Two-time purchaser of this. Both are great quality. It's a heavyweight sweatshirt, which is what I like the most about it. So far the first one has held up and would expect the same from this one.

I'm in love with a backpack :D

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?

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.

All the way from Holland I am writing my excitement for this bag. I cannot wait to test it in BALI this January. And I mean, really test it. I've got water canyoning, mid quad rides and more planned. I am raving on the fact it's total waterproof and so far all the material seems of great quality. I wanted a bag that could last through everything on my day hikes. So I have cubes for my drone, lumix camera and action cam that devide the internal space. Then there's enough space left for a quick dry towel and everything. I'm a fan!

Good but colour was darker than I thought

GREAT KIT! Has just about everything. I remember buying a survival bracelet years ago for about 15 bucks and there's one actually included in this kit and this one has a small compass and space for some tiny fishing tackle. The one thing it may be missing to be actual survivor worthy is a packable shovel and larger knife. the shovel can be makeshift and the knife I usually carry my own anyway. Other than that this is a really solid kit for price.

this is a dream bag. lightweight, strong, durable! great buy...TY

Breakwater Supply’s warranty process exceeded my expectations—they sent a brand new waterproof backpack right away, with only a small shipping cost on my end. I never had to go without a bag, which made the whole experience incredibly convenient and stress-free. It’s rare to see this level of customer support, and it definitely earned my trust in their products.

Very handy well made accessories

My backpack arrived a few days ago and it is the most badass looking hiking gear I own! That stealth black is sweet. Haven't gotten to try it out yet, but planning on taking it out next time it starts to snow heavy around here. Thank you guys very much!

I searched high and low for the perfect backpack to carry sensitive camera gear onto boats that often take saltwater splash, and deep puddles where I may need to stick my bag. This is it. It's perfect. I have had the zipper give me trouble a couple times over the years, but customer service is the best I've ever seen. They replace the bag straight way. I wish all companies cared this much. Can't recommend enough!

Great quality, perfect size. Yes, zippers can take a little bit of effort to pull but there are loops to hold that helps. After all it is waterproof! Exactly what I needed for a trip to Alaska - in a temperature rain forest. Thank you!

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

Absolutely LOVE this bag! The zippers might initially feel a bit hard to work with but after using it a few times and using the zipper glide it is a breeze(and I am a woman so it is totally doable for girls too!). The straps are very comfortable and the bag has a lot of room! The orange color is beautiful and easy to spot! Super excited to take it on outdoor adventures as well as doctor appointments since it is easy to clean!

The backpack was tested in real conditions, including hiking in rivers and canyons with waterfalls, where I needed to swim to navigate difficult passages. The backpack was fully submerged in water, and its contents remained completely dry and well-protected.

Bought this bag as a comparison to a few others on the market, but this was better priced and had more features. I love the bag! Most importantly the pocket for the phone is what makes it the perfect bag when on the water.
