Top 5 Waterproof Hunting Bags for Fall
When the weather turns and the ground goes soft, your bag becomes part mule, part lifeline. We’ve dragged these five through rain, slash, shale, and airport carousels. Here’s what truly earns a spot in the truck bed.
1) Expedition DryPak Bag — 25L
Why it makes the cut: The “always-with-you” dry bag for day hunts. Compact, tough, and dead simple.
Field notes: 500D TPU with welded seams shrugs off downpours and creek crossings. Roll-top seals fast; big opening swallows layers, gloves, or a compact optics kit. Lash loops and grab handles make it easy to rig on a quad or canoe.
Best for: Day sits, scouting runs, tree-stand climbs, boat shuttles.
2) Basecamp DryPak Backpack — 35L
Why it makes the cut: Hands-free, balanced carry with true waterproofing.
Field notes: Welded construction + roll-top = reliable seal. Padded straps and airflow back panel keep it comfortable under layers. Side straps cinch tight so the load stays quiet. Interior pocket keeps tags/keys out of the wet zone.
Best for: Hike-in setups, saddle hunters, dawn-to-dusk pushes.
3) Range Rover DryPak Duffel — 40L
Why it makes the cut: Weekend-length capacity without the bulk.
Field notes: Wide roll-top mouth means fast gear dumps. Removable shoulder strap and multiple grab points for truck-to-camp efficiency. Stiffened base resists abrasion in boats and blinds.
Best for: Two-day hunts, waterfowl spreads, back-of-the-side-by-side carry.
4) Range Rover DryPak Duffel — 80L
Why it makes the cut: The “bring it all” hauler.
Field notes: Same waterproof, welded build—just more of it. Swallows waders, puffy layers, spare boots, decoy gloves, and still zips…well, rolls…shut. Side buckles let you compress the load; reinforced handles make it drag-proof.
Best for: Long trips, basecamp organization, late-season layers.
5) Outfitter DryPak Float Shotgun Case
Why it makes the cut: Your shotgun should never swim—but if it does, this floats.
Field notes: Waterproof, floatable construction with roll-top closure and welded seams. Dense foam keeps the gun protected and buoyant; drain-friendly materials won’t sponge up stink. Strap/loop options make boat, blind, and snowmobile carry easy.
Best for: Waterfowl, marsh crossings, sloppy boat ramps, sleet-days.
