Stays in my backpack for hiking

I have been wearing the Halocline shoe for just over two weeks now and I find them to be very comfortable and cushy. I'm able to put them on easily although I see some people complain about the narrow fit, I guess if you wear wide width shoes it can be a bit challenging. I like that they are silent on most surfaces and can be worn in various situations, whether sports, casual or semiformal. I also like the reflective drawstring, it adds a nice touch. I will definitely be wearing them often. I wish that they fitted a bit higher over the ankles to ensure that water doesn't get inside the shoe. Overall it's an excellent product and I look forward to seeing a second iteration of it.

This set includes 4 carabiners, each 2 inches long. They are made of a very light and strong plastic and include no springs. Instead, the plastic arm pushes open, and on the tip of the arm is a small groove. When closed, this small groove keeps the carabiner from sliding side to side. They seem very durable. I was able to fully push the arm in such that it touches the other side. It takes considerable effort, so this is not flimsy plastic. Based on my tests of 50 sets of opening and closing, it still seems very durable. This is a great alternative to metal carabiners, especially if you want to avoid clanking. These are obviously not rated for mountaineering or anything, though. Thanks for reading! I hope you found this review helpful!

I love the bag! Tried out the water proof right when I got home! Good storage and works like a charm! Definitely will buy the 15L when it’s available!

Just ordered this bag and had to try it out today on my paddle board. The design is so clean looking and the bag is perfectly functional. It fit everything I needed: towel, change of clothes, water bottle, snacks, sunscreen, phone, keys, and still had room to spare. Will definitely be taking this on all of my paddle boarding adventures! :)

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'm in love with a backpack :D

This backpack exceeded my expectations at all levels! This backpack is 100% waterproof guaranteed! I was walking in a heavy down pour for several hours and all my personal belongings inside the backpack were dry. It is very comfortable to use this backpack while walking for several hours even carrying heavy size items due to the padded back support. I recently travelled with this backpack and it was really convenient because the backpack perfectly fitted below the sit inside the airplane and also it fitted perfectly on top of my 20” carry on luggage (it stands up-right on its own). I love all of the small details of the backpack, such as the carabiner loops (I used them to hang misc small items), waterproof phone pocket (I can use while being outside in a downpour or water-related sport or activities), and the mesh water pocket (I use my Miir 25.3 oz water bottle and it fits perfectly) Also, inside of the backpack it has a laptop sleeve (fits my 14” laptop perfectly) which is convenient when working remotely or working on the go). Moreover, it has two small pocket organizers that is useful for small size items like carabiner loops, portable chargers, etc. Also, it has a medium sized-zipper inside which you can use to store additional items. If you’re looking for a 100% waterproof, strong material, versatile use (commute, hiking, traveling and water-related activities or sports), then this is the ideal backpack for you. P.S. The only small quirk with the backpack is that due to the welded and waterproof zippers, it is kind of a struggle to open and close the zipper. However, there’s a simple solution. You can either use a lip balm or a silicone lubricant and the backpack will open and close very smoothly. Enjoy this Amazing backpack! :)

Makes waterproof zippers work easier

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.

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

i stuffed it with containers of ice water that really put it to work testing the strength integrity and workmanship of all attachments and straps sewed and heat sealed together i found my BackPack out of all the manufacturers i carefully methodically located and purchased Break Water after reading other people’s review on and off their website on youtube videos and once home in my possession found it rugged strong robust brutal and likely to last years through the harshes environments and treatments i know i can count on Break Water additionally i purchased the first aid package i saw seemed fully capable of supplying the right people with handy supplies in the event first aid supplies is needed during my journeys Break Water yes expensive but today everything is getting more and more expensive luckily here you getting your money’s worth oh by the way i shopped this back pack because my last one which last some time but it blew out around the zipper and left a hole i don’t ever anticipate that and hope Break Water would stand behind its products in any event. thank you

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!

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 🙌 .

These are very nice shoes and they fit well right out of the box. I am usually a US men’s 10.5 and I got the 11 which fits pretty well with just a small amount of space in the toe box that makes them feel breathable without being loose. The slip-on design is convenient because I can get them on and off quickly without fighting the heel. The cushioning is impressive for something this lightweight and it gives me solid support on long walks without any soreness afterward. The sole has a grippy feel that holds well on both wet decks and rocky trails which makes them great for a variety of surfaces. They are definitely waterproof which I confirmed during a hike that included crossing some shallow water. I stepped right into the stream and they had no trouble keeping my feet dry while still feeling comfortable for the entire hike itself. The material sheds water quickly afterward and dried faster than I expected which made them easy to keep using the same day. I also appreciate that they do not develop any odor after getting wet which tells me the lining material was well chosen. After using them for boating, hiking, and even some casual errands, they have proven to be a versatile pair that I can wear almost anywhere without worrying about comfort or performance.

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.

Use onboard a kayak for emergencies. Waterproof bag seems of good quality and is a better option over hard plastic which might crack and then leak.

I bought my Fogland 25 L (in green canvas) two years ago. It is a marvellous product, technical and also nice, so much so that last year I used it to carry my laptop and day stuff to go to work in Scotland, used it for my field gear in Southern Mexico, and here in Canada to stuff my gear on kayak trips (it is huge and a lot fits inside). Everyone admires it, in town or outdoors, but even more than for its cool look, I love it for the craftsmanship. So far it looks like new, while most of similar products I have owned -and loved- started to show signs of wear and tear after two years.

This bag is very spacious and holds up well! I love it!
