Very helpful video. I've been contemplating getting this for my bf as a gift and your review helped me realize it may not be what he really needs (despite the brand name!). Thank you!
Excellent review! These are so helpful to us consumers. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. The bag definitely looks cooler in the magazine than in the video. The bag also looks to reflect a glair /shine like the banded arc welded bag.
Thanks for some honest feedback. I am an avid sitka user and was debating on this bag but no one around me has them in atomic so I was going to have to order it. Thanks again.
Good review man, nice presentation style and honesty. Love the looks of the bag, but seems, as you pointed out, like it wasn't properly field vetted. Would you say its truly waterproof in the sense that it can be submerged and not leak at all (like a Panga)?
It might be worth it for you. If you’re looking for a waterproof bag, it is a good option. Used as a backpack, I didn’t like it. Your needs/preferences could be different from mine though, so maybe it’s something you should pick up - for me, it’s not worth it.
Great review. I have been looking for a waterproof back pack myself for duck hunting and can’t seem to find one I like except the Aves bag but I think they have gone out of business. What bag did you end up settling on?
I just kept my original Rig ‘em Right pit blind bag. I wish I could find one that fits my needs, but I haven’t been able to yet. If you come across one, let me know.
Great review. I appreciate your observations. It seems like whoever designed the pack sketched it out on paper and handed it to the next group to manufacture it. None of the inside of it makes any sense. It would have been better to have no built-in organization and then let the consumer add their own organizing pouches. Also, I would have liked to have seen more attachment points on the outside.

yeah, it does have a reflective coating on it.
Super well made video. Helped me make a decision to not upgrade from my current blind bag.
I think there are some better options out there now.
Great video. I've been wanting a new blind bag from Sitka and I'm very glad I watched your review on it before I bought this one

Yeah, normally I really like their stuff - but this bag just didn’t work for me. Hopefully you can find one that is good for you.

it is not fully waterproof, the zippers will leak.
So reviewing this video and now this bag is $149 on a few sites- worth it now?

Could you fit a spinning wing decoy in the large compartment?
I don’t believe so. If it could, it would be really tight.
You should try the divebomb dry blind bag.
I’ve heard of it, I’ll have to take a look.

Yeah, having a more modular inside would have been nice. Crazy thing is, I usually really like Sitka’s stuff, but this one just fell flat for me.
Fantastic review. Bag looks great but not very practical for any waterfowl hunting I do. Thanks!!
Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback. Hopefully you can find a bag that will work for you.
