I'm a full-time photographer and am often out in rain, water and on sandy beaches. I wanted an adequately sized waterproof backpack to protect my gear, and the Breakwater 25L backpack seems to hit all the checkmarks. I really like that I can also confidently rinse any sand off the backpack when returning home from the beach. Comfortable to wear and has both interior and exterior zipped and pocketed compartments to store smaller items and laptop/iPad, etc. Others have mentioned struggling to close zippers, and yes, they need a good tug to close. There are grippable loops to help open and close the zippers, so that's been a non-issue for me. Great product at a reasonable price to protect my very expensive photography equipment. I also plan to stash a spare set of dry clothes for my more adventurous outings because everything will fit!

It is way smaller than the pictures but complete.

Use this as my fishing bag, love it. Enough room for multiple boxes, plus my scissors, pliers, measuring tape, etc. as well as snacks, my raincoat, and other misc items. Love it

This bag is perfect, and I don't say that lightly, I'm super picky and this bag has met all of my expectations: 1. The material is incredibly durable 2. It really is water submersible 3. Super comfortable 4. Spacious but doesn't make me look like I'm an overpacker even though I am it just gives a sleek look. The company is also amazing, you can tell they really car about their product and go to great lengths to make sure the customer is getting what they paid for if not more. I've contacted their customer service before and they responded in 1 day and solved my problems instantly. I began to look for this quality of companies when I shop.

These bags are truly waterproof! We have put them to the test during a rainy track season in the Midwest, and while visiting Niagara Falls--everything inside the bag has stayed dry in wet conditions. I would recommend these bags to anyone. The size options are great, and totally worth the price.

Great little waterproof bag which has everything first aid you need. Light and perfect for any outdoor activity.

Great quality, perfect size. Yes, zippers can take a little bit of effort to pull but there are loops to hold that helps. After all it is waterproof! Exactly what I needed for a trip to Alaska - in a temperature rain forest. Thank you!

Amazing backpack purchased after thorough market analysis. Love the design and practicality. I use it daily for work / leisure as well as for kitesurfing in all conditions. One needs to get used to the hard zipper and check it constantly not to compromise water resistance. Overall materials and performance are simply great. Customer service provided assistance immediately when needed. Could not have asked for more 🙌 .

We recently took a trip to the British Virgin Islands and stayed on a boat for several days. We bought this because we were worried about traveling to and from the boat via the dinghy and getting our phones, towels, and money, wet. It kept everything bone dry even through a downpour and a swim from boat to shore, one day. We were pretty nervous about swimming with it but it not only kept everything completely dry but also acted as a bit of a floating device (do not recommend putting the pack ON your back while swimming). Definitely a great purchase!

awesome backpack! was comparing this one to some of the competition like $300 the Yeti Panga. I was able to check out the Yeti at a store and The Breakwater Supply bag has the same if not BETTER quality than the Yeti backpack and only for a fraction of the cost! I would highly recommend Breakwater Supply waterproof backpacks to anyone looking for a fully waterproof submersible backpack.

That’s a wonderful bag that I decided to keep to go to work as I walk to work and currently live in Scotland. I also did day hiking in mountainous terrain and it was fine (of course it was not heavily charged). It can host a lot of stuff (sometimes too much!), contrary to most backpacks of the same volume, thanks to its format. It is also crafted with care, so should last for a while.

This bag will serve a dual purpose 1) travel either airlines or my car 2) to be placed in my basket on my E bike to go to the Lighthouse in the winter. It gets cold and windy at the top of the lighthouse. I dress down for my ride there but, need extra things at the top. So just to see how much I could take if needed I stuffed the bag. The following all fit in.; extra pants, long johns, rain jacket (Columbia fairly heavy), super thick sweatshirt, an additional pull over sweatshirt, knit hat, ear muffs , scarf, wool socks, thin socks, waterproof shoes or rubber covers (try rubber covers, galoshes for older people). Also small bicycle pump and repair tire kit. All in a waterproof bag. That keeps it shape and is very well made. Another plus it fit in my over size Electric Bike Company model R bike basket. Yet it also felt very good with great weight distribution, when I placed it on my back. Perfect as a carry on bag. By having all these options it was easier justifying the price. The old saying is “ you get what you payed for” in this case I got more in quantity, storage and waterproof. I received before the arrival date in excellent condition.' Tried to find fault with the bag. I could not. The bag has some reflective material that works well at night. If needed you can easily add a light to the bottom handle or a reflective belt around the bag.

25L bag looks and feels awesome, I can’t wait to put it to use. The cordura material seems extremely durable, wont rip or show any scuffs. Nice simple touches that go a long way compared to other brands that do the bare minimum such as the inside zipper compartment along with two other compartments, the reflective logos on the outside and the added buckle and hooks on the outside of the bag for easy acesss.

Love these waterproof backpacks, we put out laptop in our and threw it in our swimming pool, pulled it out and it was bone dry ! Fits great and heavy duty ! #SWPG Approved !

So many bags out there to choose from, this one takes the cake because of the phone pocket. Dropped my iphone in the water last summer (ended up losing it) and needed to get something so that doesn't happen again. Haven't yet had a chance to take it out but I love how it holds my iphone 13 (newest one). The price of phones are so out of control nowadays if you like being on the water, you have to get a backpack with a phone holder.

The quality is excellent, and customer service is also.

So far so good with this amazing backpack! I am conservationist, content creator/photographer that needs to be able to keep my camera, lens, drone and equipment dry. I spend 80% of my days around water and the other 20% lost in the woods. This backpack does both. I appreciate the heavy duty zippers. It hasn’t take a dip yet but I did submerge it before use to confirm it was submersible. I know when it does go in I will appreciate that it floats. There is an exterior front pocket and interior pockets for organization. The straps are comfortable for hiking. I carried a drone, two 40oz water bottles, two lens and some additional equipment on a 6 mile hike/slog. It like most back packs did get a little hot while carrying it but I’m in Florida and it was 80 degree January day. It is easy to wipe down after use and and keep clean. I didn’t know it when I purchased it but it’s definitely my new day to day adventure bag!

Breakwater Supply’s warranty process exceeded my expectations—they sent a brand new waterproof backpack right away, with only a small shipping cost on my end. I never had to go without a bag, which made the whole experience incredibly convenient and stress-free. It’s rare to see this level of customer support, and it definitely earned my trust in their products.

i'll be honest here.. first aid kits usually aren't the first thing I think of when I head out the door. but this really has everything i need. the emergency blanket, dont know that ill ever use it but allways good to have one. fits in my car pretty easy. just a good thing to have.
