I've depended on a lot of water resistent and waterproof backpacks for about a year and I could tell this is the real deal. There are two requirements to be waterproof: 1. the material 2. sealing any openings (zippers or roll tops). While roll tops are waterproof, it doesn't mean the openings are completely waterproof under pressure. Also, most roll top bags are built like sacks which serve a purpose but don't make good day packs. However, this bag uses drysuit zippers. But it also has several unique features I haven't seen on a zippable pack like this: 1. two mesh water bottle hoders (while a bit small, they do stretch; see picture), a laptop divider (no padding but should still hold up) 3. Most importantly, the same waterproof zippers on the front stash pocket. I got mine in Cordura which was a 10 dollar difference but is a top notch rip resistent perofrmance fabric. Overall, I do recommend this bag but I do wish it shipped flat (can see the crease in the middle but should be fine once used) and maybe a 30L/28L version with hip straps?

I i've only heard super good things about this bag. Now I've got my own and it lives up to all the expectations.

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.

The quality is excellent, and customer service is also.

Insane bag! ALL the features are there. I am using it for outdoor activities and also school/work. You wont find another bag designed like this or with these specs anywhere else- and I've done my fair share of research. Customer service is amazing and this is a company you want to "root" for and support !

I have had two of their backpacks by now. The first was damaged in an unfortunate accident, but this one is even better than the old version. It is the only company that does waterproof backpacks with a space for a laptop at this price! I love my backpack! If you're on the fence and live in a rainy place... get one, it changed my life to have my electronics dry and safe all the time.

Excellent

Great quality and size for zodiac excursion.

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.

I’ve been using this bag 5 days a week on a boat for a year now Could not be happier. End of the day I literally spray the bag off with my camera gear in it Looks great, ultra waterproof. Best bag I’ve ever had. Year in and expect many more out of it

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

I bought these a while ago! I just got them yesterday and they are sharp looking, really nice and fit well. They are made really well too and I’m excited to wear them!

Amazing pack, and amazing customer service. Got this pack as a free replacement for one of their previous models that had a torn strap after just under 2 years of very hard use. They sent me this one and I am even more impressed with this iteration of their product. The only loss from the previous version that some might not like is that there is no longer the waterproof see-through phone pouch where another cupholder now sits, but personally that change is better for me. Cannot say enough good things about these packs or this company. Just make sure that each time you close the zipper you do so ALL THE WAY. Troy

These punch above their weight class. I wouldn't use them for any load-bearing applications, but infinitely useful for small accessory attachment. Based on that use case, durability would not be a concern.

Awesome pack! Light weight and water tight!
