Tenzing Day Pack 2100 vs Tenzing Voyager
Quick take: The Tenzing Day Pack 2100 carries more (34 vs 33 liters); the Tenzing Day Pack 2100 is lighter (1.5 vs 3 lbs).
Which one to buy
Both cost $179.99, so this comes down to whether you sit or walk. The Tenzing Voyager is a stand-hunter's pack: quiet tricot outside, a trampoline suspension that holds the bag off a sweaty back, four lateral compression straps for a bow or rifle, a hydration sleeve and a waist belt that comes off when you don't need it. The Day Pack 2100 weighs 1.5 lbs, half the Voyager's 3.0 lbs, and is built for organization: 34 L across four compartments and 15 pockets, with an open face you can work one-handed, a molded lumbar pad and a five-point padded waistband.
For whitetail and turkey hunting from a stand or blind, the Voyager's quiet fabric and weapon carry outweigh the extra pound and a half. For hunters who hike between spots, the Day Pack 2100 is lighter on the back and easier to dig through, though its 300D polyester is lighter-duty and it has no hydration sleeve or weapon carry. Both are frameless and come without a load rating or rain cover.
