Overall, decent bag for very specific situational use, I just wish it were bigger and FHF or FirstLite offered more waterfowling-specific attachment options. I bought it for a walk-in bag, and I kind of regret that as it is probably going to become just another boat bag. For my use, a motion decoy holder on one side would be nice. And then the whole back side facing away from you as you wear it I feel is wasted space without more molle panel. For my attachments I got the water bottle holder for one side and on the other I was able to get it to work with the FHF sling that straps my gun to my bag. No more worrying about my gun taking a bath if I slide off balance into a carp hole or bending over to pick up dead ducks and decoys. Having two hands totally free and no worry about my gun is pretty huge for me and worth probably 2 of the 3 stars I've given, but ran me another $70 for some nylon straps and a couple of buckles. I knew like others said it wouldn't be waterproof enough to just throw down in the marsh--that's not a huge deal to me as some folded over cattails plus a floating decoy bag have proven to hold it up out of waist-deep water thus far, even when loaded with 2+ boxes of shells, some extra layers, snacks, and a 32oz Nalgene. I just wish it were bigger. Hunting with 2+ people I'll haul in our shells and other gear and my buddy hauls the decoys. Solo, you won't be fitting more than 2, 3 decoys in this thing, tops, so find another way to carry decoys or pick another bag for that scenario. Yeah, I know the interior is not made for that, but something that stays pretty dry most days like a spinning wing will fit at the cost of taking up 50%+ of the bag volume. The strap on top is a nice plus, I keep my rain jacket rolled up there. Maybe I just screwed up and bought the wrong bag, but I would love a bag like this that's 2x the width and just unzips at the top, picture like a big pack of smokes, so it could just stand in 2ft of water and still be fine, while being able to carry a lot more gear.

This is a great pack. My experience is different from the negative reviews. I hunt New England salt marshes and as the tide comes up, this pack has kept all my things dry for two or three seasons now. The bathtub style main compartment is without seams and floats. Fits a good amount of gear. I normally am never satisfied with my hunting packs but this one is the best of all I have tried for waterfowl. If I have one complaint, I wish the inside pocket was a few smaller slots instead of one big slot. The dry bag inside I haven’t found a need for.

It’s a decent pack. But if your hunting in flooded timber or in the cattail's on edge of pond and don’t have a dry spot this pack will leak water. Good for keeping general moisture and rain off your gear. But not waterproof.

This is a great bag, plenty of space and dividers to keep gear readily accessible and organized. When laid flat, it is waterproof on the bottom to 6-8". However, if your hunting rain and the bag is layed down as it should be, the back material where the straps are will soak up water and everything inside gets damp. Also, an additional grab handle on the bottom so you could carry it like a tub would be nice. In order to move the bag around, you have to zip it closed and use the grab handle in the middle. Outside of those two notes, I'm very happy with the bag. It's comfortable, waterproof to lay in marshes, organizes gear well, and the strap on top works well for packing in jackets or bibs.
