If you decide not to buy Unlimited Free Returns/Exchanges you can still return your items, but you will be responsible for the cost of the return shipping label.

Please note that the original shipping fee and the $1.98 charge for Free Returns & Package Protection is always non-refundable.

  • Order numbers are required for all returns and exchanges — including gifts. Gift recipients must have the original order number to proceed.

  • If it’s been more than 90 days, no worries! You are still eligible to make a return after 90 days, but instead of a refund you will receive store credit as long as the item(s) are unworn, unwashed, and has the original tags attached, we’ll issue store credit for the current value of the product.

Customer video review of Cascade Backpack - Standard - UO Ducks

Just came home from photo shoots over the weekend, and this backpack handled everything perfectly. I packed my camera gear, a 16” laptop, a jacket, and even my medication bag — and it all fit comfortably without feeling bulky or heavy. The organization made it easy to access what I needed quickly, and the backpack stayed comfortable even during long days of carrying it around. It feels well-made, sturdy, and clearly designed with lots different situations in mind. Very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it.

Customer photo review of Cascade Backpack - Standard - UO Ducks

This is my third cascade backpack. I work as a Certified Athletic Trainer and am usually outside with football. It is imperative my backpack be able to hold all my tape and supplies and this one does a fantastic job. The fact that it is also pretty much waterproof is also awesome. I love knowing my phone will be fine if it rains. I had to get the UO edition as a proud UO alumni. These are the best backpacks, they last years and have such convenient pockets, zippers, and accessibility.

I'm on my third Oregon Duck backpack. I'm sending one to my dad for father's day and sending another one to my son in-law..

Cascade Backpack - Standard - UO Ducks

I ordered the full set of luggage from Portland Gear. After I got the first backpack and saw how open it is and easy to get into, I had to have all of their offerings.The tote is perfect for getting my laptop and a few things. The toiletry bag is awesome and holds so much. The design of the opening of every one of their bags is amazing - you can easily see everything without having to dive your hand in and feel around for stuff - surprised it wasn't thought of sooner. The suitcases are just the right size, but it is the backpack, bags, and totes that I love the most. Very easily accessible. As an avid Oregon Duck fan, of course I had to buy the UO Backpack as well. I urge anyone to check out Portland Gear.
