Cascade Getaway

My new book bag/backpack has arrived and I am in AWE!!!! If you are looking for a durable, full capacity, fashionable bag…..look NO FURTHER!!! I love mine and you will too.

After loving my travel bag for years, I needed an upgrade. I love my husband’s flexible Patagonia black hole duffle, but I hate digging around for things. I travel for stretches of time that makes it challenging to live out of one compartment. While looking for a new bag, I realized I really wanted a travel bag that had a shoe compartment. Bonus points if it could fit under an airline seat as a personal item, because I love to travel light. There are so many great bags out there right now but traveling with a backpack is so much easier than a tote. Ultimately this bag doesn’t hit all the marks — I’m kind of asking for the impossible, I realize. It only fit under a seat sometimes (yes to 737-800, no to 737-MAX) and overall the bag was kind of small for the average person. BUT! If you have only traveled with a simple backpack like me, this was a huge upgrade. So many great, thoughtful compartments! My 32 oz hydro flask has an expandable side pocket when it’s not under the seat (wow!); I could get my toiletries without disturbing my clothes (in a back zipper pocket);there are places to stash charging cables and wallets, and I could even carry a hat (pictured). Also, the bag is comfortable and I love the material. I didn’t realize I needed this upgrade! I’m happy to support this new brand.

I love the Cascade. I only love the green color. I only wish that I could have gotten the larger bag in black if I could not get it in green. I haven't used this bag yet, but when I unboxed it, my friends were in complete awe. I am looking forward to using it.
