We’re all spot – and – stalk hunters, even though we may not think of ourselves as such. Shot opportunities can come at any time, often while simply traveling to or from our stands or blinds. Truth is, we’re hunting the second we set foot from the camp, truck or ATV.
Whether hunting with a firearm or archery equipment, spot-and-stalk hunters are best served by a hunting pack providing fast access to key equipment, while allowing a quick, unencumbered draw or rapid shouldering of the rifle. Tenzing invented that pack in 2012, with the release of their innovative TZ 1140. Now, they’ve refined their famed single-sling design in the all-new TX 11.4 – an affordable and formidable tool that’s destined to help hunters put more game on the ground… right now.
Weighing in at less than two pounds, the nimble TX 11.4 features a reversible and fully adjustable single-sling design that makes shouldering a gun or drawing a bow as fast and easy as wearing no pack at all. The key lies in Tenzing’s padded, adjustable waist belt system, which – unlike competing single-sling pack designs – effectively redistributes much of the pack’s weight from the hunter’s shoulder to his or her hips. A channeled, air-cooled back pad and a load-balancing lateral compression strap complete the package, making the TX 11.4 the most comfortable single-sling hunting pack available.
Core function and comfort aside, the deadly new TX 11.4 ups the ante with a variety of additional features that conspire to make it the fastest pack in the West (or, indeed, wherever it’s worn).
If Wild Bill Hickok was a bowhunter, he’d certainly endorse the TX 11.4’s custom bow sling hook and quick access quiver mount – a pair of well-executed design features that place bow and arrows within easy reach for lightning-fast shot preparation, while keeping both hands free for glassing or ranging. And speaking of optics, both Billy the Kid and Annie Oakley would fully approve of the location and design of the included optics/rangefinder compartment, affording immediate access to these key tools on the wearer’s right hip.
The fast-action theme continues throughout the rest of this unique pack’s design, which delivers a total of 750 cubic inches of storage in five compartments and five organization pockets. As with all Tenzing packs, access to the TX 11.4’s generous main compartment comes via oversized yellow color-keyed zippers. Two additional zippered face pockets and one additional zippered side pocket provide fast access and secure storage to key gear and supplies. Inside, five separate organization pockets keep smaller items from getting lost.
Spot-and-stalk hunters can get thirsty, but those wearing the all-new TX 11.4 won’t. It accommodates Tenzing’s best-of-class two-liter hydration bladder (sold separately).
Available in adaptable Realtree Xtra or versatile Kryptek Highlander camouflage, the shooter-friendly TX 11.4 is built to last with the best possible combination of materials and components, combining super soft, quiet and bur-resistant tricot fabric with 500D nylon and Hypalon reinforcement at all high stress points. Failsafe zipper pulls and the best available zipper systems ensure quiet and reliable operation. Like all Tenzing products, the new TX 11.4 is backed by the company’s Limited Lifetime Guarantee.
