I am so pleased with my "B grade" Cascade backpack! I already have a full-priced one, but it was the previous version without the luggage sleeve. Now I have the luggage sleeve, and I honestly can't find what makes this "B grade!" Thank you, P Gear for your attention to quality and detail that I can't even tell the difference!

This is by far the best backpack I’ve ever purchased. I take it with me whenever I fly or whenever I’m head to the coffee shop to write. I bought the sand color way and was a little worried about being able to keep it looking nice. So far any spillage has been easily wiped off. I was so happy with it that I bought my mom the black one!

Love the Cascade Backpack in the Compact size! Fits my laptop and my purse to take to work! It will be going on my next trip as well. The horizontal backpack strap will work great when I need to put it on my suitcase and wheel to my next destination at the airport!

Perfect size for a carry-on and use for a work bag. The zipper wide-mouth opening is perfect and I can find everything much easier. Highly recommend this bag!

I am planning to use my new backpack on a trip to Europe later this year. I have tried several other packs. The trolley on this pack fits my suitcase handle well for rolling through the airport. It is light weight and easy to grab and go as I swing it on my back. It also has all the extra pockets I need for the trip.

I’m testing out my new cloud backpack (I love the color!) on a cross country trip to Portland, OR. It fits perfectly under the plane seat, the grab handles are in just the right position and the wide mouth opening gives prime accessibility. Very happy with this purchase!

I immediately wanted it as soon as I saw how it opens at the top. I’m a wedding photographer and I need a backpack style that allows me to get in and out, grab what I need during a shoot. The deep, side pockets are GOLD for flashes and a water bottle. I love how big they are, it’s exactly what I need. The ability to carry it with my rolling bag securely is one of the high points as well. The pockets inside are going to be useful for all the little necessities that I carry during a shoot. PLUS, i...

GREAT GREAT BACKPACKS. Colors are strong. Fabric is lightweight but very durable. I like the top snapping open and remains in place as I load it. Traveling with the backpack is super easy. Fits perfectly under the seat but easy to retrieve for my reading material or jacket. I am so spoiled with the design and the customer service of this company.

The backpack is very well made with many storage possibilities. The backpack is a Christmas present for my sister who will appreciate this bag very much! The material is impressive. Great quality! Highly recommend!

So many great reviews, and they were absolutely right! The quality of the backpack is top-notch, the zipper is smooth and easy to use, and the color is fantastic. Plus, it's exceptionally comfortable. My only suggestion would be to add a key latch in future designs. LOVE IT!

I spent a month researching the right backpack for some upcoming trips, and I could not be happier with this bag! The quality is impressive, it looks and feels very well made, and it ticked all the boxes I needed. The size is acceptable on international flights and it's perfect for a weekender. I also love the company, and their message, community work and commitment to environmental impacts.

THE PERFECT BAG - But, seriously! I travel often on 2-3 days trips and take a small duffle with me. This will be my new go to for all short trips. The details, durability, size, and materials are incredible. Thank you PG for creating THE bag for travel. Let's see some suitcases here soon :D

I LOVE THIS BAG! It opens so wide, and the light interior fabric allows me to see everything inside. The exterior fabric is really easy to clean. The bag fits under the airplane seat in front of me, too!

Purchased this bag for my daughter - who is a third grade teacher. She absolutely loves it! Perfect for all her papers that she needs to carry. The material is fantastic - especially for wiping down.

Love my new backpack! It’s taken a lot of abuse in its first week. Airplane underseat, hiking, mud, countless trunks, floors and water. It’s so easy to wipe clean. ❤️My new travel companion.

Shelley B.Verified

Waiting to use this on a trip that I’m going to take soon. The bag I’ve been using for many years isn’t as organized so this bag makes me 😊. I like that it stands upright, the outside water bottle pockets and the various inside pockets. A big plus is that it’s waterproof and that I can slip it over my suitcase handle. Now the airlines require that if you have a small Crossbody purse that is considered a third carry-on so this will be very helpful. It’s been a bit of a struggle with what I’m cu...

Tina L.Verified

Wow, this probably the nicest backpack I've ever owned. I haven't tested it in wet conditions but it feels like it will keep my books and computer safe and dry. I poured some water on it in the sink and it rolled right off. If you're stuck deciding between the two sizes (standard vs compact) I would go with the standard. It's like your typical backpack in profile so it doesn't feel "too big / oversized" but the pop top makes it feel extra roomy. I think the larger size makes it more versatile. I...

