Portland Gear Bags Now Available – Meet the Cascade Collection

Meet Portland Gear: Bags Built for the PNW and Beyond

If you’re into clean design, practical gear, and a little Pacific Northwest soul, you’re going to want to check out Portland Gear. This independent brand has been repping their hometown since 2014, and now, their bags are officially part of our store. From everyday commuters to weekend travelers, their lineup is all about function without the fuss. And yes, they look really good doing it.

So let’s talk about the bags.

THE CASCADE COLLECTION: WHERE IT ALL STARTS

At the heart of Portland Gear’s bag lineup is the Cascade Backpack, and it’s honestly a standout. Designed with Portland’s unpredictable weather and outdoorsy lifestyle in mind, this backpack nails the balance between minimalist style and real-world utility.

You’ve got a weather-resistant build, internal organization that actually makes sense, and just enough structure to keep things professional without feeling stiff. Whether you’re biking to work, hopping on a flight, or just heading to a coffee shop, the Cascade Backpack is one of those “carry it every day” kind of bags.

We’re also excited carrying the Cascade Duffle, which hits that sweet spot between gym bag and weekender. Lightweight, tough, and water-repellent, it’s a smart grab for quick trips or tossing in the trunk for whatever comes next.

If I’m being honest, you can’t go wrong with anything in the Cascade collection. Every bag, big or small, is made with the same weatherproof exterior. Thoughtfully designed interiors and wireframe openings are prevalent across the collection, meaning your stuff is organized and accessible at any moment. If you think you’re ready to get yours now, just wait until you see the color selection!

WHY PORTLAND GEAR?

This isn’t just another lifestyle brand. Portland Gear has built a loyal following by keeping things local, authentic, and intentional. Their designs are influenced by the city that inspired them, but they’re built for use anywhere, on the trail, in the terminal, or on your daily commute.

If you’re into gear that looks sharp, works hard, and comes with a little city pride baked in, Portland Gear delivers. But, trust me, you don’t need to be a Portland native to appreciate this brand.
