This review is on the KOLPIN BOWTECTOR bow case. I was not a fan of soft cases until I tried the Bowtector case on a recent weeklong trip to western Alberta with a friend. During this hunt my truck stayed at camp with the camper on it while we used Randy’s truck to travel to the day's hunting areas. I decided to give the Bowtector a test as we were having a lot of rain and "gumbo mud” and the hard cases were a pain to use in the dark.

The ease of access to my bows was great and protection they received was better than any soft case that I have ever used. The rhino ribbing and stiff foam padding provides a great deal of protection that is not normally found on soft cases. When an arrow box is kept in the side sleeve the Bowtector provides even more protection.

After the first day of using the "BOWTECTOR" it became my case of choice for day hunts. The lightweight and ease of access were its greatest assets. While it will not provide the protection required to ship a bow on any airline it is certainly more than adequate for transporting and protecting your bow when you have control over the way it is handled. It takes less space than the hard cases, will hold your bow with the quiver on it and provides protection against mud dirt and moderate bumps and spills.

For those of you that take your bow to the stand/blind in its case the Bowtector is quiet and lightweight. It is camo covered on 1 side for concealment, and although not recommended by kolpin, it does make a warm, dry padded seat or kneeling pad in the blind if you do take it into the field with you.

I highly recommend the KOLPIN “BOWTECTOR” cases as the best “soft type” bow case that I have used. They offer a great deal of protection and are very user friendly.
