Introducing the Portland Gear Cascade Leatherlite Bags

Portland Gear Leatherlite: the evolution of the Cascade collection.

The Portland Gear Cascade collection just leveled up. Meet the Cascade in Leatherlite, a fresh take on Portland Gear’s flagship backpack, compact backpack, and kit now made with premium vegan Leatherlite material. This updated build keeps the Cascade’s smart design and everyday versatility while shedding serious weight, 48.8% lighter than traditional leather, without cutting corners on durability.

Leatherlite vegan leather gives you the textured look and feel of real pebbled leather, but with easier care, scratch resistance, and water resistance that holds up to daily use. That weight savings translates into real comfort, whether you’re carrying it on a commute, packing for a weekend trip, or hauling gear across campus.

You’ll still get the Cascade’s signature features like a wire-frame pop-top opening for easy access, organized compartments, reinforced stress points, and water-resistant protection. The LeatherLite upgrade simply makes it lighter, tougher, and even more stylish for everyday life.

This new drop is available now online at Stiles Supply Co. so you don’t have to wait around or chase it down elsewhere. If you’ve been eyeing the Cascade, this is the version that’s built to go anywhere with less weight on your shoulders. All while bringing class and style with sustainable vegan leather.
