Excellent backpack!! Loved it so much I bought a 2nd one! :)
Absolutely LOVE this 35L backpack. I purchased it in bright yellow! :) I was planning a sailing trip from Oahu to Maui & needed a nice dry bag to pack my stuff in. When the boat keels over, sometimes stuff can get thrown around. The cabin soles can be wet so I wanted something to keep all my stuff dry but still was a reasonable cost. I had made the mistake of using a regular duffel bag last time I sailed to Maui which left some of my clothes inside soaked. This time, I wanted to have a drybag!I found this dry bag while browsing on Amazon. Originally, I had bought the 60L duffel from Såk Gear but after receiving it, I realized the 60L was a bit bigger than what I needed. I returned the 60L (easy return with UPS!) & bought the 35L instead.Of all the drybag backpacks, I had browsed, this one I think is the best! It's roomy enough to easy fit everything in but isn't too large where it would be awkward to carry. The 35L has a padded back & padded straps which make it more comfortable to carry. There's also a buckle strap that comes across your chest. I especially like the two zipper pockets. I use the inner zipper pocket to put my phone/wallet which keeps it dry & also makes my phone/wallet easy to access quickly. The outer zipper pocket is great for some small items that I might need a bit more frequently like chapstick, sunscreen, etc.Tip: Buy packing cubes. Dry bags are typically just 1 large compartment. To sort out my stuff a bit better, I bought some packing cubes to make my own for clothes, toiletries, towel, etc.Overall, great dry bag. It was $54.95 plus free shipping with Amazon prime. I live in Hawaii so typically shipping is more costly than on the mainland so any sellers that offer Amazon prime are great in my book! :)***EDIT: March 13, 2020. I loved this 35L bag so much that I bought a 2nd one in a smaller 25L size in "Mint" for hiking trips. The price increased a bit to $59.95 for the smaller bag, but I'm happy to pay it! Great quality, huge fan! And, the newer model has a few extra compartments INSIDE the bag. Would recommend!

Good for surfing trips
I purchased this waterproof backpack after doing some research on Amazon. There was a specific bag I wanted from a rival company, but the online reviews seemed to indicate that it wasn't made all that well. (shoulder straps coming apart and such)I wasn't looking so much for a 100% waterproof bag, I just need something to carry my wetsuit, wax, towel, keys, water, phone, blah blah to the beach without getting everything sandy and covered with schmutz. (I've previously been transporting my gear with reusable grocery bags, so anything is a step up!)I've only used the backpack a few times, but it is great and gets the job done. Seams seem sturdy and it is very comfortable. There's a bit of a learning curve with the top opening versus traditional zippers, but it is fine. The front pocket is great for storing things you need immediate access to like your phone.As for the design, it might be cool if they put some drink holders on the side, but not a deal breaker.Bottom line: It keeps your belongings dry and clean, it's lightweight, it appears to be solidly built and is very comfortable. Recommend.

Cute, roomy, and keeps my stuff dry
Love it. I work at a pool and it saves my stuff from getting wet when it rains. Roomy and cute. I get tons of compliments on this bag.

Perfect for Sea Word and Water Park at about half the price of REI waterproof bags!
This 35L bag worked great for us! I used it for Sea World and the Aquatica water parks. This bag went through a torturous day. Everything from being drenched in salt water by 8,000 lb Killer Whales from sitting in the front row of a "splash zone" to the wave pool simulator, lazy river, and various water rides. There were several times that the bag and all of our belongings were completely submerged. Everything was totally dry. I would suggest putting all electronics inside the main compartment. I placed my phone and chargers inside ziplock plastic bags, then placed the items inside the main compartment, and not a drop of water anywhere inside the bag.Make sure to follow the simple instructions and you will be good to go. Here is a summary of what I did that worked very well:Get as much air out of the bag as possible.Close the top and fold it over 3 times.Buckle the straps at the end of the folds to the connectors located on the side of the bag.In terms of useable space the Large bag carried quite a bit with room to spare. Here are some of the items that we had inside the bag just to give you an idea:2 large beach towels and 1 small beach towel2 64 oz large Yeti canteens (filled with water)Spare clothes for two people3 portable chargers, iPhone, lightning cableiPad AirWallet, keys, and other miscellaneous itemsAlthough the bag was filled pretty good, my back surprisingly didn't hurt after carrying it all day due to the comfortable straps and padding.In summary, I would not hesitate to reccomend this bag to anyone looking to keep their belongings dry. Top notch quality at about half the price of some of the popular REI brands.

Great waterproof bag for traveling
Went on a international fishing trip and needed a larger water proof bag. Love the choice of designs, I wanted to make mine easy to distinguish. The outside zipper pocket is great for easy access to money or cards (keep in mind that pocket is NOT water poof). And I really found the inside pouches/pockets very handy for keeping wallets and other valuables organized.The only reason I could not give it a full 5 stars was because some of the hemming has already begun to fray, which I was a little surprised by since we had barely begun the trip. It doesn't look like it will affect the integrity of the bag but time will tell as I continue to use it. So far, very happy.

Great Bag
This backpack is very durable, had it for a few years and use nearly every day, biking in all weather. Sometimes wish it was slightly larger, depth wise. Makes it harder to transport boxier items.
