Badland Packs, Baddest a$$ packs on the Market

[Bearhunter]

I am here to tell you guys, if you dont have a badlands pack yet, go get one.  I own many packs which include Bull Pacs, Sitka Bivy 45, Eberlstock J104, Eberlstock Sling Shot, 2 Kings packs and various others.  Ive had my Badlands 2800 for probably over 7 years, and am finally breaking it down with the use and abuse its been through, I always end up using my Badlands over all the others.  So I called there customer service today, and I am here to tell you its unparreled!  The guys not only know packs but they know how to take care of there customers.  I will quarantee you one thing I will never buy anything but badlands again.  The new Sitka Bivy 45 I bought last winter, well its going to the wayside.  Im going with a New Badlands Ox when they come available!  Sitka makes great clothing but there packs dont quite stack up to Badlands!  Heres a few pictures off my work computer of a few animals Ive taken while toting my trusty old 2800!

Here, Here!  I just bought one and love it so far.  In fact, I think I'm going to buy my wife a 2200 for when we go out together.  She doesn't hunt with me so I'll have another choice for shorter trips or scouting trips.  They do rock!

  I got one and I love it, but I have not seen my kitty, bull and big buck yet

I bought a badlands Superday pack and love it. Feels so good, I hardly know its there.

[Bearhunter]

What I love about mine is that it hits my body configuration perfectly, I hardly even notice its there until I fill it with meat.  Load those new packs up with gear and food and hit the hills, it will happen!

that one picture shows the pack with four wheels? I will agree with ya, they are nice. I own and use the sitka 45. When I buy another it will be the badlands 4500. I won't touch the OX until they shave some lbs. on that bad boy. Which I know they are trying to do

[sako223]

Superday pack here too. They did a great job, the good fit pays back like good boots.

[Bearhunter]

Yes there is four wheels in the one picture, Its nice to every once in a while you find them close to an accessible old grade.  Sure does keep the load in the pack lite.  Had to pack this years bull just a little over a mile, all down hill though.

[WAcoueshunter]

I'm a Badlands believer.  I've seen my cousin's 2200 do several miles with two bone in hind quarters off a good NM bull.  Probably 125+ pounds on that pack.  No problem (well, at least not for the pack).  Last week I had 80 lbs. or so (backstraps, tloin, liver, heart, both front quarters, hide) strapped to my RT Day Pack.  No problem.  When we got back to camp, I unloaded everything out of my pack, walked down to the creek, and hand washed the blood out of the pack.  Next day it was already dry and almost no sign of blood anywhere.  Couldn't be happier.

I have an old 2200? 2800? not sure which. It is from before they stitched it on. I also have a new 4500. My old one is starting to rip out in 3 places. And I have broke 2 buckles on my new 4500. But they are both very comfortable packs. I have extremely overloaded both of them. I delt with customer service once, it was painless. Overall very happy with mine, but I don't know if I will be as fond of the new 2800. I think it is too choppy, and quite heavy. And I don't think the shoulder straps are as comfortable as the old ones. I was thinking of trying Blacks Creek bonecollector 2.5.

[Bearhunter]

Bow-n-head, I dont think the blacks creek straps will be any more comfortable than the new badlands style shoulder straps.  I think they went away from the thicker more padded straps to cut down on some weight.  My buddys loaded 2800 seemed very comfortable, just as much so as my old pack.  If weight is an issue stay away from the Eberlstock the are heavy packs, nice to have a convenient scabbered though. 

[bow4elk]

Couldn't agree more!  And just when you think it can't get any better...it always does!

I have a badlands Hypervent and love it!  I think after this season, I am gonna sell my Eberlestock J104, and buy the new 4500.  I want them to make a long trip pack that is like 6500 - 7500 c.u. though.  Eventually I want to get the Mysteryranch 6500, but I can't quite afford it right now.

I would wait until they redesign the stays ( polycarbonate frames). Mine broke this year and were replaced for free, without sending the pack in. The guy I talked to said they are almost done designing some carbon fiber ones to replace the poly. They are supposed to be stronger than the poly and outlast aluminum.
