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

I just received the wonderful first aid kit that I won in your giveaway. Wanted to thank you so much for the kit as I never had a first aid kit. I am already showing it to all my friends who are liking it as well.

This 15 L pack holds 7+ large individually wrapped swimbaits, leader line spools, nose and split ring pliers, supporting terminal tackle, gloves, towel, scale, phone, and map with room to spare. Sturdy zippers with positive lock and fat pulls allow for fast, precise, openings and closings. No more rolltop sacks holding up the show. Superior shell materials and construction combine with the zipper system to create a compact, comfortable, and truly waterproof bag. The best backpack planetwide for focused kit boat or bank anglers targeting big bass with big baits. Hands down.

25L bag looks and feels awesome, I can’t wait to put it to use. The cordura material seems extremely durable, wont rip or show any scuffs. Nice simple touches that go a long way compared to other brands that do the bare minimum such as the inside zipper compartment along with two other compartments, the reflective logos on the outside and the added buckle and hooks on the outside of the bag for easy acesss.

4.5 stars. Great bag and excellent customer service! I bought this bag for a trip to the Galapagos and the Amazon next year, so I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it seems like a sturdy bag, and it's pretty cute. I like the texturized appearance of the Condura material but wish it came in more colours or even just a lighter beige. My only gripe is that the 20L pack doesn't have lash tabs or d-rings on the front or sides to secure gear. I know the 25L has those features, but 20-inch long bags look silly on smaller frames (I'm 5'2"), so I had to go with the 20L. It would be great if Breakwater added those features to the smaller bags or offered a shorter version of the 25L for women/shorter individuals. When I purchased the bag, I was worried that the water bottle pockets wouldn't fit my 20oz Lululemon water bottle (3-inch diameter), but I tested it at home, and it seems functional so far. The water bottle pockets have two layers of mesh and a ~0.5" thick elastic at the top, so my water bottle didn't fall out after jumping a few times, but it would be great if it went up about 2" higher. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. I would love to see more features added to the smaller bags or even a submersible fanny pack in the future.

This is a pretty great bag if you spend a lot of time on or near the water. It’s got a tough, thick, waterproof material with heat-sealed seams and a really tight zipper, so you don't have to worry about your stuff getting wet or sandy. It’s big enough for towels, sunscreen, and snacks, but not so big that it gets too heavy to carry. It even floats, as long as it's not totally stuffed. A couple of other handy features are the included zipper grease to keep it working smoothly, and the shoulder strap for easier carrying. The bottom also has some structure, so it stands up on its own on the sand, which is a nice touch. You also get a symmetrical layout of interior pockets to keep your things organized. Basically, if you want a reliable bag that keeps your stuff dry at the beach or on a boat, this one is a solid choice. Not bad for the price.

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!

This is a very high quality shirt. I would say it subtly beautiful.

It is just about the right size for bike commuting.

This kit is great to throw in the truck, boat, or backpack. Compact.

Good tee, like the black on black stiching

So I just got back from Mexico for 30 days fly fishing in the surf; highly recommend the product. Enjoyed how it complimented my system of moving my gear around. I would say that customer service is over the top. And, I received a multiple unsolicited compliments.

Quality! The details are what make this stand out. It does fit relatively snug, what most brands would call their "athletic fit". If you're in between then go up a size. Very happy with this. Will be looking forward to wearing it when it's colder.

I used this backpack as my personal carry-on for a week long cruise to the Caribbean. I took it on a diving excursion and it did great keeping everything inside completely dry! One thing about the bag though, the zippers are stiff and definitely take 2 hands to open and close (there’s a reason there’s pull tabs on either side of the zippers). I saw this as more of a plus for this trip though, in the airport and traveling in the streets I didn’t have to worry about anyone getting into the bag without me knowing! My mom said she had Yeti coolers with zippers that were stiff like this though and there is a lubricant that can be put on to make it easier to open and close, I’m fine using it without though.

It's absolutely amazing so far. I've yet to get it close to it's capabilities, but I love how heavy duty it is, from the materials to the zippers and the welded seams. For gigs I carry all of my vital electronics, microphones, chargers and other tech in it and I've never been more confident. Just how much effort it takes to unzip the zippers is awesome. I'm definitely happy.

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

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

We recently took a trip to the British Virgin Islands and stayed on a boat for several days. We bought this because we were worried about traveling to and from the boat via the dinghy and getting our phones, towels, and money, wet. It kept everything bone dry even through a downpour and a swim from boat to shore, one day. We were pretty nervous about swimming with it but it not only kept everything completely dry but also acted as a bit of a floating device (do not recommend putting the pack ON your back while swimming). Definitely a great purchase!
