Ready to take on anything.
The Fogland Backpack is 100% waterproof, fully submersible, and keeps out water, snow, sand, and dirt, making it a true safe-haven for your gear.
More freedom to enjoy the outdoors!
With complete protection in all climates, conditions, and environments, you can spend less time worrying about your gear, and have more freedom to enjoy your travels, adventures, and daily life.
Not Just Waterproof – SUBMERSIBLE.
We don’t just claim it – it’s the real deal. Whether you’re hiking deep in the woods, navigating the shoreline on your kayak, or cycling through a downpour, have complete confidence your gear is safe, dry, and protected.
My favorite feature of the pack is the use of drysuit-grade airtight zippers on both the main compartment and front pocket, enabling 100% waterproof storage in both spaces.
Made from our advanced Hydrowall™ material.
Our advanced Hydrowall™ 420D Nylon TPU is everything an outdoor textile should be: lightweight, 100% waterproof, wipes clean, and it’s virtually indestructible – it’s completely tear-proof and resists abrasions and stains.
Permanently welded seams.
The Fogland Backpack exclusively uses welded seams, with zero stitching – instead, the edges of each panel are fused together using an advanced construction process called radio-frequency welding. These seams are permanent, with zero gaps, to ensure water, snow, sand, and dirt stay out.
All-Day Comfort
- S-curved ergonomic shoulder straps
- Adjustable, removable and reflective chest strap with emergency whistle
- Molded EVA back panel with airflow channels and fast-drying padding
- Lightweight neoprene shoulder padding with reflective elements on each side
From the woods, to the water, to daily life.
Highly versatile, with a 16″ laptop sleeve, a fully waterproof front pocket (perfect for smaller items like your phone), and attachment points for clipping on extra gear.

Can this backpack be fully submerged underwater?
Yes, the Fogland Backpack has been tested to the IP68 standard. Once the zippers are sealed shut, the Fogland Backpack can be submerged underwater for extended time (30+ minutes) while keeping all contents in the front pocket and large main compartment completely dry.
Will it float?
Yes! In fact, the Fogland 25L will float with over 40 lbs (18kg) of weight inside. Note: as a disclaimer, we recommend maxxing out your backpack at 10% of your bodyweight to prevent injury.
What’s the difference between the CORDURA and non-CORDURA versions?
The Fogland CORDURA line is roughly 10% lighter in weight and retains its fabric look and feel on the exterior, while the non-CORDURA versions have a rubberized feel. Fogland CORDURA backpacks are made from genuine CORDURA 500D Ripstop Nylon that has been coated on both sides with a TPU layer. Just like the non-CORDURA versions, they are IP68 waterproof and fully submersible.
Do I have to worry about rust?
No. We intentionally use 100% non-corrosive materials and components – from UTX Duraflex buckles to polymer and stainless zippers and pullers.
How big is the laptop sleeve?
The Fogland Lite 15L and Fogland 20L have a 10″ W x 13″ H (25cm X 33cm) laptop sleeve that will hold a standard-sized 14″ laptop. The Fogland 25L’s laptop sleeve measures 10.75″ W x 14.5″ H (27cm x 37cm) and will hold larger laptops measuring 16″ or greater. Both laptop sleeves have a “false bottom” to protect your device from impact with the ground. This false bottom is .8″ (2cm) from bottom for the 15L/20L and 2″ (5cm) from bottom for the Fogland 25L.
Where can I use it?
The Fogland Backpack excels as an all-weather companion for rugged adventure (traveling, hiking, fishing, hunting, boating, paddling, watersports, snow sports) as well as everyday life (gym, work, commuting, biking/cycling). It can also be used as an emergency backpack in areas that are vulnerable to storms, flooding, and intense weather events.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. We stand behind all of our products by backing them with our 2 Year Gear Up Warranty.

Really great bag! The white is more off white grey tone but it still looks clean. Straps are comfortable and the chest clip is a nice option. The pockets inside are a big plus and the overall space inside is more than I expected. I have not gotten it wet but the zippers seem heavy duty so I’m sure the seal is perfect. Thinking about getting one the black one for my boyfriend- it’s perfect for our water based jobs.

Writing as a Divemaster, marine ecologist, and full-time PhD student who spends months of the year collecting data in the field. While I’ve yet to drag this backpack through its paces out on a fieldwork season, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how robust it has been as an EDC backpack in adverse winter conditions. It’s burly and rugged, and has a functionally minimalist design with plenty of external lash points and additional features. I picked this bag over alternatives such as the Patagonia Guidewater line or the Fishpond Thunderhead primarily because of its built-in laptop sleeve and double airtight pockets (one main compartment and one outside compartment).
I don’t regret this decision at all, and am pleasantly and plentifully surprised at how well-made and thought-out this product is. My only gripe so far is how small the external water bottle sleeves are—none of my water bottles fit in them, but it’s also hard to whine about a feature that none of the other submersible packs on the market even have to begin with, so I digress. The hingeless carabiners are also sleek and functional and don’t feel disposable.
In short, this bag seems perfect for my demanding use cases, and my only suggestions are 1) bigger/more expandable water bottle sleeves, and 2) a clearer picture of Breakwater Supply’s commitment to conservation and sustainability and how their products and materials reflect this focus. Thank you for this backpack Godsend!

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

I purchased this bag for a trip to Maui’s rain forest. I knew we would be in and out of the water and that it would be raining some of the trip. This bag did not disappoint! Not one drop of water got in the bag. I put everything from my phone, camera, extra clothes and food in there. The 25L left lots of room to carry others items. I was a little worried the light color would look nasty after a day in the mud, but it cleaned up well. The bag actually floated upright which was nice when I was in deeper water. Would definitely buy again.

The first one that arrived had a stuck zipper on the front pocket. I reached out by e-mail and was sent immediately on Saturday an e-mail with a you tube video showing how to free a stuck zipper. Unfortunately while trying to free the zipper it broke. I sent pictures of the broken zipper back explaining the problem. I was impressed that Josh responded both Saturday and Sunday to my e-mail and had a new bag started on its way Sunday. I really appreciate the prompt pleasant customer service working to solve the problem. Problems happen no matter how hard we work to prevent them. It is how people and companies respond that matters. Your company, represented by Josh did an awesome job to take a bad situation and turn it into a positive. I am now a firm supporter of your company. Thanks Allen
