I got this hat in both brown and the two-tone green for my boyfriend and his brother. They both loved them so much! The hats are a great fit, stylish, and come just as pictured

This bag is excellent for an everyday carry. I use it to carry my daily camera gear, batteries, IPad and a pocket with my daily essentials (cables, etc…). Is excellent very comfortable and got space to put like a light jacket inside if necessary. Again, great bag for an everyday carry.

I needed a wide mouth pack for my camera gear. I didn't want a camera bag or anything that was obviously for cameras, and it needed to be waterproof. I tried using bags I already had, but they just didn't fit my equipment efficiently. This pack does a better job with the camera gear, and I can easily see traveling with it.

I like the material & it feels sturdy. When packed up with groceries & fastened / clipped up this bag feels well & supported against my body not jabbing my back in anyway. The way it opens is cool & convenient. So far so good. Thanks!

Love the smaller size and the strap to go on my luggage roller bag!! So happy you added a zipper pocket inside and the back hidden zipper pocket is a nice addition!! The red is fantastic!!❤️❤️

Durable and Versatile. I'm really happy with the purchase. Simple and to the point and exactly what I have been looking for. I carry all essentials, electronics, and work documents and nothing is damaged.

I bought this backpack to shuttle my lunch box and 14” laptop to and from work. And this compact backpack fits the bill perfectly! I got the cloud color which looks both gray and light blue depending on how long I stare at it. The quality is wonderful, the fabric is thick and waterproof and somehow the backpack is still light enough that it’s not a burden to carry! It fits my 30 oz waterbottle or 20oz coffee mug wonderfully! So happy with my purchase.

I love the way I can fit my phones, wallet and keys inside with room to spare. Partners perfectly with my Cascade backpack. The perfect pair for my next flight to amazing adventures.

Excellent bag! I love all the pockets and small details. My favorite part is how the bag opens - so functional. I can fit my gym clothes, sneakers, and breakfast in the compact size, which is incredible. Last brag, but I love how it can fit my 32oz Hydro in the side pockets.

I love everything about my shirt. Heavy gauge, high quality material. The texture of the rose petals is awesome. And I love the collaboration with other Creative locals. Well done! Shout out to #blackcreativecollective

I got the cascade backpack for my daughter because her other backpack was giving her back problems. She says it is the best backpack and she can fit so much in it!

I’ve had this backpack for around a month. I love the design on it and I use it everyday for school, work, and hiking. Portland Gear also has awesome customer service! My original Cascade Backpack strap unfortunately broke, I contacted Customer Service and got a new one shipped to me within a day! Awesome backpack, definitely recommend.

I’m a first time buyer. The “ mystery” purchase’s intrigued me. When I finally decided to go for it the only option was the tote. I really did not need a tote but it was too tempting. When I got it I just loved it… loved everything about it, color, size, smell. I decided I would use it to put my Grief Share leader materials to go to the weekly meetings. Perfect use for the perfect tote. Can’t wait for next years mystery sales!!

I show my dog and the last show it was raining all weekend. I was looking for a bag that was comfortable to wear, pockets and could handle the rain. The bag arrived quickly and I love it. I sent a video to my friend showing her the bag and she ordered 2! This bag is roomy and looks amazing. Highly recommend.

Love it! Got it when I got my e-bike and it's the perfect bag to ride with. Also makes a handsome work bag! It's very high quality and the standard is so roomy without being huge and bulky somehow.

Got this hat in green two-tone and brown for my boyfriend and his brother. They both loved the hats! Great fit and super stylish. Good range of colors too :)

Have had many backpacks, used mostly for work. They all turn into a "black hole" with items falling ti the bottom never to be seen. I love how much you cam fit in the backpacks and all my "stuff" is easily Accessible especially for a 2.5 h train rude tj &&u<u Only improvement and it is slight, a loop i side to connect your keys to.

Best travel experience I’ve had in years. The pockets are so well placed, there’s tons of room for all the extras and yet the bag didn’t get too heavy! It holds its shape and doesn’t get clunky or awkward.

Allison W.Verified

I bought this backpack for Portland rainy days and travel; it holds an insane amount of stuff and you can even put a paperback in one of the side pockets (and a large water bottle in the other)! I love all the handles for easy carrying.

Bonnie S.Verified

I travel a lot and was so tired of digging in my old backpack in the dark on a plane and can’t find my stuff! This just opens right up and I can see what I have and pull it out. No digging around. My large size I pad fits in the pocket and is out of the way. The bag does weigh more than my old one but it is waterproof. I wish I would have bought the lighter color. This tan looks kind of industrial for a lack of a better word right now. I might order the lighter color if my husband will take thi...

I love this Cascade Backpack - Compact in Olive color that metches one of my travel suitcases. I am 75 y.o. with the back pain and the Compact would be easier for me. I plan on using it on my trip to Europe in May this year. I am hoping it will last a long time. I am still thinking if I should also get a Cascade Backpack - Standard in black but afraid it will be too heavy for me fully packed. After testing the packed weight of the Compact in May I will make dscision.

