i wish the x1 had more external tie downs. i went to REI and bought some tie downs to use creatively for sheds and whatever else i'd need to strap down to the outside of mine.

Ahh I see - thanks lope! And I am trying to decide between this pack and a 2200...
PacificNWhunter:
I just got the 2200 and really like it except for the fact that it only comes in one size. I have to have the waist belt pulled all the way snug on both sides to get it to fit and I have a 30-32" waist. I have contaced badlands and they are willing to shorten it for me, not sure if I want to do that yet or not. It might be nice in the future to have some more room to be able to tightend the waist. Keep us updated.

Well after a little digging around and a couple emails, I have both packs coming in the mail... I will let you guys know what my conclusion is after I get a chance to get my hands on both of them and put them to the test. I appreciate your guys help and thoughts.
Intruder:
I've been looking at the Badlands/Black Creek (Jim Horn)/Eberlestock packs for about 6 months now. They all have pros/cons. From a pure quality perspective I'm not sure any are "better" than the others. Much of it will come down to fit, personal preference, and features wanted/needed. If I remember correctly, one of the features the X2 didn't have that I wanted was meat packing ability. I don't believe it is designed like the 2200 or the Jim Horn to really accomodate meat. That being said, the 2200 has some funky non-standard water bladder and the Jim Horn pack weighs a ton. Like I said, there are pros and cons. Fit and feel should be a major consideration though. A pack that is feature rich but feels like crap isn't going to be very useful for ya.
