I’ve had this bag for a little while now. When it arrived I was very impressed with the quality. The back and the straps have neoprene padding and are comfortable to wear. You can use your touchscreen through the clear pocket. The quality of the materials used and the seams were good quality. Since receiving it I have done some testing and it has held up very well. I took it with me on a hike through the snow loaded with extra layers, a first aid kit, and my camera. The bag kept all my gear dry and was very comfortable during the hike. For my second test I stressed the seams to see how well they held up. I overloaded the bag and also pulled at the seams. The seams held up very well and there were no leaks afterward. For the final test I filled up my bathtub and completely submerged the bag. This test revealed small holes in the phone packet due to the way it was packaged for shipping. I reached out to the company and was quickly sent a replacement bag and they fixed the problem with the way it was packaged. The replacement bag had no holes and was waterproof as advertised. All in all it is a good looking high quality bag from a great company. I highly recommend this bag.

Comfortable

I have the 15L in Goshen Gray - this is one excellent pack! I took it for a week to Costa Rica and used it on the boat for Scuba (where we got soaked) and also hiking in the rain forest, where we were in heavy rain all day. On the boat I had my wallet, phone, dry clothes, etc. and in the rain forest I had my camera in a padded camera cube and other gear. In both cases, my stuff stayed bone dry. But not only that, the pack was very comfortable to hike with, the fabric looks amazing and it has great pockets for a waterproof pack (which are usually very sparse or empty on organization since it's not cheap to weld additional pockets into the pack). The upper inside pocket is really great for keys, etc and the main inside pocket is great to segment your gear so that the pack doesn't become one giant black hold. Also, the pack is super light and really strong and tough, so it packed really well and flat into my main travel bag (unzipped) and then was great when we arrived as a day pack. The top handle is really handy and the sternum strap works really well. Can't recommend this bag highly enough, especially at the price. Thanks for making this one guys, I'll probably be back for more sizes!

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

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.

I was looking for small carabiners for my keys that weren't metal. It's just that clanking sound that can get irritating. These are perfect and literally it's true they will not break! I tried twisting and bending and I figured since there's 4 in the package I can live with breaking one, but I couldn't snap them. For small carabiners these are perfect. Easy to open and as light as can be. And I like the small zip bag they come in. Recommend!

Being included in early look tests with pre-release version of this bag. you are going to flip.out…If you carry critical gear to wet environments this will be your last bag.

These punch above their weight class. I wouldn't use them for any load-bearing applications, but infinitely useful for small accessory attachment. Based on that use case, durability would not be a concern.

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!

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.

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

I've been working on boats for ten years, and I can say this is the best backpack I've ever had. Completely waterproof and durable, easy to open and store your belongings. The internal pockets are very useful for organizing small items. Comfortable on the back. It was an international shipment, and email communication was very good.

Best backpack I've ever had. My life has already made many trips in the country and out of the country. I love it to death.

Really stylish and cool

awesome backpack! was comparing this one to some of the competition like $300 the Yeti Panga. I was able to check out the Yeti at a store and The Breakwater Supply bag has the same if not BETTER quality than the Yeti backpack and only for a fraction of the cost! I would highly recommend Breakwater Supply waterproof backpacks to anyone looking for a fully waterproof submersible backpack.

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.

The bag is big, so i can fit my wetsuit inside, and it has a lot of cool features inside and around it (waterbottle, clipse, etc..).

Nice little pack seems well built
