In an effort to help hunters keep shells, chokes, and other necessary gear organized, protected, and readily accessible in sloppy waterfowl hunting conditions, ALPS OutdoorZ has debuted its Pit Blind Bag. The bag features a large pop-open main compartment with a removable divider to customize the content load. Additional interior pockets keep smaller items separated and within easy reach. Outside, the bag boasts two hold-open pockets, designed to keep different shells organized and quickly accessible when switching between shot loads. An extra-large exterior pocket is also included to provide storage for a thermal beverage container, or for use as an additional gear storage option.
Two sewn-in carry handles flank the rugged zippered top, while a removable, adjustable and padded shoulder strap offers hands-free carry. Rounding out the key features is a waterproof, molded bottom panel to provide added support and content protection when the bag is sitting on wet ground.
For more information on the Pit Blind Bag, which weighs in at 3-pounds empty, and comes finished in Realtree Timber or Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat, check out alpsoutdoorz.com. MSRP: $69.99
