Literally just like every diaper bag/backpack I’ve had except for the emergency bottom zipper (laptop sleeve in it’s place). Also waterproof and not bad for price, considering others like this can be pretty spendy.

This is the best backpack I’ve ever had. Everything stays dry and it fits soooo much!

I bought the bag before I left for England and it was so worth it! Over here we use reusable bags and or your own bag for the supermarket. This backpack has not failed me yet, everything fits so well and last night for example I bought a wok pan, a pot (medium sized), detergent, fairy liquid, hand towels, and a normal towel; it all fit! and it zipped! Again, yet to fail me! Over here it rains just about every day and you don’t necessarily know when, so it being water proof is amazing. I don’t have to stress when I do have my laptop and university work in it when I use it for school. It’s just a good bag whether you are using it for travel or day in day out.

It's sturdy, durable and holds a ton! It's my go-to for travel near and far. It is easy to carry (and comfortable to haul even when it's loaded up). We like it so much have two in our family.

Amazing bag, quality material and accessibility. Just the right amount of pockets and spaces to be a work bag and a little more.
Shinta W.
A very well-designed bag. I use it for school, work, and travel.

This is a great bag/back pack!
I love how easy it is to pack for the workday. It stands up, top stays open and there is lots of room with large pockets that fit everything one can organize it it. The waterproof zipper seals are great as is the material it's made from. I'm so glad I bought it!

Just got the new and improved Cascade Backpack and it's a definite improvement from the previous version. My laptop barely squeezed into the previous version which cut down on what else i could carry, this new one is a much better fit and the side pockets seem bigger as well (?). The only thing I miss is the interior color, the light green color made it easy to see stuff in the bag where the newer one is black. Regardless, love the bag and well done.
Lisa A.
It arrived on time
Anna K.
Bought this for my boyfriend and he’s really happy with it. He had a backpack that was a similar style but the cascade backpack has a lot more space and is durable and stylish. He said his coworkers were complimenting the new bag at work! Great holiday gift
Tracie H.
Great backpack, just what I was looking for. Very roomy and comfortable to carry.

It’s a Christmas gift so all I can say for now is that it arrived on time and looks great

Just swapped out things from my older backpack into this new one. Everything fit great and it’s ready for my next travels. Look forward to using it.

Absolutely stoked! Thank you guys!

I use mine for grocery's and other errands either on my bicycle or walking. Very practical not a beauty which lends itself to be less likely to be stolen.
Karen C.
I love how waterproof it is. And versatile pockets for all your needs.

I bought the Cascade Backpack primarily for work. I usually use tote bags, but needed something that would protect my laptop and work product from the elements (when need be). The design is simple but efficient, and the material used for the bag is sleek (doesn't pull on clothes). It looks like a "normal" sized bag, but holds more than it looks like it would. Padded slot for the laptop and plenty of room for anything else (binders, extra sweater, food). The feet on the bottom and the top-loading of the bag make it easy to pack and unpack. I'm very impressed with the zipper design ... the teeth somehow seal together, to keep rain out. Very happy!

