Blocker Outdoors’ new Shield Backpack offers core functionality with surprising affordability.
It all started when the Blocker Outdoors sales, marketing, and product development teams collectively decided to add a basic backpack. Made sense, too, given Blocker’s existing collection of hunting gear was shy of a pack. What the teams didn’t initially realize, however, is how awesome the finished Shield Backpack would turn out…
“It really is lot of pack for the price,” said Blocker Outdoors Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “I suppose we could have built a simple backpack and called it a day. But instead, we pushed the limit on features and quality and kept it under 100 bucks.” An incredible value, the rugged 600-denier Shield Backpack yields a roomy 2,000 cubic inches of interior space, which is impressive for a daypack. Beyond the generous real estate, though, it’s how Blocker capitalized on every square inch. “On the inside, its loaded with secure storage options,” said Allie. “On the inside of the main compartment there are several pouches, some zippered and others secured with elastic – more pouches on the inside of the zippered door flap, as well as the inner sides. There’s also a main ‘laptop’ compartment, which is pretty cool.”
To that, Blocker’s Shield Backpack is outfitted to manage a water bladder system for hydration on the go. On the exterior, accoutrements begin with a pair of side-saddled mesh water bottle pouches with elastic closures. Generous MOLLE strips promote carabiners and associated tools. Lastly, Blocker added a front zippered pocked for supplementary storage.
A backpack isn’t worth its weight in dollar bills, though, if it isn’t comfortable and fitted. To that, the Shield Backpack features a padded mesh back, as well as amply padded, adjustable, and wide shoulder straps. To finish the fit and reduce carrying fatigue, the backpack offers removable and adjustable sternum and waist straps. Whether hiking or hunting, Blocker’s new value-priced Backpack will exceed your expectations.
