Unexpectedly good
I’ve been using this backpack for two years packrafting and duck hunting and it’s been working great. Last weekend I forgot my marsh stool and the backpack was so airtight I sat on it for 4 hours and it held air except for two refills. I wouldn’t recommend it for this purpose cause it’s pretty hard on the seams but great on a pinch. Only complaints are the water bottle mesh holder is built for a capri sun, not a water bottle, and the grab handles are unnecessarily large and heavy but not a significant negative

Durability/Versatility
My OG 28L has seen some stuff and still keeps rolling. From the field, marsh to the flats and open ocean this thing has survived/thrived in the mud, muck, storms and scary seas while keeping my gear completely dry and readily available. An essential piece of gear that absolutely has no quit!

Absolute must have!
100% waterproof is correct! no worries of any water getting in, like the extra zipper pockets inside and out. Holds all your gear and necessities. my go to bag when guiding.

Best got Better!!
Not sure how Jordan and Jason did it but they made an already incredible product even better. The improvements from the Tortuga to the Archelon not only were essential but are perfect! Great job I love this bag!!

Last bag you will ever buy!
I first saw these bags at NWTF in Nashville a couple years ago. I wanted one so bad because I had recently went duck hunting with a "waterproof" backpack from another company that we won't name.... needless to say, my stuff got soaked and I had a bunch of wet shells that wouldn't fire and a ruined cell phone that didn't make calls. This past season, I took the plunge again but this time with a Hella Dry bag and let me tell you! If I wasn't a believer before, I am now! My clumsy self tripped over my feet on a boat hunt and lucky for me, I was wearing my bag. Not only did everything stay dry (hella dry I must say) but I floated!! This bag saved my ass and my gear! Lifelong customer now fellas!

Kuhn
I’ve been duck hunting for about 4 years now and I’ve bought a couple different bags that claim to be 100% waterproof but all of the other bags wouldn’t even make it through the first split. I bought this bag this summer and I can honestly say it has surpassed all expectations. I have put it through some very difficult situations and it has done amazing.

Great Waterfowl Bag
This is a great waterfowl backpack. I have used on several duck hunts, keeps my gear dry. Easy to use and lots of room.

Exceeds Expectations, Clearly Built to Last
I have been blown away by this backpack since I put my hands on it. Perfect for plenty of dry storage on a simple flats skiff, and convenient / comfortable enough to haul all the gear needed for walking the flats or a day on the creek. Three pockets of bone-dry storage, wrapped up in a great looking piece of gear. Would absolutely recommend for any outdoor enthusiast.
