First time purchaser of Portland products. Very happy with the quality and very nice looking carry bag. My wife absolutely loves it. The perfect size for travel and the wide open top is great for easy access.

I absolutely LOVE this backpack. I shopped around online for way too many hours looking for one I could use every day for commuting to work, but also spacious enough to serve as a weekend bag. I'm so happy I chose the Standard Cascade. I'm a light packer and have taken it with me as my only luggage several times- easy peasy. The many (but not overwhelming) compartments are great for staying organized. Beautifully designed and high quality material. My husband is tired of me saying "I love my ...

Finally got to use the backpack for my trip to Japan and absolutely love it. Easy to reach into and organize all my stuff! My favorite is how it sits flat on the bottom and opens up wide to get things in and out. It hasn’t rained yet but if it does I’m covered!

I bought this after careful review and research of what I needed as a travel personal item backpack. It does not have too many pockets so I forget what is where nor does it have too few so I feel unorganized. I love the waterproof construction because I have seen some plane mishaps that got my daughter's Tumi soaked in questionable liquid. The fabric has a very nice hand, not slick or tacky to touch and the fit on this 5" 1' senior body is comfortable. The strap on the back to slide over suitcas...

So far, I really like my Portland Gear backpack. I use it for dally commuting to and from the office. I appreciate the clamshell top opening. You can really see into the backpack, particularly with the light colored lining. The smaller size fits my laptop — barely. That’s ok by me but if you want your laptop to ride lower in the bag you may wish to choose the larger one. (I appreciate that the price point is similar, so it’s really a matter of what you need.) Some reviewers have had problems wit...

Just returned from three weeks in Costa Rica. This bag was the absolute perfect carry on to hold all the things I needed in case of a luggage loss. Throughout our trip it kept clean and was a perfect backpack. Thank you so much for making such a well designed accessory

Amazing bag, quality material and accessibility. Just the right amount of pockets and spaces to be a work bag and a little more.

I am 5'4" tall and I bought the compact back pack, it's the perfect size for my laptop, i pad, snacks, and other accessories for business travel. I especially love the open top where you can see inside easily. Someone complained about the water bottle holder but I think it's fine. Could be a little deeper but I am satisfied. I previously had a TUMI and love this one more, especially for the price.

Love this backpack! Wide enough to carry my computer and big binders. And streamlined and professional enough to take it to court. Ipening at top while standing up is just perfect to have at my side to dig into, when mevessa. And water proof to boot!

I really need to go back and update my review with a photo. I am 5'5" (167 lbs) and I exercise daily, but I am a mom of two and have what I see as the belly to prove it. I lift weights so my top is slim as are my shoulders. I always worry that ANYTHING cropped is just going to accentuate my tummy. But I have to say I put this on, (I usually wear a M top, bought a L in this and in my PG purchases I always size up,) and it was SUPER feminine and flattering. I absolutely love it. It's soft and cozy...

I think I'm really going to like this compact backpack. Very sturdy and easy access to the interior. Never one to use a backpack I decided to give this one a go for an upcoming international trip. Only one thing.... the interior velcro strap was only partially sown in and when I pulled it open the stitched gripper part came off. Quality control issue I guess.

This backpack is well made with great capacity and stylish! Love the cloud color and that it’s waterproof! Those are really the words of my high schooler, they love it!

Maya S.Verified

The backpack really holds everything- the standard size is a bit bigger and heavier than I thought. I am looking forward to seeing the waterproofing in the coming days- that was one complaint from a previous backpack. I wish it had a key clip instead of having to fish my keys out of the front pocket.

Love it! Well made. Waterproof! The cloud color is very nice. Visible in the rain. Really like the front chest strap. Comfortable, well-made pack!

I have the tan colored bag, I LOVE it, and I wanted a different color for Spring/Summer. This is the best shade. Glad it was back in stock. I have had countless backpacks in different styles. One thing I did notice with my first backpack from YOU folks was the comfort factor, when I strapped it across my back. It hung perfectly, no pinching. No back pain. ( I pack everything in my bags, and back pain is a usual thing for me! LOL) The first day I used it, it was very cold, and I was walking aro...

It's perfect!! I was just on a trip to Ireland and two of my travel mates had this bag and I got to see it in action and knew I needed to order one.

I got this for a recent trip and love it! Wide top opening, small pockets inside too. Plus weather resistant and easy to clean. Oh and it looks cool too!

I originally ordered the compact backpack but it was a little small for my needs. So I exchanged it for the standard size and am very happy that I did. The exchange was so easy and the new size arrived in a timely manner. The open wide top easily accommodates my clarinet, music, and accessories with extra pockets for personal items like my phone, umbrella, and water bottle. Also love the tote handles on top of the pack. This product has features that are well thought out and totally meets my nee...

This backpack is great for my everyday back and forth for work. It's not too big, but definitely has lots of room to carry what you need. It feels very sturdy and I love the wide opening.

I waited and waited for the Compact Backpack in Cloud to become available. The wait was worth it! I recently used it on a car trip and it worked so well. I am looking forward to using it on my next plane trip. As far as I can tell this really is the perfect backpack for me.

Super excited about my new backpack. It’s a great size and doesn’t look too big on a petite frame. Tons of space and pockets and look forward to using it as a daily bag for work.

I love my Portland Gear - Cascade Backpack! I love the way it looks and it has lots of room. I brought it to a work conference and it was just perfect for bringing everything I needed between my hotel room and the conference center. The backpack's fit was great and even when heavy, remained comfortable.

Absolutely in Love with My Portland Gear Backpack! I can’t say enough good things about the Cascade Backpack - Standard in Forest from Portland Gear. The design is sleek and stylish, and the color is just perfect. It’s incredibly spacious inside, making it super practical for all my needs. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and it feels extremely well-made. Plus, the shipping was lightning fast! Highly recommend this backpack to anyone looking for quality and style.

I must say my interaction with Portland Gear from start to finish was a pleasure! I purchased multiple items not knowing which one would be the best fit. I ended up keeping the compact because it was PERFECT for me! The quality is beautiful and the functionality is impressive. Every detail well thought out. The customer service, communication and follow thru was absolutely amazing. Including my return! I give them a 10 out of 10! I will definitely purchase from them again. THANK YOU!

Totally love both sizes. They are wonderful. I threw away all my other fit one like this for years. I got caught in the rain and it did keep everything dry. The lining being a lighter color makes it so easy to find things and the bag opening is the best. Carry the large one when I travel and use the small one all the time. Best ever

My very favorite things about this backpack is the opening. It opens like a bag - wide at the mouth. I can see what's in it. It has plenty of room for all my stuff. I take it into the city everyday. Gym stuff, laptop, a book. Any bigger and it would be too heavy. I LOVE the color. If you like green, it's gorgeous. LOVE the fabric. Love the handles on top for when I have to grab it and it's not on my back. The straps are nice and cushy! The water bottle pockets are a perfect size and ...

I absolutely love everything about my new Portland Backpack! It’s the perfect size for travel. The way it stands and stays open is convenient for air travel when you need to get to items quickly, then closes up easily and securely. It cleans up easily with a damp cloth.

Backpack is as described. Good quality, comfortable straps, can hold ALOT of stuff. Only bag I took on a weeklong trip and it worked perfectly. Love how the top opens wide. Easy to get things out when under airplane seat.
