Also got for emergency

Just received my Haloclines and wow they are so comfortable! I love the material and so far they have proven to be truly waterproof. Also I love the look , they match everything! Would highly recommend.

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

Nice little pack seems well built

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!

Absolutely perfect kit for the Appalachian Trail Thru hike. Hiking 2193 miles from Georgia to Maine, one can encounter a wide variety of injuries and dangerous situations. This kit has everything and then some! The water proof bag is the icing on the top and the lite weight the cherry on top!!!!! It worked perfectly as far and weight and packability. Knowing I could hang it on the outside of my pack if I needed the space was awesome. Thankful I didn’t have to use it but it will stay with me on this journey!!!

Purchased this to keep my laptop dry when I get caught commuting on my motorcycle in the rain. Does a stellar and perfect job. I think it looks cool, it's extremely comfortable, and has a nice shape. The only downside is that the thick, overbuilt zippers that are clearly meant to make a super strong airtight seal and last forever (all good things) are very stiff and loud. This can draw some unwanted attention to you in a work or school environment. I don't care though and use it for both, I love this thing to death.

This is the best backpack i have ever owned. Absolutely punished this thing every day on the water in the sun and it lasted well over three years. I spray it off to clean it. ITs that waterproof. Will always own one

Saltwater fishing all day today and the Halocline shoes performed wonderfully. They have excellent grip in slippery conditions and are extremely waterproof. Also very comfortable to wear!

So far so good with this amazing backpack! I am conservationist, content creator/photographer that needs to be able to keep my camera, lens, drone and equipment dry. I spend 80% of my days around water and the other 20% lost in the woods. This backpack does both. I appreciate the heavy duty zippers. It hasn’t take a dip yet but I did submerge it before use to confirm it was submersible. I know when it does go in I will appreciate that it floats. There is an exterior front pocket and interior pockets for organization. The straps are comfortable for hiking. I carried a drone, two 40oz water bottles, two lens and some additional equipment on a 6 mile hike/slog. It like most back packs did get a little hot while carrying it but I’m in Florida and it was 80 degree January day. It is easy to wipe down after use and and keep clean. I didn’t know it when I purchased it but it’s definitely my new day to day adventure bag!

I actually bought this after I purchased their drybag backpack, which I LOVE! I usually use it when riding my bike, but I've taken it camping and to the river several times as well. Holding up great so far! The only issue I have with the first aid kit is that it says waterproof, but I'm not sure how since the zipper looks like a normal zipper. I might test it with all the paper things taken out, so, I'll update after that. Otherwise everything included is great!

This bag will serve a dual purpose 1) travel either airlines or my car 2) to be placed in my basket on my E bike to go to the Lighthouse in the winter. It gets cold and windy at the top of the lighthouse. I dress down for my ride there but, need extra things at the top. So just to see how much I could take if needed I stuffed the bag. The following all fit in.; extra pants, long johns, rain jacket (Columbia fairly heavy), super thick sweatshirt, an additional pull over sweatshirt, knit hat, ear muffs , scarf, wool socks, thin socks, waterproof shoes or rubber covers (try rubber covers, galoshes for older people). Also small bicycle pump and repair tire kit. All in a waterproof bag. That keeps it shape and is very well made. Another plus it fit in my over size Electric Bike Company model R bike basket. Yet it also felt very good with great weight distribution, when I placed it on my back. Perfect as a carry on bag. By having all these options it was easier justifying the price. The old saying is “ you get what you payed for” in this case I got more in quantity, storage and waterproof. I received before the arrival date in excellent condition.' Tried to find fault with the bag. I could not. The bag has some reflective material that works well at night. If needed you can easily add a light to the bottom handle or a reflective belt around the bag.

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!

Been using it every day and it holds up.

Excellent back pack. Well designed. Would be better with 1 or two small pockets on outside or top, but very happy with the purchase.

Rugged and durable! This is my second Breakwater Supply backpack and their designs continue to improve. This is my go-to sailing/kayaking backpack as I trust the waterproofing more than my other bags.

Works as described. Good quality and finish.
