Daypacks which one?
« on: January 11, 2011, 09:30:33 AM »
Ok, so I know this has been discussed before and I have searched, I am looking for a new daypack for day hunts, I am looking for something that will hold my rifle occasionally, I would like to be able to pack out a light load of meat for the first trip if need be, I have been looking at badlands superday and ultra day also X1 and X2 will these work for this? any suggestions? Thank You.

I have the superday. It will hold your gun or bow well. Is very comfortable. You would be hard pressed to haul much game out in it IMO. But for a day pack it is great.

I use my Badlands 2800 almost exclusively for my day pack now.

I have found that people's opinions on the size of daypacks will vary greatly. I used to own a X1 and I would say that it will do what you say you need it to do. I think it is 2100 cu. in. The scabbard feature is awesome. I now have a j104 and some would call that a day pack. It will definitely do what you want and then some.
My buddy has a superday and it is very small if you want it to carry meat.

I have the Eberlestock J104 but I haven't tried any of the others so I can't say how it compares. But it has worked well for me although I have not used it a lot. I love the rifle scabbard, and I have packed a mule deer out in it and it worked just as it should for that purpose.

I'd stay away from the superday if you want to pack quarters.

The 2200 is 2x the pack that the superday is, especially if packing a quarter out is a concern. The "holsters" for your sidearm on them are a neat selling point but are really hard to reach and not all they're cracked up to be.

I have tried a lot of packs some work for me some don't .I use a blacks creek westerner.I don,t carry quarters but have carried elk backstraps,boned out deer and bear in it.it has an internal frame and carries my normal 30lb daypack load comfortably.it is a front load with a rear top load compartment,is holster compatable and hydration compatable.blacks creek from Idaho has other larger packs as well but this one fits me, my 2cents.

Thanks for the fast replies, does the x1 make your back sweat? I have read a lot about badlands making your back hot.

What about Cabelas packs, anyone uses these? I have looked at some online but have not seen them in person yet. I looked at a Kelty Cordova yesterday any opinions on these?
