Portland Gear Cascade Backpack

Best versatile carryall for commuters and frequent travelers.

This is the ultimate 'Mary Poppins' bag for commuters who refuse to pack light. Its clever wireframe opening and structured base make it incredibly easy to load, though the rigid frame means it lacks the slouchy, minimalist profile of a traditional daypack.
