Tested and submerged in the pool for a few mins and no water went inside the bag.

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

Came as presented. Well made and completely waterproof. Perfect for taking on the boat.

Just what I was looking for. So many things are included! Great value. Perfect for boat, but can be used for home or car or short trip. Will probably pick up a couple for gifts as well.

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!

The best, most well made bag I have. I use it everytime I go fishing and never worry for my gear. Thank you breakwater for creating something that is stylish and gives me peace !

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 this backpack. I walk to work and needed something waterproof. It fits my umbrella, fold-up rain coat, rain pants, and lunch. The zippers are kinda stiff, but they will probably relax after a while. It's expensive, but definitely worth the price.

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.

I brought this waterproof tote on my Paint & Paddle adventures and to the beach — and let me tell you, it downpoured on one of those days… and this bag was a total hero!!! The waterproofing? Exceptional. My supplies stayed bone dry, and I didn’t have to stress for a second! I’m obsessed with the zippers — they’re sleek, smooth, and make it so easy to grab what I need in the moment. Plus, it’s super lightweight — I can just toss it over my shoulder and head out! This tote is officially my go-to adventure bag!! I highly recommend it — I’m a big, big fan!!!

Love the way you stand behind your products!

Gooooood

So far I have not found anything I don't like about it.

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 !

In an age where customer service seems impossible to receive, your kind and thoughtful ability to supply a replacement bag was wonderfully generous and helpful. Thank you so much.

I absolutely love my waterproof bag. I’m an avid SCUBA diver, swimmer, etc. and it works well for my needs; no leaks and easy to clean. Also it is just the right size. The price was worth it and I will purchase more products in the future.

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

This product is amazing and super impressive!!! Definitely 100% recommend!

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?

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