TIPS TO INCREASE YOUR GEAR'S LIFESPAN:
-
Machine wash in cold water and lay flat or hang to dry. This will help keep your gear the same size and prevent shrinkage.
-
Wash bright colored gear with similar colors, turn your gear inside out, and be careful of excessive sun exposure. This will help keep your gear the same color and keep prints from fading.
-
Avoid using fabric softener because it coats the technical fabric and inhibits its wicking capabilities. This will keep your gear at optimal performance.
-
Use mild or natural detergent. This will help keep your garments soft and comfortable.
Always check the care and content label for specific information on how to care for your gear. We have laid out the best practices based on the products material make up. Please see images below on where to find these instructions.
If issues still occur after following these practices, please contact us.

User friendly website! Quick delivery! Looks just as ordered! Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I have no doubt that it will be great! I hit the olive green back pack. Seems great quality

It's the side pockets for me; big enough for a water bottle, deep enough to hold your phone without falling out. Perfect for commuters, travelers, or every day. Seems very sturdy and well-made (we're only one week in).

I bought this to use as my "personal item" along with a backpack for a 3 month tour of Europe, eastern Europe and the Balkans. It holds a lot and looks lovely. I was happy it arrived just in time yesterday for my trip starting Monday.

Love the “pop open” feature and handles which makes it more than a backpack !!!!

I have used this bag for several weeks now including an airplane out of state. The bag has performed well caring a 17 inch laptop, tablet, cloths and as a daily bag to and from work, two different jobs that require unique carry items. I find everything easy to access and the bag easily holds my needed items. Love the wide mouth opening and the stand up on its own was the selling feature for me!
To make it easier to see item in the bag, a lighter colored lining would help. I would like a few more organizational pockets such as pen/pencil, key lanyard and another deeper pocket. I find the D-rings on the straps to ride high when the bag is loaded on my back. For me, longer padded straps with the D-rings more towards the bottom of the straps would be useful. The sternum strap also rides a bit high for me even when in the lowest position.
Perhaps the bag just does not fit me perfectly, but I will keep it and put it to good use!

I am very happy with my backpack. It has been raining a LOT here in California and I haven't worried about that since my backpack is water proof! It is very roomy, fits my laptop and everything else I carry with me to work. Nice padded straps and plenty of pockets.

Amazing gear! I love it all and can't wait to order even more

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.

I like that the bag can stand up in its own and stays open when unzipped. I think that the straps could be a bit nicer. They feel very cheap. The interior on the black bags would be could be a different color to help with organization and it would be great if there was more organization in the main compartment. Side pockets are nice. The front zip and handle? Are appreciated. I wish that there were more pictures on the website for this bag. Like the inside of the bag, the back entry, the small front zip, packing examples/things that could fit in a full pack. Definitely lacking.

I love this bag I use it everyday. I'm very glad I ordered it for myself..

Okay, so I've have a few things to say about this product:
The product is well made and wonderful to use. I like how I am able to see everything from the top when I open the backpack.
The marketing about the back zipper to access your "secret stuff" was a little misleading. I initially thought that the back zipper would be a secret pocket that you can stash your things in there, and didn't expect to be able to access the main compartment. It's a nice touch, but if I wanted to store small things like a wallet or a passport, I'd have to fish around the bottom of the main compartment to access the stuff, or reach deeper into the backpack to grab the items from the inner pockets (but that would be redundant at the point since it would be much easier to access the inner pockets from the top of the backpack).
There's a pocket (?) at the front of the backpack sealed with velcro, and I did not know what that was and what it was for (what is it for?)...I don't think it was mentioned in the product description (if it was, I wasn't aware of it). When I first interacted with the velcro part, I thought it would be some kind of attachable sling you could take off!
I appreciate the extra large pockets for water bottles. I like to bring my coffee mug and water to work everyday and they fit nicely as they should.
This backpack is marketed as "being able to stand on its own" and for the most part, that remains true. However, upon testing, I found that the backpack will sometimes fall to the side if there isn't proper weight distribution in the main compartment (when closed). This isn't usually the case when it's opened, but I kind of expected the backpack to be able to stand upright on its own when closed, too.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with the backpack. Build quality and material is very good. I like supporting small businesses when I can, and I hope that your business will continue to thrive and prosper.

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 was looking for a waterproof backpack that could work for hiking, as a camera bag in wet weather, and as an airline carry-on. I fell in love with this bag from the moment I opened the package. I love the color (olive green), the feel of it, and the fact that it can stand up on its own without falling over. Can't wait to test its waterproofness (is that a word?!)!
Bill K.
Really like the space for the laptop, water bottles, and how the top closes!

I got the backpack to replace another since my work laptop is so big, and often hinders my ability to properly use some 'standard' styles. IG served me an ad for this one, and I was immediately interested in the wide Frame opening and the waterproof quality of it. Plus the otherwise simple design (I can't hide a bunch of things in a ton of pockets, I will never find them again). I read through reviews and did some research, and ultimately was really impressed with the price point and the design both. I received the product super quick, and I love it. To speak towards other reviews on the water bottle pocket: my 24oz Owala bottle fits just fine, which is what I travel with most. While I have not put it to use yet, I know it will be great. The ordering and everything has been great so far. Off-hand the only feedback I have is: 1) explain the front velcro pocket/handle's intended use on the site. I like it now that I can actually see it in person, but it was never mentioned or highlighted on the site or in socials that I saw. the handle itself confused me in photos. 2) confirm dimensions with under-seat airline use, as that is important to note if this can be used for personal item 3) add a luggage loop on the back possibly? I realize this is mostly being marketed as a commuter style backpack, but luggage loops are pretty essential these days + waterproof designs lean into travel really well.

Great backpack

Always satisfied with my orders ❤️❤️❤️

I ordered this shirt for a friend because the slogan on the back reminds me of her and the struggles that she has gone through and overcome. The quality (as with every other PG product I’ve gotten) is top tier. It got to me in Wisconsin SO FAST- I was very impressed. They also threw in a sticker which now holds a place on my water bottle. Love everything about PG and their products.
