Tortuga Review
About 6 years ago I purchased a Drake waterfowl bag pack. The bag was built well and lasted me for years, however I soon realized that the bag was way more water-resistant than waterproof. I used to have to go home after hunting in heavy rains, only to then spend another hour or more drying my gear off that was in my bag pack. This was an absolute pain in my ass and I used to ask myself why I didn’t own a waterproof bag pack. I can even remember days of bringing an extra heavy duty trash bag just to put my waterfowl bag pack in if it started raining too hard. Fast forward, I heard about this Tortuga bag before it’s release date and I knew that it was something that was essential for me. I am the guy who is going to hunt no matter what the weather man says….can’t kill them from the couch. I am also the guy who puts my gear to the test, I don’t even baby children so I damn sure don’t baby my gear. So far I have had this bag for about 2 months and hunted with it at least 15+ times. I literally do not have a single complaint about the bag yet. It truly is so comfortable that most times I forget that it is on my back. I literally will be throwing out decoys and remember I have a bag on 1/2 way through. I like how it is not “too big” and I don’t just start filling it with unnecessary stuff. It is super durable and I love how neutral the color is. Lets be honest…. High&Dry isn't making any subpar products. This bag is amazing and it pairs well with my H&D Utility Pole. As long as H&D is making quality products and providing me with excellent customer service, they have a customer for life with me!

This bag is amazing. Just like the company itself! Waterproof and tough. Great for hunting, fishing and everything in between.

Great bag
This bag was a huge upgrade from the bag I was using. Love the size and it keeps my stuff dry! Backpack is definitely better for walking in with all my gear.

Buy it, you won’t regret it
While I haven’t hunted with the Tortuga yet and I can tell you already this thing is awesome. Did a sink check and she is airtight and definitely waterproof. I love the layout of the pockets too. Can’t wait to beat the hell out of this bag for years to come because I know it will take all of the abuse and more flawlessly.

It goes with me everywhere
Rad backpack. Used it this hunting season and can confirm it went into the drink a few times and all my gear was high and dry ! Took it out in the goose fields and in the duck marsh and it never let me down. I’ll be using it all summer out in my boat. If you’re looking for a waterproof backpack. Look no further. Fits enough stuff that even Mary Poppins is impressed.

Tortuga Backpack
This is by far the best waterproof back pack, and when i say waterproof i mean absolutely not a drop of water was in my bag after our down pour hunt in AR. Not only does it have straps on the side that i used for a timber strap, it has functional pockets both outside and inside the pack. BUT WAIT, the best part is the inside, when you open this pack up its not bright orange like another companies bag, which makes it perfect for hunting. If you are having second thoughts on this bag, let me help you out... BUY IT! you wont regret it.

Tortuga
This bag has been taking a beating since buying it. It goes through all the snow and ice out west and never fails. All my gear is dry everytime. Worth the spend!

The bag the waterfowl industry has been missing!
Early comments (2 hunts) - Price point is fantastic for a fully waterproof backpack with these features. Zippers are smooth, exteriors pockets and features are dialed in! Stands up nicely on its own. Top opens nice and wide to access all your gear. Will report back with additional feedback after logging more hunts but this is the bag to have! I have tried 5 other leading waterfowl backpacks and this puts them all to shame! This bag is on point!
