ALPS OutdoorZ Launches 3 New Packs to the Award-Winning DEADQUIET® Line

ALPS expands the award-winning DeadQuiet Series with 3 evolutionary packs for enthusiast hunters. All 3 new entrants, the Apex Sling Pack, the run-and-gun Cruzer, and the day pack Proximity, are modern evolutions of high-performing ALPS predecessors packed with design upgrades and constructed of the proprietary layered DEADQUIET® fabric. Each is sure to lead the shelves as the newest solution in their category for big game and bowhunters this fall.

The foundation of this line, the DEADQUIET® layered fabric, is a proprietary design that offers a silent external surface, an intermediary waterproof membrane, and a suede inner backing, ensuring critical suppression for intense hunting scenarios and ultimate protection for performance hunting gear. Offered in both Coyote Brown and Mossy Oak Original Bottomland, the DEADQUIET® line delivers more than premium organization and extreme durability; it sets the mark for innovation in pack material.

APEX SLING PACK

As minimalist tactics continue to trend among technical whitetail and bow hunters, evolution of gear is a requirement. The new Apex Sling Pack answers that call and is designed for modern hunters. The Apex offers a no-fluff solution for those looking to carry only what they need in an easily organized fashion. A sleek and lightweight design with functionality at the core, this ambidextrous pack features a modular shoulder strap for easy transition and comfortable carry. The Apex is supported by Molle webbing on the side walls and floor of the pack for endless and customizable accessory attachment. From essential gear to your saddle, the Apex can be accessorized to fit specific needs. Silent, ergonomic, and weatherproof, the Apex Sling Pack sets the new standard for minimalist hunting.

CRUZER

For those on-the-go hunters looking for more capacity with increased specialized efficiency, the new DEADQUIET® Cruzer provides more organization, expandable capabilities, and integration of onboard hydration. This compact daypack splits capacity between a spacious main compartment and two front pockets for convenient prioritization of hunting essentials. The front kangaroo pocket is equipped with quick-access organizational sleeves, allowing you to effortlessly access all your necessary items in silence. Equipped with side compression straps for added support, including the added weight of a filled hydration sleeve, manageable weight is an effortless haul. Heavy loads are carried easily on the new contoured ergonomic shoulder strap design and can be stabilized by the webbing-style removable waist belt. The ultra-rigid Cruzer is built to withstand the rigors of hunting, as the leading compact daypack for hunters on the move.

PROXIMITY

The Alpha of DEADQUIET®, the new Proximity daypack, is engineered for the enthusiast bowhunter. Silent, ergonomic, rigid, and utilitarian. The Proximity delivers complete suppression, effective organization, unrivaled structure, untamed versatility, and a sleek look that will have the whole camp drooling. This pack is built to manage the payload of a complete setup, with 8 compression straps, customizable ladder webbing, and an innovated tubular featherweight frame for structure without bulk. With 1400 cubic inches of capacity and a removable accessory pouch, the Proximity is the choice for hunters seeking a greater amount of efficient storage. The ace in the sleeve is a strategically aligned, unique Diamond 3D air mesh padding blueprint. Tactically placed in the hot spots of shoulder straps, waist belt, and back panel, ensuring added technical breathability and built-to-last quality that will keep enthusiasts comfortable for years, no matter the demands of the hunt.

This new DEADQUIET® lineup is the solution for whitetail and bowhunters seeking the ultimate in function, durability, protection, and efficiency in reliable compact designs. For more information on the complete DEADQUIET® line, or other hunting gear from ALPS OutdoorZ, visit www.alpsoutdoorz.com.
