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.

Any waterfowler knows the importance of keeping gear dry. Rather if it’s camera gear, or shells. The fogland backpack has allowed me do so. In fact, it has allowed me to chase more birds in the rain, sleet and snow without my gear being ruined.

This bag is comfortable, ease to use, cool, and kept my gear dry and safe!! The green color is beautiful!!!

This is a really nice beach bag and I have been very impressed by how practical it is for water trips. It is really amazing how this bag stands up to water and sand because I have taken it out several times to the beach and even on a small boat ride and nothing inside has ever gotten damp. I got this to keep personal items including electronics like my phone, earbuds, and power bank protected, and it has been great for that. The waterproof zipper seals tightly and the shoulder strap feels comfortable enough to carry even when the bag is packed full. The IP68 rating seems accurate because I have accidentally splashed it a few times and the water just rolls right off without soaking in at all. The bag is quite well made and robust with thick materials that feel tough and built to last. The seams look heat welded rather than stitched which adds confidence that it will stay sealed long term. I like that the bottom panel has some structure so it stands upright when placed on the sand, making it easier to find things without the bag collapsing. The interior is spacious enough for towels, sunscreen, snacks, and a change of clothes while still leaving room for smaller valuables. After using it a few weekends in a row, I can say it has performed flawlessly and looks almost new even after being exposed to salt air and bright sun.

Nice little pack seems well built

This was my impulse buy of the year probably. I ride standup jet skis, and hate having to go back through the no wake zone just because I’m gassed and need water. Crashed tested and approved this thing freaking rocks

Been using it every day and it holds up.

Perfect size for a day trip on a boat in the islands!

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!

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!

A company always stands out by the way they treat you with repeat purchases or post purchase issues. This company among many, shines. Not many in this realm shine this bright though. They're clothing line is plentiful and their emergency kits are thoroughly thought out and designed to take care of you even in the field. They're extensive and have everything you'd need on a bad day, even the unexpected items. They're prices are honestly extremely reasonable as well. Trust this company for your survival needs! Not alot of kits come as waterproof systems.

Amazing back pack for water people; nothing like it out there. It is worth the money.

This is an amazing bag, but the customer service was top tier!

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

These little guys are handy and useful for many things while adventuring. Functional and versatile to have in the kit.

This backpack is amazing at doing it's job. The waterproofing works flawlessly! Even though the plastic makes it hard to use at first, it eventually loosens up with use. For anyone wondering, the built in laptop holder is perfect for 14" laptops. Otherwise, I wouldn't try putting anything bigger than that.