Jana H.Verified

Up until now, I have been searching high and low for a replacement of my older, well-loved, wide-mouth framed backpack...one that meets both my work and travel needs. This fit the bill! The bag is solid and well made. The interior is spacious, allowing room for my 17" laptop, my 11" iPad Pro, multiple folders, and all the extras I carry to/from work. The bag is very light so it is only as heavy as you fill it. The extra exterior pockets are nice and roomy allowing me to go without my purse, if I...

I took advantage of the BOGO 50% off promo and bought 2 backpacks, one for my wife and one for me. It seems well made and the top opening makes so much sense. It’s the perfect size as I live in Arizona but have a second home in Portland. As I travel between homes I only need a few travel items, a light jacket and a laptop which the bag easily accommodates. The separate compartments are thoughtful and the styling is clean and spare. Love it!

Charissa M.Verified

Learned about the PDX carpet from a friend and on my most recent trip home from Portland saw the Portland Gear booth and had to get the shirt for my kiddo - who loves it! Everytime they wear it, it makes me smile because it reminds me of my happy place.

This book is an absolute must read for every High School and College student! It demonstrates how perseverance and hard work and believing in oneself can lead to a fulfilled life. It explains the experiences of anxiety in traveling the unknown and uncertain pathways in building success! It describes how a business can take off rapidly and then how does a new inventor manage this growth. It shows how you can always act respectful and ask questions or assistance!

Hi There! I purchased this bag for my niece who lives part time in Poland and part time here in the states. She is a travel agent and needs her lap top with at all times. She LOVES it!!!!! I also purchased the light blue for myself but have not given it a go yet. I better watch my niece closely, as I think she would rather have gotten the blue! ;)

I have been looking for the perfect backpack for ages, and this one is everything I could have wanted and more. Working as a traveling healthcare professional in rainy areas, I need something functional, professional, and able to hold a decent amount of things. Even as a "compact" version, this puppy will hold my laptop with the case, a large jacket, a water bottle, an umbrella, snacks, and so on. I LOVE how it can stand up and the opening stays open, so I don't have to keep digging around a flo...

Great quality hoodie, so soft. My kids are so particular with clothes these days and if they’re not comfortable, they’re not wearing it. This piece fits almost true to size, maybe 10-15% bigger than usual.

Sara Y.Verified

I love this bag! I bought both sizes with the thought of trying them out and returning the size I didn’t need. It turns out I need both of them. I use the larger one for work- it fits everything I need for work as a nurse (all my nurse things, food for 10 hours, two water bottles and a small purse). I’m hoping this will be my personal carry on item when traveling as well. I’ve used the smaller bag several times for weekend outings - to the farmers market, outside music shows and short hikes. It ...

This backpack is amazing! I'm so thankful to have a bag that's spacious, looks fantastic, and will keep my laptop dry if I have to wait in the rain for the bus after work without worrying if my umbrella is dripping on it. Plus, customer service during their black friday sale was super quick, helpful, and kind. Excited to purchase more from this company!

So durable and water resistant! Very spacious. I love the shape. Can fit my 32oz hydro in the water bottle pockets on the sides! 100% worth the money. The laptop holder is very big. Absolutely no complaints!

Bought this to travel with, love this backpack! Carries my hydroflask no problem and all my junk plus plenty of room for all my carry on needs! Completely waterproof and tough zippers, I am super hard on zippers. Highly recommend!

Best backpack I've ever had! I'm using it for work right now, but heading out on a flight in a few weeks. Can't wait to use it as a personal carry on. Color is amazing too. Perfect green as I work for an environmental consulting firm. 🌎🌲🌳

Whether you're an Oregon native, like I am, or not, the iconic Mt.Hood and green that Oregon is known for is represented in this soft and sturdy-feeling hoodie. Not to mention that it also matches my shoes! All the more reason to sport it!

Got the bag recently and am figuring out what to pack in it for an upcoming trip to New Zealand and Australia. I love the fact that the water bottle pocket on the outside is large enough for the lightweight plastic bottle I want to take. Love the opening and all features. As a solo traveler in her mid 70’s I needed a bag that would allow me to easily handle a carryon as well as personal item if I need to climb stairs if there is no jetway.

Debra B.Verified

When I travel,, my carry-on, backpack always is packed to the brim with “just in case they lose my luggage” which has happened too many times to count. Guess I’m just unlucky that way. So in my backpack, I have all my medicines, my toiletries, extra pair of shoes, neck pillow and everything else I can survive on, and just buy some clothes if necessary. So my backpack always looks enormous and unattractive and as if I am caring a duffel bag on my back. This Portland Gear backpack is so attractiv...

It’s big enough to expand but still seem small when needed. I wanted a backpack that I could put my lunch in too and this is great! I’m using this for work and I love it so far.

This is my fourth bag and love everyone of them. I have a ton of complaints on each bag. I always praise this bag and company in turn they are ordering your product as well. I don't know if I will need another bag but am sure I will continue to order them and pass my old one down to make new lovers of this product and company...keep up the good work!
