Packs a lot of useful stuff into a tidy package. Will keep this in the bag I bring when day sailing.

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.

I highly recommend this waterproof bag! My family has a total of 4, and have put them to the test during a rainy track season in the Midwest. They also survived the hurricane deck at Cave of the Winds while visiting Niagara Falls--everything inside the bag has stayed dry in extremely wet conditions. I would recommend these bags to anyone. The size options are great, and totally worth the price.

Love the design and durability!! I work as a boat captain, and i have found my favorite waterproof bag brand :) Thank you so much for creating high quality gear! And great compliments. I keep my dive/rescue fins attached outside for easy access, and everything i need dry inside neatly organized thanks to all the zippered compartments! Mahalo from Hawaii 🌺

Hello readers of the Breakwater Supply company reviews for the Explorer 25L waterproof backpack. I purchase my first Breakwater Supply bag in August of 2022. When it arrived in the mail it was on time with quick delivery. Showing excitement and ready to try out this new bag. Switching from a worn out a waterproof Patagonia 30L , after close to two-years of daily use. Which can be seen here on this YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFjKi95grHs YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynUjU2kMCuo The switch from the Patagonia to Breakwater Supply was helpful in keeping items separated and organized. It also stored all the personal property allowing everything to stay dry. Lowering any stress one might have when getting caught in the rain or on the boat with water splashing on deck. This is an awesome backpack for organized onshore fisherman who carry all there tackle and want to keep it dry. The primary Breakwater Supply backpack I use goes through ups and downs daily, with an average weight of ten pounds in the bag. Holding everything one might need and use for a business administrative lifestyle. Which in this case is education while in college over the next few years. Here comes the good news, this manufacture stands by there product with professional customer service and has provided a brand new Backpack after mine became damaged. If your looking to try a waterproof bag this company is offering a water tight sealed bag.

Just what I was looking for. So many things are included! Great value. Perfect for boat, but can be used for home or car or short trip. Will probably pick up a couple for gifts as well.

I'm absolutely thrilled with my new waterproof backpack! As a photographer, I've had my fair share of close calls with rain and water damage. But this backpack has been a total game-changer. I've submerged it in water, worn it in torrential downpours, and even used it as a makeshift flotation device (just kidding, but it's that buoyant!) - and my gear has stayed bone-dry every time. The material is incredibly durable, and the sealing system is top-notch. I've packed my cameras, lenses, and accessories with confidence, knowing they'll be safe from the elements. The backpack itself is comfortable to wear, with padded straps and a sleek design that doesn't scream "waterproof" (in a good way). Pros: - Truly waterproof (not just water-resistant!) - Durable material and construction - Comfortable to wear - Keeps gear dry in extreme conditions Cons: - None (seriously, I'm struggling to think of any!) This backpack has given me the freedom to shoot in any weather, without worrying about my gear. Rainy days are no longer a concern - in fact, they're now an opportunity to capture unique shots without stress. If you're a fellow photographer or just someone who loves the outdoors, do yourself a favor and invest in this amazing waterproof backpack. Your gear (and you) will thank you!

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!

I have had two of their backpacks by now. The first was damaged in an unfortunate accident, but this one is even better than the old version. It is the only company that does waterproof backpacks with a space for a laptop at this price! I love my backpack! If you're on the fence and live in a rainy place... get one, it changed my life to have my electronics dry and safe all the time.

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

This backpack is constructed well and has plenty of room!! The zippers are waterproof and easy to use. Front pocket is perfect for cellphone! Comfortable to wear.

This bag is super light, extremely comfortable, and can hold a lot! I use it for all my weekend or day trips. Purchased one for my father as well because he needed a bag that was 100% waterproof.

These are definitely a must-have in marine environments, cold weather and in situations where clicking and rattling are a liability. These are polymer, so they don't scratch up finishes on metal and they DON'T GET JAMMED UP OR FROZEN IN SUB-FREEZING TEMPS. Non-magnetic, corrosion proof, no coating to rub off and are reasonably easy to open with gloves on. My only concern is gradual weakening from UV, but only time can tell if that is something to be concerned about.

The backpack is great. It is light enough for comfortable use, yet will protect my cameras and spare clothing during a downpour.
