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?

It’s fabulous. Period. To the person who wrote that the zippers are hard to pull, you just don’t know how to use a waterproof zipper. There are little tabs on both ends of the zipper. You hold the tab nearest the zipper in one hand and pull with the other hand. All truly waterproof zippers are like that.

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.

These are not only sharp looking , but also comfortable and waterproof! All in one ! The best!

I have been wearing the Halocline shoe for just over two weeks now and I find them to be very comfortable and cushy. I'm able to put them on easily although I see some people complain about the narrow fit, I guess if you wear wide width shoes it can be a bit challenging. I like that they are silent on most surfaces and can be worn in various situations, whether sports, casual or semiformal. I also like the reflective drawstring, it adds a nice touch. I will definitely be wearing them often. I wish that they fitted a bit higher over the ankles to ensure that water doesn't get inside the shoe. Overall it's an excellent product and I look forward to seeing a second iteration of it.

This kit is crazy! It's so packed with goodies that I went through and removed some of what I didn't need, to keep the weight down. It's really waterproof, and I'm impressed with the carabiner. It says rust-proof but only time will tell. Will keep it in mind because I plan on getting more for my camping buddies.

Great bagpack. Good size, comfortable to wear and holding up perfectly. Using on boat.

I love this backpack. I go fishing all the time, including a lot of wading through small rivers and streams with muddy banks, as well as fishing during storms on Great Lakes piers. I couldn't be happier with this bag, it has been beaten up and abused in the mud and rain and has had zero water inside. I use the little flap inside for my scale, fish grippers, and pliers, the main compartment for my tackle and any other larger items, the inside zipper section for a small first aid kit, and the front outside zipper pocket for my phone, wallet, keys, etc. I even used one of the little things on the outside to hang my scissors from, which is SO convenient, as I need my scissors constantly. I also love the side pockets, for keeping a can of bug spray and water bottle in. I can't believe it took me this long to get a nice waterproof bag. I've had this bag about 6 months, and I've fallen in love with it as well as the brand. I will continue to buy from this brand for years to come. Other waterproof bags I looked at were either way more expensive than this one, or just not as cool looking. Love the simple look of this bag with the cool logo on it, as well as the buckle on the front. Can't say enough good things about it. 1,000/10

Great tote for picnicking and the beach

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!

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

Also got for emergency

Love this company, brand and customer service.

Purchased lots of trainers that were surpose to be waterproof, none was, wasted money. These shoes are not cheap but they are 100% waterproof.

Just got back from a fishing trip wehre we had lots of luck. Brought this backpack with me and found it especially useful for the space it has and the waterproof abilities. Very well built. Plan to use it on similar trips in the future.

Awesome pack! Light weight and water tight!

The backpack is fantastic. Very spacious, particularly in depth. I love the simple layout, and it is very high quality. I very much appreciate the cup holders on the side but wish they were able to hold slightly larger vessels.

Finally - a practical first aid kit for people that enjoy camping, hiking and other outdoor sports. It's compact but has the products you will likely need - as opposed to being full of fluff that you won't. A great gift for anyone that loves the outdoors.
