Chaos Ready Waterproof Backpack – Dry Bag – Quality Heavy Duty - Padded Shoulder Straps - Mesh Side Pockets - Easy Access Front Pocket.

For starters, I think I looked at every waterproof bag on Amazon before selecting this one, and I am not disappointed. I love this bag for what it is, a great waterproof backpack. It's hard to find a waterproof bag in this size that is also a backpack...most of them just have one strap to wear across your body. It is very comfortable to wear and holds a lot. I like the water bottle pockets on both sides (thank you for providing two!). The front pocket is also nice for easy access to items that don't necessarily need to be protected (like a lip balm, pack of gum, etc). It is easy to roll and seal and it is indeed waterproof.As with all waterproof bags like these, everything does sink to the bottom and it can be hard to locate items. It's the nature of the beast. I recommend putting things in smaller bags just to help find what you're looking for. I have small makeup bags that I used. I know my keys and wallet were in one little bag, and other smaller items were in another.I do wish this came in other colors, but I do like this grey color as well. I want to get some for other family members and it would be handy if we all had a different color.All in all, this is very comfortable to wear as a backpack, it holds a lot, and it is waterproof. I will be buying more.

Absolutely love this bag. Its been paddle boarding and down the river with me. Such a great bag my cousin got one.

I bought this backpack in July, and used it while kayaking in the ocean. Unfortunately, our kayak had a hole in it, and we capsized MULTIPLE times. Throughout the entire journey, all of our valuables were safe and secure in this bag. It was the most affordable waterproof bag, and the backpack structure made it very easy to carry it around. I have started to use it as my everyday pack.The only PROBLEM is that the stitching that attaches the strap to the bag ended up breaking. However, this was actually NOT A PROBLEM. I emailed Chaos Ready directly, and Chelsea from the company promptly replied that she would be more than happy to send me a replacement at no cost. I would highly recommend the company and its products moving forward.

This backpack totally exceeded my expectations. Went on several "very wet" hikes on Maui and all of the gear I needed to be dry was totally dry. Not a better pack for the money.

The pack was great. I was in the ocean for hours at the public beach in Goa with all my gear in the backpack. I had my Blu-tooth speaker blasting music while we all enjoyed hanging out stress free without having to worry about keeping an eye on all my stuff if I had to leave it on the beach. No leaving anyone behind to watch-over our stuff.So aside from keeping all my stuff dry, it also acts like a flotation device (body weight is a factor - it may not work for you).In your future models, Please include:1: A cellphone pocket on the upper part of the shoulder strap. Doesn't have to be water proof, but it needs to be big enough to fit a smartphone with a waterproof case on it. This way its not submerged and I can be hands free.2: loops on the pack or straps for Carabiners to connect to it. This way I can strap my water bottle, or other items to it easily (or anchor it with something else so it can float and not get carried away by the waves).3: More pockets. Inside and outside. Just helps me to organize my stuff for easier access instead of digging thru everything to find something small in the bottom. (a divider inside could work almost as well - make the divider removable with velcro)4: A center-body strap. When I was in the ocean with the bag, every time a wave came by the pack would rise with the water while I stayed planted. A center-body strap would have prevented that from happening and kept the pack on me more securely.5: The main port of the bag, from my understanding is two pieces of plastic or paper or whatever. Why not make them magnetically seal together? or velcro, zipper, buttons, etc? I'm sure you had reasons behind it and I know it doesn't require it for the waterproofing. Just a suggestion.Thank you for a great product!

You can't pile a lot in it, the backpack itself is a little weighty, but I feel confident using it - it really is waterproof (except the front pocket). No pockets inside, very utilitarian, but it gets the job done. I'm using it mainly during the bad weather here in Portland for commuting back and forth between work and home.

I’ve been using this bag for a full year now and it’s durability has been great until this last week when the bottom seam ripped open a little. I’ve filled the bag to the max almost every time I’ve used it and it never blew a seam until now. I don’t know why others say the bag isn’t water proof. I work as an EMT on an ambulance and wanted to purchase something that I could wash that could also protect my homework if I had a patient who puked or bled on it. It’s worked great. The construction of the bag is very comfortable and durable up to a year. I give it 5 stars because it’s lasted so long and the function and comfortability has been great for up to a year.

i think this is a good bag but have not put it into used yet. i will use it for fishing in Alaska. that includes wearing it in deep streams while wading, and tossing it in a boat on saltwater. what i noticed with most of the "less expensive" drybags is that the bottom does not seem very durable to scrapes, tears, and wear. so i decided to cover mine with another layer as i know i will "toss" it around some. i used Gorilla patch tape. it is very thick, 4" wide and has a very strong adhesive. it is waterproof. from the pics you have seen what it did. it does not look pretty but the bottom of the bag will take some abuse before leaking for sure. i tested the bag for a few days, 1/2 of it being submerged as it may when i am standing in a river chest deep fishing. it did not leak at all. just wanted to share this. the tape would work with any dry bag for an extra layer of protection. you may be able to do a much prettier job of application than me. but i am happy with my bag, it will do the job and i am not that concerned about looks. i hope the strap attachments hold out!

Just what I need for a trip to Antarctica. Won't really know how it performs until I put it to the test but looks strong and I am confident.
