The challenge of anyone setting off on a waterborne endeavor is how to both keep things dry and accessible. I purchased this backpack in an attempt to solve that problem for myself and I am glad that I did. The backpack is watertight while maintaining a level of accessibility that is needed when on the water and in confined spaces. Putting this backpack in front of me in my pack raft was the perfect solution for needing to keep my camera and lunch dry, but still needing to be able to get them. Other bags require the old fashioned roll down sleeve and buckle or the US Army wet weather bag’s double cinch approach. This waterproof zipper design is far better than either of those. Additionally, to economize space in the boat (very limited on a packraft) the compression strap helps keep the bag from taking up much-needed room. The phone pouch is, by far, the best feature of the backpack. I cannot tell you how many times I have been on the water and wanted the use of my phone for maps, texts, or other things while being terrified to take it out in fear of dropping it. Waterproof or floating cases help, but it also decreases the usability of the phone. This backpack keeps the phone safe while allowing you to use it. It is even better if you have a pair of Bluetooth earphones that will allow you to make phone calls while the phone is safe in the backpack. If nothing else, this feature alone is worth the purchase of the backpack in my opinion.

New review: Top notch quality is one thing this brand does, but doing it repeatedly is what sets this brand apart. I would trust this brand with the safety of high value equipment transportation. Earlier I left a review at one, stating that it never arrived in the mail. This was due to me not physically being at that address and having to have someone look for me. Turned out it was delivered.

Awesome pack! Light weight and water tight!

It is an awesome product. Great craftsmanship.i can’t wait to test it out more in the Pacific Northwest ,spring and fall rains.

Comfortable fit. Good quality item. Bought with the waterproof bag and very satisfied.

Makes waterproof zippers work easier

Just ordered this bag and had to try it out today on my paddle board. The design is so clean looking and the bag is perfectly functional. It fit everything I needed: towel, change of clothes, water bottle, snacks, sunscreen, phone, keys, and still had room to spare. Will definitely be taking this on all of my paddle boarding adventures! :)

Love it awesome backpack

Wow! This is a cool pack! I’ve taken it around the World and had tons of compliments. It saved me in Mongolia on a Fly Fishing float trip keeping all my stuff dry on the boat in a complete downpour . I just got back from a scuba diving trip in Cozumel and kept all my stuff dry in the belly of the dive boat. It’s next trip is fly fishing in Montana and Wyoming in August, scuba diving in Yap in December, and fly fishing in Argentina next March. I love the Fogland 25L pack…my favorite new travel companion.

Perfect truly waterproof backpack, excellent storage space and comfortable.

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

Has everything I need for trips in the woods . It's a very good kit for hunting, fishing, outdoors, and snowmobile trips or ATV . The bag is small and flexible. Easy to pack with other things . Supplies are good quality. Bandages are always a must and there's plenty. Survival equipment I am surprised by , in a good way. I spent a lot of time in the outdoors. Good to have that stuff and be prepared. Overall great kit and plan on keeping with me on my trips.

Really stylish and cool

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.
