Tenzing TP14 Turkey Vest

By Jim Draper

Tenzing Packs has gone and done it again with their new turkey pack/vest the TP14. As with all Tenzing products, they spent tons of time designing and creating a top quality product. The first thing that made me take a liking to the TP14 was how unbelievably comfortable it was to sit in, and as an aging hardcore turkey hunter it seems that comfort is more important than it was when I first took to the woods 25 plus years ago. The TP14 is loaded with features such as a full aluminum internal frame structure, spring loaded adjustable legs to fit every hunter, offering a comfortable and steady shooting position, a fold down padded seat with a generous amount of padding, a padded backrest that is channeled for cooling, a dual waist band strap, specially designed pockets for all your calls, from a box call pocket with paddle silencer, two padded slate call pockets, locator call pockets and a detachable mouth call pouch. The TP14 also has plenty of other pocket space for whatever you carry to the field with you. It also is designed to add a water bladder for those late season hunts when the temps can get pretty warm and hydration is a must. The expandable turkey pocket with a hunter orange safety pullover makes carrying out that gobbler safe and easy. Not only is the TP14 great for turkey hunting, it is also a great crossover pack for the spot and stalk hunters or the hunter that enjoys hunting from the ground and wants to be comfortable and steady for that shot of a lifetime. I filmed several turkey hunts this past season and I loved having adequate room in the pack for all my camera gear.  It also allowed me to be very steady with the camera without being trapped to use a tripod that can sometimes make getting the birds on film difficult. I am also planning on taking the Tenzing TP14 out west with me this year on my Elk hunt, and I believe it is going to be a huge advantage being able to get set-up quick and be steady for a good clean shot. So if you are in the market for a turkey/hunting vest that will give you years of service and make your hunts more comfortable, give the Tenzing TP14 a look you won’t be let down.
