Portland Gear backpacks

I bought a roll-top backpack after my 20+ year old backpack finally gave up the ghost. I thought it would be perfect for my work/gym needs. I work outdoors with a clipboard, so I didn’t need much space for that. Plus lunch and my small gym pack.

What I realized is that the roll-top is limiting since I only have so much visibility into the backpack. So I went looking again.

I found Portland Gear & realized it was what I truly needed. Although the smaller sized Cascade backpack would be fine for work, I also wanted to be able to use my bag for travel as well. Hence the Portland Cascade Getaway was the winner. The only bummer about the larger size is the limited color options.
