Tenba adds ultralight backpack

The Shootout Ultralight backpack from Tenba, Elmsford, NY, weighs less than 48 ounces, yet has the capacity to fit a full-size pro digital camera system with one or two bodies, three to five lenses and all the usual accessories.

According to product manager Peter Waisnor, the company “spent months designing a really functional, protective and feature-filled backpack, then spent a few more months figuring out how to leave in all the muscle and get rid of all the fat.” The backpack, he says, weighs less than any comparable backpack in Tenba’s history, “yet makes no functional compromises.”

The Shootout Ultralight is constructed of a rugged combination of nylons, chosen for their durability and water-resistance yet minimal weight. Every exterior opening is has a gasket-sealed YKK zipper, for extreme weather protection. The Ultralight also features a padded camera insert – Switchback Module – that can be used facing either the front or back of the pack. When reversed inside the bag, the camera gear can only be accessed through a discreet rear door on the harness side. Zipper pulls accommodate any small luggage lock.

Other features include a variety of accessory and media pockets and organizers, as well as Tenba’s fast-deploying WeatherWrap auxiliary rain cover.

The backpack is available in black/olive, silver/black and black/black color combinations.
