Landing Gear Waterfowl Elite Blind Pack Combo

The concept is very good, and it holds roughly one dozen AvianX floater decoys, but there are a few design and manufacturing flaws. First, the fabric that the decoy bag is made out of is not very tough. Granted, I hunt hard and go hard on gear, but I think most waterfowlers that buy something like are probably the doing the same. After using it for one trip (3 hunts) in SD this season, the decoy bag has a rip in it from the decoys. The bag also collects water more than a mesh bag does, (even though no bag is perfect in this regard) so when I took the bag into the slough and dumped the decoys, the bag got wet and I couldn't shake the water out well, so I was wet from holding it while setting dekes. Secondly, I didn't fill the backpack portion, so when I strapped the bag onto the backpack and shouldered it, the bottom of the bag kind of folded in on me and dug into my back. A frame system might alleviate this. It was not horrible though, and still better than carrying a decoy bag that constantly hits your legs when walking, plus a blind bag separate, plus a shotgun separate, plus a mojo, ect.... Finally, the bag is not waterproof, so know whatever is inside is going to get wet if the bag is exposed to water. I expect the decoy bag portion to maybe last this season, then I will be looking for a better constructed bag, but I will also expect to pay more for it. For the price, not a bad deal.

The overall of the pack is great! Good comfort, stores what i need in the field for the day. The decoy bag is a bit thin, could be a bit thicker. But as long as you don’t abuse it, it will hold a dozen decoys. Could use an upper strap opposite of gun side, that way the other pocket could hold my portable blind. I just use the decoy bag strap to keep it on. But for the price I highly recommend it and give it a strong7.5 rating.

Love the bag, got it kind of late in the season, I was stuck between this bag and the refuge runner from rig me right, I finally decided to give it a shot, I hunted with the bag hard the remaining month of the season I had it, as far as organzation and space it is perfect, easy to locate everything in the bag, plenty of space for everything needed. A couple minor issues but not absolute deal breakers, the stitching were the shoulder and waist straps are located is not strong. When I loaded the bag down with my shotgun, 4 boxes of shells, 2 mojos and a dozen decoys in the bag attachment one of the straps pulled off while heading in the swamp. Went home triple stitched it and it works perfect. The only other thing negative i would say about the bag is I would not carry in more than a dozen decoys strapped on to the bag especially if it's a difficult swamp. Aside from that it's excellent for what I wanted. Keeps my hands free heading in and out. Keeps everything organized.

I purchased this bag for this season and so far I am impressed with it. I am able to fit a mojo on the inside with plenty of room left for other items. The only down side to this pack is with the additional decoy bag that clips onto the backpack. The straps on this bag are poorly sewn and have already ripped from the bottom up. I am still trying to find a replacement bag that will work with this.

So I got my splash bad today super stoked to get it finally. Little did I know it has 2 bags with it one is the backpack and the other is a very thin mesh bottom bag for the decoys. The piggy back part of it is the decoy part. So not only having one bag but now 2 to carry in the back for more gear out on those miserable hunts will be a little more comfortable. Awesome.

This is a must have for hunting ducks in rivers or jumping tanks. I carried 4 boxes of shells, my waders, shotgun, decoys, snacks and water in the pack. Had to hike in about 1/4 mile to the river where I was hunting. I've done this before carrying all of my stuff and a bucket, never again!

Awesome pack wish I would have bought one years ago can't go wrong with this pack.

FINALLY ... a backpack that has room and stands upright to load and unload. Easy on the shoulders/back and lots of neat features.
