Good input from everyone. I'm interested to see all the info on this one.
I also had a Badlands 2200 and got rid of it. May be a good pack but didn't like how it fit on me.
Not a day pack but, I've got a Kelty external framed larger pack that I've used for packing all my gear in ~5 miles and the bags come off easy and it packs meat great. Are the day packs designed to pack meat also?? All the ones I've used don't have the support I would want with a quarter on my back.
