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!

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.

Phenomenal product. Best backpack on the market in its class of waterproof zipper backpacks for the price.

This bag is the mf’n shit do you understand me
I would rather get palm slapped by Mike Tyson than use another book bag for season

My first waterproof backpack
I just want to be fair...I haven't use the backpack yet. However, overall the feel of the backpack and the construction of it seems like well made of thick "PVC" material. The zippers are robust and well made. I will try and provide an update if there's any issues after I used it.

Best Backpack!
I had been looking for a backpack that was semi waterproof that I could use for fly fishing and hunting waterfowl and this was the answer! Its perfect with 3 different pockets. The main pocket is huge, it can fit literally everything I need and then some more.

Best dry bag on the market
Between being on the skiff, wading, or on the beach this bag has exceeded all expectations. Here has always been dry at the end of the day and has plenty of room to fit anything you need for the day. AWESOME PRODUCT!!
