Who decided an upland hunting vest should be made out of stiff canvas or waxed cotton? Traditions run deep. We get it. But just because these materials were the best things available to farmers and sailors 100 years ago doesn’t mean they should earn immortality on the backs of today’s hunters.

It’s time for a better upland bird vest. Tenzing made it two years ago in the form of the TZ BV13 Upland Bird Vest. Now they’ve made it even better,

The all-new Tenzing TZ BV15 Upland Bird Vest is the next evolution in Tenzing performance for the upland hunter. The one-of-kind TZ BV15 Upland Vest takes all the features upland hunters want in a vest and combines them with the functionality of a pack to provide the ultimate bird-hunting accessory.

Like all Tenzing packs, the TZ BV15 is a dream to wear, courtesy of its thick, air-cooled back pad and fully adjustable padded shoulder and waist belt straps. Two sizes are offered to ensure a proper fit on almost any hunter.

The shell of the new TZ BV15 is constructed out of ultra strong 100 percent cotton Ripstop fabric, which is extremely durable and will not pick up any burrs – an improvement over the TZ BV13. Shoulder straps, waist belt and other high stress areas are reinforced with Dyneema, a fiber with a tensile strength stronger than steel, but light enough to float on water. The vest is finished in an attractive olive green color, with the added security of a hunter orange pullover for safety while afield.

The mesh game pocket of the TZ BV15 has also been improved, offering larger side openings for easier access and a new coating on the mesh material to make it more durable, stain resistant and burr free.

In addition to the game pocket, the Tenzing TZ BV15 provides upland game hunters with approximately 2000 cubic inches of storage for gloves, radios, collar accessories, choke tubes, ammunition and more inside a total of 13 pockets and compartments. Shells remain at-the-ready, individually cradled in 14 shot shell loops.

First introduced at the Archery Trade Association (ATA) Show in January 2012, the Tenzing line of innovative, high-tech, high performance packs are engineered and built to help hunters go farther, stay longer, and comfortably carry incredible loads in and even bigger ones back out.

Tenzing packs are constructed from the finest materials available, including the world’s strongest fiber, Dyneema, and designed to be the lightest, most rugged, best organized and most versatile packs on the market. Tenzing packs are fully adjustable to result in a perfect fit for any hunter.