I bought this backpack for my son who uses mass transit a lot. The waterproof feature is what drew me to it - I think he'll love it as much as I am excited to give it to him!
Leslie M.
It isthe perfect bag for me- plenty of room, water proof and versatile. Glad I got it!
Cheryl L.
My daughter loves her new backpack and is putting it to good use.
Gillian S.
I opened the large main pocket and literally yelled F**K YES! The bag I have now for travel has too many compartments and I lose my stuff and waste time looking for things.
Richard S.
I am disabled and in a wheelchair. I have been searching for the perfect backpack to accommodate my needs. This backpack provides needed structure, large compartment for carrying everything I need and I love the handles. It is exactly what I have needed.
Joel S.
Fantastic backpack. Waterproof is huge!
Kevin B.
A beautiful combination of functionality and fashion that truly lives up to the Portland and Portland Gear standard. Bring on the rain
Hannah E.
So stylish and convenient for all of my work needs!
Ian Kit N.
The simple design is great, just enough pockets and features that are essential. Also, the bag has more space than expected. Very good value for its size!
Marissa M.
Bought this bag thinking it would be a great gym bag, and i was right
Super nice and looks luxurious
Juan G.
It’s perfect. The size, materials… everything fits in it
Tricia S.
I was looking for a new backpack because the one I had didn’t have enough space for everything I needed and never fit my water bottle.
I ordered this on a whim & I couldn’t be happier!! This is the PERFECT bag for my everyday & clinical rotations while I’m in nursing school- tons of load capacity, stands up when you put it down to rummage, the right amont of pockets (love the secret one behind the small front pocket) and FINALLY water bottle holders that fit my 32oz water bottle with room to spare. The first day I used it it was raining all day and it being completely waterproof was amazing. Well done, Portland gear!!
Cynthia T.
Luv luv it!! Super comfy. Loads more than it looks. Everything a dog walker needs
Ryan B.
❤️ Love when you open this backpack up you can see everything, even small items all the way down at the bottom!! Holds a lot, easy to pack. Performs great in the rain, really like the look & feel of the material. Super comfortable on you back, straps don’t dig in. Also comfy thrown over one shoulder too. Bit worried about how big the pockets are for water bottles {designed to hold 32oz} I have a regular 24oz, holds it no problem.
My only design note would be: zipper pocket on the inside, would be nice for the items you want to keep more secure {versus putting it in the front zip pocket} yet don’t want them floating in the bottom.

I researched backpacks for weeks before making my final decision and the Cascade Backpack was everything I wanted and more! Its water resistant, has two water bottle pockets, pockets for everything from pencils and wallets, and a laptop sleeve. I especially love the fact that I can open my backpack from the back for easy access when I'm on the go. It's incredibly stylish- great for work and otherwise. So happy with my purchase and excited to return to Portland Gear for more great finds.
Donna M.
I love the backpack it’s perfect I love how it sits and it’s very roomy
Dennis Q.
The bag wears well. I was a little concerned when I received the bag as it has a top hard frame and I thought it would be heavy, but it is not. I own many bags, from designer, to functioned laptop bags. This bag has a very good. It holds a lot and I love the back side zipper, where I can get in & out of the interior of the bag without open the top zip. Only suggestions would be, I'd like a snap key holder for my keys, and if the interior pockets were a different shade, then the all black. Mine is all black, so it is hard to see the interior at times, but no complaints, just a suggestion.
Joseph G.
Love it so much I bought the other color!
Thomas W.
Great pack. Roomy and well constructed.
Megan W.
The backpack is cute and so practical! It also holds a lot items and the side pockets fit my water bottle perfectly and keep it snug!
Ashley P.

Alex A.
Already love it! Only 4 stars because I just got it - will update once I use it a bit more!
William G.
This bag caushgt my eye initially because of the unique and clean look of it. upon using it for a few weeks, ive gotta say, this bag is as functional as it is stylish. The wire top makes it so easy to get my stuff, even at the very bottom of the bag. my old backpack was such a hassle to dig around in and this is a huge upgrade. I'd reccomend this backpack to anyone.
Audrey L.
Best backpack I've owned. Everything I need fits in here, I use it for work everyday and have taken it on several trips where it holds everything I need. Also big plus that it can hold big water bottles. Very helpful that the bag is waterproof so all of my tings always stay dry. Super sleek look which I love, it will go with anything. High quality bag for all of your needs, couldn't recommend it enough!
Joey B.
Literally the best backpack. I've used it everyday for many months and it holds up great, keeps everything dry and is easy to wear. Highly recommend this backpack!
Raymond Martinez
Great Bag
Definitely worth the money on this one. Have had this in the rain and my books stayed dry. The handles are of great resistance! Packed about 40 bucks of the groceries (meat and cans) and got weary it might stretch or rip but completely held up fine. I also enjoy the fact that you can pull this bag off with slacks and a button up shirt due to the shine and classic minimal look to it. Thanks for the great bag guys!
