"I really wanted to love this backpack! But after 6 months of regular use I've come to the conclusion that no matter how I adjust the straps, I cannot make it fit well and feel good ergonomically. For reference I'm 6'0" and 180 lbs, and if I have anything remotely heavy in the pack (groceries, for example), it pulls aggressively backwards on my shoulders. I've choked up the straps as far as they go but that's uncomfortable in it's own way and still doesn't make the weight distribution work for me. Otherwise it seems great, built solidly, and I love that it's made locally here in Portland! But it just doesn't fit right,"
— Gabriel M. (2/5)
Bag not holding up as expected
"They seem like wonderful people, unfortunately my beautiful backpack is falling apart after about 3 months of totally normal use. About to make my second warranty request for the same bag in that time. Not what I expected for an almost $200 backpack."
— Lena J. (2/5)
Excellent Commuter Backpack
"I use this bag every day for commuting, I love it! Simple design and sturdy construction, and I love supporting Portland folks!!"
— Jamie L. (5/5)
Awesome bag
"Nice bag. Well built."
— Francis D. (5/5)
There are no inner pockets
"There are no inner pockets which in end results in less organization of stuff placed inside."
— Jeffrey A. (3/5)
Fantastic!
"I love both the Belmonts I bought, well made, handsome, and just the right size for my commuting and flying."
— Simon T. (5/5)
Great bag
"Great bag with ample space for a laptop, clothes, books and an apple! The only issue I’ve had is the strain the straps put on my shoulders. Still ironing out exact placement on my back to see if I can’t fix that, but otherwise a great bag."
— BRETT S. (4/5)
Great pack!
"As a small woman, most bags are too long and sit too far down my back to be comfortable. The Belmont fits like a glove and is a lot lighter than I expected! I’m super happy!!"
— Nicole H. (5/5)
I am so impressed with
"I am so impressed with this bag! I got it for my husband and he loved it! It is durable and will last a long time with proper care. If you buy one of their bags you will not regret it, and they make the perfect gift too!"
— Elizabeth P. (5/5)
Great backpack and love that
"Great backpack and love that it uses recycled materials."
