This time I have a chance to write about their backpack, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.divebombindustries.com\/products\/waterproof-zip-backpack\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-dive-bomb-waterproof-zip-backpack-review\" title=\"Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack: Dry Gear Wins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack<\/a>, and it is made for the part of hunting that never seems to stay dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is more than a bag and not really a full-size backpack. It lands in that useful middle ground where I can fill it with the things I actually need in the blind, boat, or flooded timber without hauling more pack than the hunt requires. The ability to fill it and keep things dry is worth a ton, especially when the weather decides to make everything difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bag-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack with MOLLE loops and compact hunting gear storage\" class=\"wp-image-246213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bag-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bag-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bag-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bag-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bag-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Bag-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is more than a bag and not really a full-size backpack, but the ability to fill it and keep things dry is worth a ton.

The seams are welded, and waterproof zippers ensure the inside stays dry. Like many of Dive Bomb&#8217;s inventory of bags and packs, the Zip Pack is full of practical features meant for wet, dirty, gear-heavy hunts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The zipper deserves attention because it is the part you will use over and over again with cold fingers or gloved hands. The large \u201cT\u201d handles make that easier. At first, the zipper will be tight, but with lube, it will loosen up some while remaining water-tight. That tightness is part of the bargain when the whole point of the pack is to keep the weather on the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zipper-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack waterproof zipper with glove-friendly T handles\" class=\"wp-image-246214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zipper-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zipper-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zipper-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zipper-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zipper-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zipper-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The zipper adds a nice little feature with the \u201cT\u201d handle on both zippers for gloved and cold hands.

When you zip things up tight, it gives you the ability to bleed off any trapped air. Having to include a relief valve is a testament to the watertight feature of the backpack.

The zippered top even includes grease for ease in opening and lubrication to keep it working for many years. I found the grease was necessary to keep the zipper from becoming hard to open and close. I greased it often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not a drawback that should surprise anyone using a serious waterproof zipper. When a zipper is built to seal out water, it needs attention. The included grease is a small addition that becomes a real asset to the longevity of the bag, especially for hunters who use gear hard and put it away after wet mornings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zip-Grease-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Included DB Zip Grease for maintaining the Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack zipper\" class=\"wp-image-246220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zip-Grease-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zip-Grease-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zip-Grease-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zip-Grease-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zip-Grease-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Zip-Grease-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is a must for your bag, and including it in the price of the bag is an asset to the longevity of the bag.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-much-hunting-gear-fits-inside-the-dive-bomb-pack\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Hunting Gear Fits Inside the Dive Bomb Pack?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In all, there is just over a cubic foot of space to stuff all your hunting supplies that need to be kept dry.

A clip and strap are included for keys or whatever you want to secure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have to ask the question: just how much can one put into a pack like this? For me, I just keep stuffing things in that I know I may need and find the access to the top, big, and easy to use. The zipper should be lubricated to ensure long life and allow it to move freely. Waterproof performance is valuable, but access still matters when the ducks are working, and you need gear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The front pouch, which also has a water-tight zipper, is great for adding in small stuff like your phone, license, or flat items. There are no fewer than 23 durable nylon loops, plus two heavily reinforced loops and two water bottle pouches. These all come in handy when the haul out includes your limit of ducks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-final-verdict-a-dry-place-for-the-gear-you-count-on\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Verdict: A Dry Place for the Gear You Count On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack is not a giant expedition pack, and it does not need to be. It is a practical, well-featured pack for the hunter who keeps finding himself around water, mud, rain, wet boats, and blinds where dry storage is always at a premium. Between the welded TPU shell, waterproof zippered storage, padded straps, pressure relief valve, interior organization, exterior loops, and included zipper grease, this pack provides a lot of function in a compact package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know from experience with Dive Bomb products that keeping hunting gear dry is where they earn their place. When your shells, calls, phone, license, snacks, gloves, and spare layers all need one dependable home, a waterproof hunting backpack like this makes plenty of sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MSRP:<\/strong> $179.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-dive-bomb-waterproof-zip-backpack-specifications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack Specifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Model<\/th><td>Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Construction<\/th><td>Waterproof TPU shell with welded seams<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Main Compartment<\/th><td>100% waterproof zippered compartment with included DB Zip Grease<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Interior<\/th><td>Two internal pouches and two smaller reinforced pen pouches<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Exterior Storage<\/th><td>Water-tight front pouch, two water bottle pouches, 23 durable nylon loops plus two heavily reinforced loops<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Dimensions<\/th><td>13\u201d wide, 19\u201d tall, and 7\u201d thick<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Weight<\/th><td>2 pounds 7 ounces<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Colors<\/th><td>Seven colors, including Carbon Green, Carbon Tan, Carbon Brown, Blaze Orange, Stalk, and Bark<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>MSRP<\/th><td>$179.00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-dive-bomb-zip-pack-pros-and-cons-dry-gear-wins-grease-required\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dive Bomb Zip Pack Pros and Cons: Dry Gear Wins, Grease Required<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Waterproof TPU shell, welded seams, waterproof main compartment, roomy top access, padded straps, chest strap, pressure relief valve, interior organization, numerous exterior loops, water bottle pouches, and included DB Zip Grease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cons:<\/strong> It is not really a full-size backpack, and the tight waterproof zipper needs regular lubrication to stay easy to open and close.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-related-reads-from-gunsamerica-digest\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Reads from GunsAmerica Digest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-dive-bomb-industries-dry-blind-bag\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-dive-bomb-waterproof-zip-backpack-review\" title=\"Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack: Dry Gear Wins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dive Bomb Industries&#8217; Dry Blind Bag<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-blindgrass-waterproof-dryshell-bag\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-dive-bomb-waterproof-zip-backpack-review\" title=\"Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack: Dry Gear Wins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BlindGrass Waterproof DryShell Bag<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/mystery-ranch-metcalf-75-backcountry-hunting-pack-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-dive-bomb-waterproof-zip-backpack-review\" title=\"Dive Bomb Waterproof Zip Backpack: Dry Gear Wins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mystery Ranch Metcalf 75: Backcountry Hunting Pack Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rain, mud, wet boats, and flooded timber have a talent for finding the gear you need most.
