I searched high and low for the perfect backpack to carry sensitive camera gear onto boats that often take saltwater splash, and deep puddles where I may need to stick my bag. This is it. It's perfect. I have had the zipper give me trouble a couple times over the years, but customer service is the best I've ever seen. They replace the bag straight way. I wish all companies cared this much. Can't recommend enough!

I'm absolutely thrilled with my new waterproof backpack! As a photographer, I've had my fair share of close calls with rain and water damage. But this backpack has been a total game-changer. I've submerged it in water, worn it in torrential downpours, and even used it as a makeshift flotation device (just kidding, but it's that buoyant!) - and my gear has stayed bone-dry every time. The material is incredibly durable, and the sealing system is top-notch. I've packed my cameras, lenses, and accessories with confidence, knowing they'll be safe from the elements. The backpack itself is comfortable to wear, with padded straps and a sleek design that doesn't scream "waterproof" (in a good way). Pros: - Truly waterproof (not just water-resistant!) - Durable material and construction - Comfortable to wear - Keeps gear dry in extreme conditions Cons: - None (seriously, I'm struggling to think of any!) This backpack has given me the freedom to shoot in any weather, without worrying about my gear. Rainy days are no longer a concern - in fact, they're now an opportunity to capture unique shots without stress. If you're a fellow photographer or just someone who loves the outdoors, do yourself a favor and invest in this amazing waterproof backpack. Your gear (and you) will thank you!

Best backpack I've ever had. My life has already made many trips in the country and out of the country. I love it to death.

I use this tote for everything! It's been essential all summer. Keeps everything dry and I love the exterior pockets for wet clothes or my water bottles. It's so hard to find a waterproof tote and this one is beautiful and comfortable.

Great product and great customer support! :)

Love this bag so far. Whether I’m on my kayak or just wading, it has become the go to fishing & camping backpack. 25L is perfect size and great pocket design.

Purchased this backpack since it has been storming recently and needed to protect my electronics. Works perfectly. Initially the front zipper was extremely difficult to get open and thought I would break it if I pulled any harder but it eventually yielded. Wearing the backpack is comfortable but the inside is pretty barebones. Would have liked some softer material on the inside on the bottom for padding but I guess there are manufacturing limitations. Overall should be worth it if it protects my electronics even 1 time.

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.

Works exactly as it should. I use this as my boat bag when I dive and it is continuously punished and still holding up. Highly recommend. Very well built.

Good quality clips that work well and were exactly as I was expecting. Would recommend!

This shirt is great and fits like a slim tshirt. I've bought other products from this brand and have been impressed with their quality. This is a good product, and the stitched pattern on it is unique.

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!

nice backpack...zipper system is super cool...to top it off, the support is is awesome!

All great and waterproof

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.

Hello readers of the Breakwater Supply company reviews for the Explorer 25L waterproof backpack. I purchase my first Breakwater Supply bag in August of 2022. When it arrived in the mail it was on time with quick delivery. Showing excitement and ready to try out this new bag. Switching from a worn out a waterproof Patagonia 30L , after close to two-years of daily use. Which can be seen here on this YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFjKi95grHs YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynUjU2kMCuo The switch from the Patagonia to Breakwater Supply was helpful in keeping items separated and organized. It also stored all the personal property allowing everything to stay dry. Lowering any stress one might have when getting caught in the rain or on the boat with water splashing on deck. This is an awesome backpack for organized onshore fisherman who carry all there tackle and want to keep it dry. The primary Breakwater Supply backpack I use goes through ups and downs daily, with an average weight of ten pounds in the bag. Holding everything one might need and use for a business administrative lifestyle. Which in this case is education while in college over the next few years. Here comes the good news, this manufacture stands by there product with professional customer service and has provided a brand new Backpack after mine became damaged. If your looking to try a waterproof bag this company is offering a water tight sealed bag.

My backpack arrived a few days ago and it is the most badass looking hiking gear I own! That stealth black is sweet. Haven't gotten to try it out yet, but planning on taking it out next time it starts to snow heavy around here. Thank you guys very much!
