In an age where customer service seems impossible to receive, your kind and thoughtful ability to supply a replacement bag was wonderfully generous and helpful. Thank you so much.

Writing as a Divemaster, marine ecologist, and full-time PhD student who spends months of the year collecting data in the field. While I've yet to drag this backpack through its paces out on a fieldwork season, I've been pleasantly surprised with how robust it has been as an EDC backpack in adverse winter conditions. It's burly and rugged, and has a functionally minimalist design with plenty of external lash points and additional features. I picked this bag over alternatives such as the Patagonia Guidewater line or the Fishpond Thunderhead primarily because of its built-in laptop sleeve and double airtight pockets (one main compartment and one outside compartment). I don't regret this decision at all, and am pleasantly and plentifully surprised at how well-made and thought-out this product is. My only gripe so far is how small the external water bottle sleeves are—none of my water bottles fit in them, but it's also hard to whine about a feature that none of the other submersible packs on the market even have to begin with, so I digress. The hingeless carabiners are also sleek and functional and don't feel disposable. In short, this bag seems perfect for my demanding use cases, and my only suggestions are 1) bigger/more expandable water bottle sleeves, and 2) a clearer picture of Breakwater Supply's commitment to conservation and sustainability and how their products and materials reflect this focus. Thank you for this backpack Godsend!

Great service and awesome products

Just get my shoes, i like it so much. It is so comfortable 😍

Has everything I need for trips in the woods . It's a very good kit for hunting, fishing, outdoors, and snowmobile trips or ATV . The bag is small and flexible. Easy to pack with other things . Supplies are good quality. Bandages are always a must and there's plenty. Survival equipment I am surprised by , in a good way. I spent a lot of time in the outdoors. Good to have that stuff and be prepared. Overall great kit and plan on keeping with me on my trips.

I'm on or near the water everyday. I like to surf fish, kayak & boat and the need for waterproof gear is an absolute must for me. To be able to carry a first aid kit of this caliber inside a waterproof backpack where I can stow a lot of other gear makes my life around water very enjoyable and i don't have to stress about getting my gear wet.

Great product and great customer support! :)

Being included in early look tests with pre-release version of this bag. you are going to flip.out…If you carry critical gear to wet environments this will be your last bag.

full of great supplies - anything you could possibly need - and so compact!

I’ve had this bag for a little while now. When it arrived I was very impressed with the quality. The back and the straps have neoprene padding and are comfortable to wear. You can use your touchscreen through the clear pocket. The quality of the materials used and the seams were good quality. Since receiving it I have done some testing and it has held up very well. I took it with me on a hike through the snow loaded with extra layers, a first aid kit, and my camera. The bag kept all my gear dry and was very comfortable during the hike. For my second test I stressed the seams to see how well they held up. I overloaded the bag and also pulled at the seams. The seams held up very well and there were no leaks afterward. For the final test I filled up my bathtub and completely submerged the bag. This test revealed small holes in the phone packet due to the way it was packaged for shipping. I reached out to the company and was quickly sent a replacement bag and they fixed the problem with the way it was packaged. The replacement bag had no holes and was waterproof as advertised. All in all it is a good looking high quality bag from a great company. I highly recommend this bag.

Very good product. It is well made and has a lot of content.

The bag is big, so i can fit my wetsuit inside, and it has a lot of cool features inside and around it (waterbottle, clipse, etc..).

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

We run an all-weather camera delivery in NYC. Seven days or a week rain, shine or blizzard. We immediately knew we were dealing with professional grade gear when we opened the box, these bags are seriously constructed and for our purposes, keep very expensive camera gear bone dry after 10 hours out in the rain. That being said, they did not completely forget about the style end of things , the backpack does not look like a rubber dry-bag and can totally be used as an every day commuter backpack etc. So it’s pretty much consensus amongst those who review these products that they are an extremely high-quality product, recently we had a zipper issue and I got to experience the customer service end of the Breakwater brand philosophy. Super supportive, knowledgeable and ultimately resolved our issue immediately and with full satisfaction. They really went above and beyond making sure we were 110% happy, and as a result of combining top shelf quality products with missionststement of full client satisfaction have created a lifelong customer out of me. Can’t wait to get a new round of bags for our growing business in some of the new colors, thanks again Breakwater. Jules
