The challenge of anyone setting off on a waterborne endeavor is how to both keep things dry and accessible. I purchased this backpack in an attempt to solve that problem for myself and I am glad that I did. The backpack is watertight while maintaining a level of accessibility that is needed when on the water and in confined spaces. Putting this backpack in front of me in my pack raft was the perfect solution for needing to keep my camera and lunch dry, but still needing to be able to get them. Other bags require the old fashioned roll down sleeve and buckle or the US Army wet weather bag’s double cinch approach. This waterproof zipper design is far better than either of those. Additionally, to economize space in the boat (very limited on a packraft) the compression strap helps keep the bag from taking up much-needed room. The phone pouch is, by far, the best feature of the backpack. I cannot tell you how many times I have been on the water and wanted the use of my phone for maps, texts, or other things while being terrified to take it out in fear of dropping it. Waterproof or floating cases help, but it also decreases the usability of the phone. This backpack keeps the phone safe while allowing you to use it. It is even better if you have a pair of Bluetooth earphones that will allow you to make phone calls while the phone is safe in the backpack. If nothing else, this feature alone is worth the purchase of the backpack in my opinion.

This cap is worth every penny. Very functional With A Touch of Class.

It is just about the right size for bike commuting.

Really great bag! The white is more off white grey tone but it still looks clean. Straps are comfortable and the chest clip is a nice option. The pockets inside are a big plus and the overall space inside is more than I expected. I have not gotten it wet but the zippers seem heavy duty so I’m sure the seal is perfect. Thinking about getting one the black one for my boyfriend- it’s perfect for our water based jobs.

Awesome product, does its job perfectly. Using it for activities as well as office. Also, amazing customer service!

It is an awesome product. Great craftsmanship.i can’t wait to test it out more in the Pacific Northwest ,spring and fall rains.

Best backpack I've ever had. My life has already made many trips in the country and out of the country. I love it to death.

I bought this dry bag just to keep my items dry while kayaking on the lake, ocean, or hanging out on the beach. Wow, I was pretty surprised at the high quality of this bag. I love it. I placed my items inside rolled it up and carry like a backpack. I've left it out in the rain and even threw it in the water just to test it out and it actually floats. Everything stayed dry. I intended to store it inside the stern hatch of my sea kayak, but it's so damn good that I strapped it right onto the deck to save on storage space. I haven't fully submerged the bag and held it underwater because I can't really see anytime that it might be necessary or actually occur. I have purchased other dry bags specifically for kayaking and boating, this one is better than all of them. My new favorite bag. Big enough to travel with and small enough for a carry-on when flying. I really do like this bag. I'm looking for other items from the manufacturer. No issues so far and would certainly recommend this product.

Super pleased with my Breakwater Supply purchases of the first aid kit and backpack for my camera gear. It's great peace of mind to be able to be on the water with both first aid and expensive camera gear.

Tested and submerged in the pool for a few mins and no water went inside the bag.

Shipping was fast, received 3 days after ordering. Must say this is some cool outdoor gear! New hiking companion.

I fucking love it, I just wish there was one more exterior pocket towards the top for easy access to things. When your bag is on the ground in front of u (which often it is) it's much more convenient to get something quick out of a top pocket that's on the outside.. I truly believe with that addition it would be the best backpack I ever had.

Bought this as a gift and they loved it! The dry bag itself is amazing quality and there are so many things included. Super impressed and would recommend.

Ordered 3. Luv each one. Excellent product

Good quality. Good range of sizes.

Perfect size for a day trip on a boat in the islands!

This kit is crazy! It's so packed with goodies that I went through and removed some of what I didn't need, to keep the weight down. It's really waterproof, and I'm impressed with the carabiner. It says rust-proof but only time will tell. Will keep it in mind because I plan on getting more for my camping buddies.
