Really like Bote brand. I was super excited to get there backpack. I do a lot of boating and paddle boarding so this was an awesome idea. It quickly became my EDC bag. Roughly two months of using this bag, Saturday when getting off the boat I noticed a few small items I keep in the front pocket poking out. The glue used to adhere the pocket to the bag has completely come detached in a 2” section on the bottom. May try and Glue it but hesitant because of the cost of this bag to damage it further. The main bag and hardware is holding up fine to everyday use but this front pocket seams a bit fragile overall.I already have a bote rackham and when I was looking for a waterproof backpack I knew that the highwater pack would be great quality. It is significantly cheaper than the similar packs from orvis and fishpond but has all same features and just as durable construction. I have taken it fishing many times now and it even fell off my paddle board once with my dslr in it and has kept everything nice and dry