I love it! I love the color, and all the pockets. They're the perfect pockets for my needs and the backpack itself is the perfect size. The fabric and zippers are high quality. My only complaint is shipping took forever.

Great bag. I can’t find any obvious flaws. I held off on buying this bag for a couple years now and was so thankful to snag one during the warehouse sale at such an affordable price. It’s seems to be a high quality product and I hope to get many years out of it. My only suggestion for updates is to make a third size that is the same width as this one, but taller. My portable monitor does not fit once I try zipping it closed.

We saw the hat and immediately had to buy for the girls. They got so many compliments on it. The one thing I don’t like so much is the visibility of the straps on the sides

Outstanding! Great color! This is my second backpack because I love them and wanted a different color. The blue is beautiful! Ready for my weekend trip. I love that I can use it as an EDC, but it’s large enough to fit everything for a weekend away.

Cassandra F.Verified

Great size and organization! I somehow fit what had been in a 35 L backpack in this 21 L backpack, and still squeezed a few extra items in there! The waterproof resistant zippers are a nice touch, and it feels better made and and of a higher quality than comparable or even higher priced backpacks that I have bought. I wasn’t sure if I would like the hinged top, but it turns out that I LOVE it!

Love this compact version just perfect for work and can fit any Mac or other laptop. Looks heavy duty made, feels comfy and firm when on shoulders. Fits all essentials and love the pockets and zipped compartments.

Great help in the store, and now this amazing backpack (that fits my slighter larger than average computer) is ready to travel with me. Looking forward to some amazing trips--and I smile knowing I had the right back pack to accompany me--anywhere. Life is a journey--make sure you have the right back pack!

I won this backpack at an event. I was so excited to hear I won as I really needed a travel pack. Lucky ME! The compact is the perfect size for me.

Even better in person I love the wide opening at the top I wanted this bag for travel and not having to unzip a traditional style backpack feels safer when traveling

I am so pleased! My backpack is actually larger than I thought it would be, and its capacity seems limitless. Makes it so difficult for me. I’ve got to choose you know different colors and I mean, you know when II am so pleased! My backpack is actually larger than I thought it would be, and it’s capacity seems limitless. Makes it so much easier to make sure I have everything I need in one bag. I prefer a backpack when I travel, and I think I have just found the perfect one. Love the color, love ...

Great bag---I had my doubts that it would be big enough for a weekender, but it's perfect. The shape of the main compartment makes it very easy to pack and use. It's light to carry. I got caught in the rain, and really appreciated that it's waterproof. I'm going to use it a lot!

The quality was superior to other competitors, and the opening allowed for easy access. This is stylish and functional for work. I love that it is weather resistant being in the Midwest.

I love this bag!!!! I got it on a whim after seeing it on Instagram and it has not disappointed - plenty of pockets and more than ample room inside and it’s super comfortable as a backpack. And it looks great.

I travel a lot for work and this backpack is great - it fits well under airplane seat and it's sturdy enough to go in overhead bin, if needed. I highly recommend!

I had a really wonderful experience. The young man was extremely helpful, and went above and beyond to make our experience a great one. The quality of the socks and hat that I purchased were top notch. I ended up gifting both items to my son for his 18th birthday and he was very happy with the gift.

I originally ordered 2 of these for my husband and I. This latest one is for my mom as she needed a new backpack. It is so great that we can put everything in on the top and the backpack stands up when loading. It will be much easier for her and we love the 2 we already have. Thanks for the great backpack!!

Allison B.Verified

Love the roomy interior! Use this as my work bag and I’m able to fit everything I need. I especially like that when I open it I can see all of my stuff at a glance.

Pamela S.Verified

This new version of the standard size Cascade backpack is great! Making the interior a light grey really improves the ability to see inside and be able to located one’s items easily. Also, the slip flap in the back works perfectly to be able to slide the pack right over one’s rolling suitcase handles. This makes my travel experience incredibly easy. Thanks for the upgrades! (Oh—and I love how this pack opens so easily and sits upright.)

I love my backpack! Fits so much and I don’t have to carry a big purse around. Went to work and the first day my two coworkers also bought one! Quality bag that seems like it will last a long time. Excellent product
