I bought my bag through the Kickstarter campaign. It totally meets and exceeds my expectations at first blush. It seems to be of terrific quality, and is certainly the best bag I’ve bought on Kickstarter to date. I can definitely see it being a hit with people who spend a lot of time around water. I closed the zipper and it retained the air inside, and like on the video I was able to stand in it and the air did not leave the bag. Love the small details like the phone pouch with the clear plastic and the water bottle holder on the other side. I also love the computer pouch inside- will definitely keep the electronics safe. Very glad I got the blue- it’s very pretty. And the thinner material c/w the black still seems plenty tough enough- although time will tell. It may be a limited run though. Have not loaded it up and carried it for a long time to see its comfort, but the straps and the back panel seem well made and likely will hold up with protracted use. The campaign was super slick and smooth and the product came through very quickly and 100% on time, something that cannot be said for most of the KS campaigns. Even my wife loves the bag, and she can be quite fussy around this stuff. All-in-all very very happy. Wish all the KS products could be as good. Well done guys (and gals).

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.

This backpack is amazing at doing it's job. The waterproofing works flawlessly! Even though the plastic makes it hard to use at first, it eventually loosens up with use. For anyone wondering, the built in laptop holder is perfect for 14" laptops. Otherwise, I wouldn't try putting anything bigger than that.

Really stylish and cool

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.

I used this backpack as my personal carry-on for a week long cruise to the Caribbean. I took it on a diving excursion and it did great keeping everything inside completely dry! One thing about the bag though, the zippers are stiff and definitely take 2 hands to open and close (there’s a reason there’s pull tabs on either side of the zippers). I saw this as more of a plus for this trip though, in the airport and traveling in the streets I didn’t have to worry about anyone getting into the bag without me knowing! My mom said she had Yeti coolers with zippers that were stiff like this though and there is a lubricant that can be put on to make it easier to open and close, I’m fine using it without though.

Love the durability, waterproof bag. Light and comfortable. Trying it out for my Bali holiday.

I highly recommend this waterproof bag! My family has a total of 4, and have put them to the test during a rainy track season in the Midwest. They also survived the hurricane deck at Cave of the Winds while visiting Niagara Falls--everything inside the bag has stayed dry in extremely wet conditions. I would recommend these bags to anyone. The size options are great, and totally worth the price.

Awesome packs. Took packs straight to Alaska bushwhacking, fly fishing, kayaking and boating. The packs took it all is stride. Completely durable & waterproof!

Haven't had to test it all out yet, but it's great! And has scissors, not all all first aid kits do! The portable saw looks a little worrisome and wouldn't rely on it for creating stints however.

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 !

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.

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

The straps are large strong and really high quality. I had lost one of mine that came with my River backpack, but upon my request these were made available through the website. I'm so grateful that this company is so accommodating.

Comfortable
