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.

I've had my breakwater supply Explorer for about 6 months. I live in central Florida so the waterproof-ness gets a workout. I've been traveling all over the world with it and it has proven time and time again to be a reliable travel companion. Some of the stitching was coming loose on the top handle - I reached out to customer support via their website to report it. They responded in less than 24 hours and after providing a few more details a new bag was in the mail and heading my way. I'd happily recommend this bag to friends, family and everyone else!

Simple, clean, and it protects. Perfect if you don't want to think about getting stuff wet ever again.

This bag is awesome! Did exactly what we needed to do while in the mountains of the Dominican Republic. We literally let the bag float around in the springs while we jumped from spring to spring. It is not 100% waterproof as you can't sink it underwater and guarantee nothing won't get a little wet but it will float and keep your stuff dry from the splash and the rain which we were caught in while trekking back down the mountain. It is a really good quality bag.

I haven’t used it for that long, but the quality looks/feels nice. The zippers need a bit of a tug to open, but there are loops that help with opening the zippers easily. It looks waterproof, but I haven’t tested it yet.

New review: Top notch quality is one thing this brand does, but doing it repeatedly is what sets this brand apart. I would trust this brand with the safety of high value equipment transportation. Earlier I left a review at one, stating that it never arrived in the mail. This was due to me not physically being at that address and having to have someone look for me. Turned out it was delivered.

Great waterproof backpack. It fits everything I need. Protects my stuff from rain. It's awesome.

All great and waterproof

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!

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.

Perfect truly waterproof backpack, excellent storage space and comfortable.

Amazing backpack. I bought the 20l size, because wanted to use it even when going on my daily commutes and not to feel like I am having a hiker backpack on bag. This backpack didn’t disappoint. Great quality. The zipper needs getting use to

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

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!

Awesome bag and no more worries in the rain or on the boat! I've had multiple strangers stop me to complement the bag and ask where I got it. I did have one small issue with the first one, but after contacting Breakwater Supply they immediately sent out a replacement bag with a prepaid mailing envelope to send back the original. I was amazed at their fast and immediate response to my email. Fantastic customer service and they really stand behind their products!

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.

Good little kit. Light sticks are a nice to have when off shore, and having a small multitool is good too. Emergency things like poncho and blanket are must haves and usually not included in basic kits. Everything packs in tight in the dry bag too.

This product is amazing to have on the boat. It has everything in it. I would order again in a heartbeat.
