! Just what I was looking for!

I bought this for a recent trip to North Carolina. It was the perfect size for one of my carry-ons, and the innovative opening on top was just what I needed to help fit all of the souvenirs I was bringing back home! Most importantly, my sister loved it enough that she wanted to get one for her son who just started his freshman year at college, so I guess the quality spoke for itself. :-)

We purchased this as a gift, but selfishly wanted to get eyes on it to see if we wanted to order one for ourselves as well. It is AMAZING! An absolute must have addition for the backpack!

The wide opening is the answer to all my knuckle scrapes from the tight zippers on my last backpack...and the kicky red color helps me cope with gloomy weather (along with the waterproof fabric). Love it so much I bought one for my college bound child...

Ordered the smaller size since I am only 5'. It was a perfect size for me to carry around. Great & enough pockets. My order got lost in transit, the customer service replaced it in a few days. Very happy with everything.

I LOVE this backpack. Just used it for the first time as my small carryon for a flight and it was so roomy. I was able to take my large iPad, a kindle, 3 charging cables, a book, snacks, water, sunglasses, and it still seemed empty! It was comfortable to carry over one shoulder. I love this backpack!

The compact backpack is so well-designed and functional that I didn’t hesitate at all when giving it 5 stars. The color (forest green) is beautiful. There’s plenty of pockets while having a sizable main compartment. Would buy it all over again.

Love this bag! It is exactly what I was looking for. I started a new job at a hospital and was concerned about my bag getting wet during rain due to my 12 + minute walk to the hospital from the parking lot. The first week I had the bag, we had a lot of rain and true to the company’s ad, my bag was waterproof and everything stayed dry and it was easy to wipe down. Very comfortable and love the easy access and extra compartments. It even holds my 32 ounce water bottle perfectly! Will definitely r...

TLDR; Buy this bag, it's dope! I think this backpack is awesome! The design, the functionality, and the minimalism - I can tell it was well thought out. I mainly use this bag for work and overall, it's solid! I highly recommend this backpack to most people! Pros: -The open top design is very convenient -It can fit quite a bit of stuff: I usually have my 16in mac book, Theragun, a 40oz water bottle, a camera insert with a camera and extra lens, and if needed, I can store a sweater as well! -I...

I started by buying the big one. Got in love with it… it was very roomy and that was great. Then I realized that they have the same bag, but smaller… It is the right size for an everyday carrying in a city. The outside pockets are perfect for the water bottles. Now, Im matching this bag with a big leather one that I own. This will fit inside the big one and then I’ll have two bags available. One for the traveling stuff and the other one to get to venues, like museums etc…

This hoodie is amazingly soft and looks so dang good on! It is a lot lighter in person than it is on the website, but it is a lot better in person! Thank you, Portland Gear!

This is a good bag for commuting on the L. Easy to wipe of dirt on the inside and when my protein shake spills on the inside (and it will). I don't worry about waking with it in the rain. I do wish there were more small zippered compartments (like one for a book) and a bottle pouch on the inside (to hold my protein shake more securely). This is a good backpack that I expect to last me many years.

Well, I already did a review on the large backpack, and this one is virtually the same except smaller. I love the size of it. The big one is too big for daily use, but perfect for long hikes or traveling. This compact one can be used everyday, and also for traveling. When I took it out of the bag, it looked very big, but after opening it up, it’s perfect. So glad I went ahead and got this one too. It will travel with me sometimes as it still will hold my iPad, as well as other necessities. It ha...

Recently took this on a trip to France and was very pleased with the functionality and look! Love the pockets both inside and out, but most of all I love the way it snaps open for easy packing and access. This has replaced a larger (but not necessarily roomier) Tumi backpack I used to travel with. Excited to use it again!
