I tried really hard to keep this backpack, but in the end the negatives convinced me to return it. The concept is great. A pack with rigid sides should make it easier to locate items within. Here are the reasons I am returning the backpack.1. The male sections of all the buckles are cheap and flimsy. Could easily be broken.2. The two side pockets need double zippers on them. You cannot center the zipper. Items could easily fall out while up in the tree.3. The main center pocket that flips down has the same issue. When flipping down, items could fall out.4. It has two locations for a water bladder tube. There are no openings for the tube. Apparently I have to cut my own openings? The openings should already be slit and sewn.5. All the pockets are labeled. Child like.6. Daisy chains on each side of the front panel would have been nice. Like on some of your other packs.7. The cell pocket and range finder pockets could be larger. I was not going to use those pockets for those items. Other items would have been placed in them.I really liked the concept of the Hangtime Day Pack. If the above items ever get addressed, I would consider ordering again. The item is being returned.

So I’ll start with the pros.1. The ability to have everything organized is great for the ocd people.2. It has just enough straps to hold your gear that doesn’t fit inside.3. The wider shoulder straps even out the load on your shoulders.4. The pack fits between your shoulders so you can still maneuver your arms and not hit your pack.5. I would say over all it handles very well I’ve had no issues with zippers they are pretty quite as well.Now for some cons.1. (It’s heavy!)2. It does not sit well on your hips to allow the weight off of your shoulders.The side pockets unzip from the bottom to the top and if you’re not careful items will fall out.I wish it only had one side pocket so as to make it easier to strap gear( climbing sticks) on the side.3. The hip belt pockets are a little big so you can’t synch the hip belt enough to allow the weight of the pack to adjust from your shoulders to your hips.4. If you have the main compartment loaded it makes it difficult to utilize the bino and range finder pockets.Over all it’s not a bad pack I do enjoy using it. I wish there could be a few changes to it but over all it’s not a bad pack. The value for your buck might be a little high but not by much.

Zippers are too fine. Separate easily. I do not recommend until these are remanufactured to work without a fight in the stand.

I have numerous back packs (over10) but this one is the best. This back pack keeps it's form. The pack has labels on each pocket. It's organized correctly so when hunting in a stand I can locate items easily. It's just a great back pack.

This pack could be ok for someone walking a few hundred yards to a tree stand but is not well designed for all day hiking in wilderness hills. It is too long and narrow such that the backside of the hard manufactured bottom rubs against ones lower back/butt. When I bend over to go beneath overhanging branches that bottom hardshell catches on my pant belt and pushes my pants down on the back when I stand back up. It should be 3 inches shorter and 3 to 4 inches wider. I hunt moose and small game so the narrow tube like design is restrictive for putting game inside the main enclosed compartment. The zippers are stiff against the hard shell structures. The zipper for the back drop-down compartment are very hard to open and will likely break quickly. At my age I am very tired of fighting things in life so I am sending this one back immediately. Zippers on hard shell material are not a marriage made in heaven. The shoulder straps are a bit too wide such that they will impede you when wearing a hunting coat and trying to swing your gun on flying bird or running rabbit.

Tenzing hit a home run with this tree stand pack. I like how they organized the pockets so that your gear is easy to get to in the stand. The bag keeps its shape which is another plus making access from the top access point hassle free. It comes with a creative storage compartment at the bottom with a Plano box which can be great for storing broadheads, licenses etc and I like that pockets are labelled. Now the negatives - I wish the bag came with a couple more straps to secure gear (it has 1). The zippers are not color coded which is a common Tenzing feature and they aren't smooth as if material is getting caught. I've used this pack on a few hunts and if it's as durable as other Tenzing packs it's an easy decision to pull the trigger.
