I have been using a badlands pack for about 5 years.
I have an old day pack (before it was an ultraday , so it doesn't have hydration).

I have a 4500 for elk hunting.

I'm looking to pick up a used 2200.

Their packs are great. If they tear, rip, zipper breaks. You send them back and they fix them - for free.

Love my 2200. Packed out a bunch of elk using the meat shelf and it worked like charm.

I bought a superday pack last year and love it!
Well made lots of room and plenty of pockets.
Also very comfortable to wear.

I use my 2200 on a daily basis in my winter job, I wish my body could handle wear & tear as well as the pack does.

I also have a older day pack that they discontined, it folds down into a fanny pack and is very handy for the quick light trips.

Customer service is great, I had trouble with the plastic buckle failing in extreme cold. They sent spares so I wouldn't have to send it in for a fix.

The 2200 has been overloded, folded, spindled and mutalated, still going strong. I've used it 5 years now.
I'm saving my pennys for the cool back 2800 (I think thats the next size up)

Been using a Monster fanny for a couple of years now and love it. Plan on getting a backpack here soon.

I have a 2200 and a Hypervent. Both are great packs. If they could combine the meat packing capabilities of the 2200 with the vented back and waist band pockets of the hypervent, it would be just about the perfect hunting pack.

Have a Superday. Comfortable tough pack. Warranty can't be beat. I've had zero problems. I wish it has more water resistant to protect clothing inside.

Aloha,

I have a 2800 and love it. Has enough outside pockets to organize all your stuff and da "bat" wings fold out so you can strap in your game.

Here we spot and stalk so carrying a comfortable pack all day is very important to me. Yesterday I spent all day---6:00am to 6:45pm hunting with my pack on. The only time I took da pack off was when I close to animals or break for lunch/rest. It sinches up and balances well with loads. If you can, try one on to see if it feels comfortable.
