Breakwater Supply™ Fogland Waterproof IP68 Submersible Backpack | Laptop Sleeve & Airtight Zippers for Outdoors, Travel, Boating, Kayaking, Surfing, Floating Dry Bag, Unisex, TPU (Stealth Black, 25L)

This is not a long term review as I’ve only had this backpack a week. I bought it for an upcoming trip (October 2023) to Florida and the Bahamas. My wife and I travel to Florida several times a year visiting the theme parks and it practically rains every day. We always carry a backpack to keep our cell phones, car keys, wallet, money, jackets, etc. Our stuff has gotten soaked several times throughout the years. Some things I like about this backpack is the overall size and capacity. Although it doesn’t have a lot of pockets for organization, you can fit a ton of stuff in it. We don’t carry a laptop but there is an area for one. I’m 6’2 and weigh 240 and the backpack is comfortable. The straps are wide and don’t dig in and there is good padding on the back. I like that the material is not cloth and it can be wiped clean. That will be nice for the beaches in the Bahamas. There are 2 water bottle pockets that are stretchy so they should fit a variety of sizes. Overall the backpack seems well made and the zippers feel very durable. I have tested it for waterproofness with a garden hose and it passed. I’m hoping it does the same in Florida. If not, I’ll update my review.

I think this is a great product and worth the cost. The company is American and a small business. They communicate with their customers well and are willing to support you. I purchased this product a couple weeks ago and I’ve used it once on a recent trip. I traveled by plane and it was a great carry-on. It’s spacious and has a few internal pockets to help organize your items. It also has an external waterproof pocket and two side pockets that fit water bottle and other small items. The build quality looks great and it is as durable as you’d expect. I took it on some adventures in Florida and even used it once on a kayak voyage and it held up great. The only thing that happened was during some regular use of the front pocket zipper, one of the pull loops came unattached. I reached out to Breakwater Supply and they quickly responded. They sent me an entirely new bag, no extra cost. Above and beyond customer service!

I do not often leave amazon reviews but this was worth it ! We recently traveled to bora bora and wanted a waterproof bag and this surpassed any and all expectations. We took it jet skiing, Scuba diving (on the boat not underwater just to clarify) through rain and storm and waves! Incredible bag, worth the money! I am pretty big and the bag was a tad bit small for me to carry or a long time on my back, so keep that in mind. Super easy to used and close securely especially with the provided zipper teeth wax. Has plenty of storage space and feels very strong and durable !

I purchased this backpack a little over a year ago. I've held off on reviewing because I wanted to test the product thoroughly. The price tag is certainly hefty but I must say I feel it's worth it. I do quite a bit of saltwater wade fishing and I keep my wallet, cellphone, and keys in the backpack. There has never been any water intrusion and it's taken many splashes and been dunked on several occasions. I haven't any issues with the zippers as they form a tight seal when closed properly. A few reviews commented on how hard it is to open the zipper but I didn't find this to be a major issue. Overall a high quality product that delivers as advertised.

I love this backpack so so much but I’ve had it for only 2 months and the zipper on the front pocket broke and came off. Everything else works wonderfully, the backpack is so easy to clean and super convenient. I’m trying to reach out to the company to see if they can send me a new zipper. Update: they sent me a brand new bag and only asked me how it might have happened to they can pass it to manufacturers. It was an excellent exchange and an effortless process. This company rocks and so does this bag!

This bag is expensive, so my wife and I weren't positive about whether we should buy it before our trip to Costa Rica this past July. Boy, am I glad we did! This was hands down our best purchase to prepare for our trip! It was worth every penny! While planning our trip, we discussed how we were nervous about leaving our belongings behind while snorkeling, swimming, or playing in the water due to the potential for theft. We thought maybe we could bring all our things with us into the water if we used this waterproof backpack. We were right! This wonderful backpack protected our stuff while snorkeling, swimming, waterfall rapelling, kayaking, rainy season hikes, and walking through torrential rainstorms that flooded the streets of Tortuguero! Whenever we felt nervous about the safety of an expensive piece of equipment, or about clothes or bags getting soaked, we tossed whatever we were worried about in this bag and it was protected completely from water and theft! The bag has a huge capacity, so my wife and I could fit quite a large amount of both of our stuff at once, including our smaller day packs and layers of clothing for shifting weather. Did we go swimming with electronics in the pockets of this bag? Yep! And they were completely safe! You just have to make sure the zippers are secure before setting off! Oh, also this bag floats, so if you are swimming and you want to take a break or get into a tough spot, it's got you as a flotation device! This also means if your bag falls off, it's going to be much easier for you to retrieve it. The color was nice and was neutral enough to go with just about anything. It was not too girly for my butch wife to want to carry, yet not too boring for my girly femme self. The only cons you may want to consider (which are honestly also pros, depending on how you look at it): -The zippers are hard to pull. You are not going to be pulling things in and out of this bag super quickly. This is because these are heavy-duty zippers and it helps increase water-resistance. I also think in the event that someone tried to steal from your bag, the dense and sturdy materials and sticky zippers might slow them down. However, we never encountered such issues personally, so this was not something we tested out. -This bag is big. It might be a little bulky or awkward to carry if you are looking for something smaller. For us, on a trip with so much gear, the size was perfect, and if either of us got too tired, we just switched who was carrying it. But my wife had it most of the time and rarely complained. TLDR? Buy it! You won't regret it!

Good quality

Excelente producto, materiales de alta calidad, lo inflé con la boca y lo serre, no se le escapo el aire!!! no lo he probado pero estoy seguro que va a aguantar la exigencia de viajes lluviosos en motociquleta

Amo la mochila!! Vale cada peso invertido. El único punto que creo podría mejorar es si le añadieran las tiras de soporte a la cintura y queda la malla para la botella de agua fuese más grande. Fuera de eso es perfecta, espaciosa, con algunos bolsillos para tus cosas pequeñas, queda todo protegido.

The Fogland Cordura 500D TPU version has the same feel, and welded construction as our Ortlieb Cordura panniers. So far quality looks top notch, hopefully it will last as long as our panniers. Weights 894g

A little smaller than expected, however, it's sufficient for what I need it for.
