4.5 stars. Great bag and excellent customer service! I bought this bag for a trip to the Galapagos and the Amazon next year, so I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it seems like a sturdy bag, and it's pretty cute. I like the texturized appearance of the Condura material but wish it came in more colours or even just a lighter beige. My only gripe is that the 20L pack doesn't have lash tabs or d-rings on the front or sides to secure gear. I know the 25L has those features, but 20-inch long bags look silly on smaller frames (I'm 5'2"), so I had to go with the 20L. It would be great if Breakwater added those features to the smaller bags or offered a shorter version of the 25L for women/shorter individuals. When I purchased the bag, I was worried that the water bottle pockets wouldn't fit my 20oz Lululemon water bottle (3-inch diameter), but I tested it at home, and it seems functional so far. The water bottle pockets have two layers of mesh and a ~0.5" thick elastic at the top, so my water bottle didn't fall out after jumping a few times, but it would be great if it went up about 2" higher. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. I would love to see more features added to the smaller bags or even a submersible fanny pack in the future.

The straps are large strong and really high quality. I had lost one of mine that came with my River backpack, but upon my request these were made available through the website. I'm so grateful that this company is so accommodating.

I am so pleased with the quality and look of the product.

Been using it every day and it holds up.

I'm in love with a backpack :D

This cap is worth every penny. Very functional With A Touch of Class.

I've had my breakwater supply Explorer for about 6 months. I live in central Florida so the waterproof-ness gets a workout. I've been traveling all over the world with it and it has proven time and time again to be a reliable travel companion. Some of the stitching was coming loose on the top handle - I reached out to customer support via their website to report it. They responded in less than 24 hours and after providing a few more details a new bag was in the mail and heading my way. I'd happily recommend this bag to friends, family and everyone else!

Can't beat it at the price!

So much more improved from my first backpack!

Same as above

All great and waterproof

I haven’t used it for that long, but the quality looks/feels nice. The zippers need a bit of a tug to open, but there are loops that help with opening the zippers easily. It looks waterproof, but I haven’t tested it yet.

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!

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!

Very good product. It is well made and has a lot of content.

The first thing I noticed and liked about this kit is how it feels and also the lightweight. It has a nice rubbery texture that seems to be waterproof and also wont slip in hand. The contents are basic for a first aid kit and everything you'll need to take care of minor events. It ash waterproof bandages, ice pack, rolls of first aid tape, scissors, tweezers, and numerous ointments and cleaning wipes. Basically everything I would put together if I was to get the supplies myself. Having such a nice case is well worth it because i've purchased other kits where I've almost been embarrassed by the quality of the cases. This one will last, and it's high-quality. It's reflective too which is very unique in case it's stored in a car and you're pulled over on the side of a highway with other cars coming past.

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.

I think this is a well made, impressive bag.
