Customer photo review of Cascade Kit - Standard

Kim A.Verified

The waterproof fabric is a great choice for a toiletries because it is so easy to clean. The bag is very roomy and well organized yet it fits perfectly into my Cascades backpack which I also love. Both are great pieces for organized and no worry travel.

Customer photo review of LED Portland Sign

Ursula C.Verified

My husband and I bought the neon Portland sign as a Christmas gift for our oldest son who is a senior is high school. He’s planning to go to college out of state but has been a Portland Gear fan for years and loves his home state so This sign is the best reminder of both worlds. It arrived at the end of his bed on Christmas morning, was a hit then and is gracing our piano until he moves. Thank you!

Black hoodie is one of my husband’s favorite to wear and I’ve been looking for years to replace his old one. This one was perfect and he instantly loved it.

Sahnya G.Verified

I’ve had a lot of various bags and packs with various focus: knitting bags, hiking packs, on an adventure bag, and construction site friendly bags for meeting clients and subs. This pack can do it all. Though I did get the large in a different color too … because choice is fun. Ample pockets, waterproof, and able to open wide and stand tall. These are all elements that make this not a single activity bag but an all activity bag. The biggest challenge … what color, what size. I’d recommend gettin...

Allen D.Verified

Honestly, I was skeptical, but the price was right. I've been very pleased (apart from the very slow shipping, which it turns out was from literally two blocks down the street). The bag itself functions excellently and looks pretty good. The features on the current version would be nice to have, but again, this bag at this price is a steal. It has become my "going around town" bag and will 100% be my carry-on for travel. I am looking forward to repping PDX with this bag when I am out of town.

Mckenzie K.Verified

Love this bag! The color is gorgeous (much more golden than it appears in my photos - the marketing images are true to color). It feels good to bike commute with my laptop in my backpack with confidence that it will stay dry. It all holds a surprisingly large grocery haul and will stand upright as long as there are at least a couple things inside. The only thing I would add is a reflective element on the front so I can be more visible at night.

I serve on a medical mission team; we were in Guatemala last week and the backpack was just what I needed to safely carry my equipment. The large top opening made it easy to access supplies and to store more than my previous backpack.

Overall I am very happy with this purchase. The Portland Gear P has definitely become an iconic symbol along with the Trailblazers and other known Pacific Northwest trademarks. The hat feels high quality the stitching is impeccable

Cinda H.Verified

I just got the compact backpack today and love it! I put all my usual day travel items in and they fit fine with room for plenty more! I am planning to take it on an overseas trip and like all the travel friendly and safety features including the back hidden zipper area and handle snap that keep items theft resistant. Back straps fit great and I appreciate the chest strap addition 😊

Saw the Portland hat on the Bill Walton 30 for 30. One of his buddies was wearing it. I knew I had to have it and I love it. Fit great, even looks good on me.

Got this just in time for my trip to Costa Rica! It’s the perfect oversized shirt to wear while exploring or to use as a swim suit cover up. I always love repping Portland Gear wherever I go.

Customer photo review of Sueded PDX Carpet Hoodie

Jenna K.Verified

Went up a size to make sure I could pull off the boyfriend's hoodie look. That was perfect for hiding my swimsuit and it even covers my butt when I'm just standing around. I love the design, though I am super worried about the longevity of screen-printing. I'm hand washing it inside out to make sure that I can keep PDX's carpet with me for years to come!

Robin B.Verified

Great size for work and casual travel. Would love a flat back zipper pocket. I think a bit more width on the back strap would be helpful for putting it over a wheeled piece of luggage. It was tight when the bag is full. Same would go for the bottle holder on the sides. Otherwise great and I may order the smaller version for an everyday bag!!! More colors please and maybe a slim crossbody to match!☺️

My family of 6 are in Japan right now. We are from Beaverton. 5 of us have Portland Gear backpacks. I need to buy one more for my son! We all love our backpacks!

I absolutely adore this bag! I’ve used it a grand total of ONE day and it’s my favorite bag EVER! It’s roomy, comfy, and a beautiful “cloud” blur. I have no issues with it. Gorgeous construction…very sturdy.

Terry C.Verified

The restock wait definitely did not disappoint. This bag is a must have for every occupation and lifestyle. It is extremely roomy and lightweight, the padded straps are wide and comfortable, zippers are strong, not flimsy. It’s a purchase you’re not going to regret! Go for quality over quantity look a-likes. Enjoy!

Marta C.Verified

Where can I begin to express how much I love this backpack?? Not only the fact that we, as proud Washingtonians, like to support local businesses, but The design and the quality of this product are absolutely fantastic!! Just beautifully built, very practical and very well appealing to the eye overall. Taking it out now for its first ride to Italy and can't wait to come back to the US to order another one for myself as my husband already stole it from me!!

This backpack is everything I wanted and needed for my hiking girl’s trip to Utah. It is incredibly roomy, fits under an airplane seat, is comfortable and looks great. The way it opens is genius! Thank you, Portland Gear— I can’t wait to let the matching toiletries kit!

Incredible quality and an amazing fit! I’ve been looking for an Olympics hat like this for a long time! Glad I finally found the perfect one! Easy to navigate website and the shipping and handling process was a breeze. Quickly got here and was better than expected!! Love this brand

Marieelena C.Verified

Really great backpack. It’s comfortable on your back or 1strap shoulder carry. Holds a ton of stuff. I took it to Europe for a meeting and it easily held laptop, iPad, second screen, headset, snacks, water bottle and had so much more room that I threw in an extra pair of work slacks too. It could only be better with a few more pockets on the inside. I looked around a long time before I got this and I’m so glad I did. And completely filled, it fit under the seat. The top opening is PERFECT.

Brandee M.Verified

Only had it one day, but it’s the perfect backpack for my mobile office as I travel from school to school. It’s so spacious, and I’m already getting tons of compliments. I hope it holds up and I can keep this beautiful color clean. The waterproof material is awesome. The wide opening makes transitioning so easy.

Shannon H.Verified

I was waiting for the Cloud color to be back in stock, but I've been looking at this bag for almost a year. I love it! It's the perfect size for work or to carry on a flight. Super comfortable straps. The material isn't slick but has a little texture. It's great. I had a knockoff version of this for a while that didn't last. I'm so excited to have this one for years.

This is the second cascade bag that I have purchased. It’s a great bag and holds a ton! I love the new forest green color and the addition of the luggage band makes it so easy to add to the top of my rolling suitcase.

Jenny M.Verified

I was looking for a bag for traveling that was like a backpack but without a million pockets to try to remember where everything was. I searched Google, bought something off Amazon and even almost bought a diaper bag lol. But ended up back home in Portland. I stopped by Washington Square and stumbled across Portland Gear store. I was so excited. Of course this bag came up in my Google search but I wasn’t quite sure on it UNTIL I put my hands on it. It checked all my boxes! I ended up buying two...

Love the size which mine is compact and and I love the pockets and stand up on its own and especially like the inside pocket which I can store important documents or money, which I feel safe and thank you so much Portland Company for making this beautiful bag

Cody M.Verified

This is my second backpack. Got the amazing red color, compact size. Love love love these backpacks and they could sell for WAY more. Amazing quality - I almost don’t want to tell people about them because I’m afraid Portland Gear backpacks will soon take over the backpack world and - wait what am I afraid of 😝? I love my backpacks, thank you !!

Cascade Backpack - Compact

Valerie H.Verified

Perfect bag for business or personal travel! Great space for laptop, accessories, travel documents plus change of clothes. Very roomy inside to configure for whatever your needs are.Water bottle space on both sides plus front pocket for "quick grab" items. Best bag at a great price! I paid much more than this for a bag I ended up returning because it just wasn't functional. Well Done Portland Gear!

Julayne M.Verified

I'm using my new standard backpack this weekend for an overnight trip. I love how it stands and the wide opening. I have a change of clothes and 2 prs of sandals already packed, with plenty of space left (I pack with plastic bags to protect my luggage and clothes). My son bought one of these after seeing mine. We can't wait to see how.it works for him.

I decided to order the cacade kit at the last minute and so glad I did. It’s so roomy…..love that it opens wide enough to see everything and will definitely hold all the essentials I need for traveling. I plan to order another in Cloud. Portland Gear customer service is the best!

Cascade Kit - Standard

Kaelee K.Verified

OBSESSED. It can hold the BIG water bottles, slide on to your suitcase’s handle, and aesthetically slay all at once. The materials are thick and sturdy - you can tell this is well constructed and high quality! I didn’t realize how much I’d appreciate the little plastic feet until the first time I used it. 12/10 recommend.

I need to lighten the weight of my carryon luggage for an upcoming cross country trip on Amtrak. I already own the Standard size backpack and love it and have enjoyed it. I'm 75 years old and we still love to adventure & travel. I like my new Portland Gear compact Sunshine Yellow travel bag.

Angelita L.Verified

Very spacious and really well made/finished. Not exactly anti-theft but it can be secured with a lock on the zipper pulls for peace of mind when traveling. Bought them for my husband and teenage daughter and they both love them.

Sharon Y.Verified

For reference, I’m 5’1”. Love my new backpack. I happened to see the store when I was in Portland last week. Jill and Maya were super nice and helpful. The backpack checks my requirements: sternum strap, luggage sleeve, side drink pockets, laptop sleeve, outer pouch, and a couple of small inner compartments. There’s even a “secret” pocket on the back/side. The grab handles are great, too! I used the backpack the remainder of our drizzly visit and on the trip home. A great travel backpack and ...

Ethel A.Verified

I was in Oregon for a spring break vacation and my friend that lived there decided to show me around. We then landed on Portland Gear store at the mall and omg I loved it. The quality of the crewneck was outstanding. I would definitely buy another item once I come back for another vacation.💅

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 ❤️

Jenny H.Verified

Such a well made bag-the 2 year warranty tells you their confidence in the quality of the stitching! Everyone thinks about the rain but the waterproof function was also great for the beach! Beautiful color, durable material which is easy to clean and it’s very comfortable. It fits so much without feeling like it’s going to burst which is great if you are traveling with little ones! It opens wide which gives you easy access to everything at the bottom of the bag but the downside of the zipper des...

Jillian K.Verified

Great bag! Fits everything I might need for a day and more. Holds my 15'' laptop with room to spare. Comfortable on the shoulders and very lightweight when not completely full. Wire frame pop top is definitely my favorite feature and makes retrieving items easy. Looking forward to all the use I'm going to get out of it!

I am 70, I have only traveled to US states for friends & family. This week I am going to CA to go to England & Scotland for a 2 week trip. I am practicing packing today in order to plan using my new Portland backpack. I’m very interested in purchasing the new compact in Cloud. Thank you
