I'm a pretty small framed guy and can't get the Badlands to fit me properly around the waist.

I have had mine for almost 2 years and have learned that I can't rely on the straps integrated to the pack to hold loads on. They start tot tear off. Now I use paracord and secure the loads to the plastic loops on the pack and it is holding up much better.

There's too many pack companies that make their gear in America to waste your money on badlands which makes their stuff in Vietnam. Plus the American made stuff is more durable and better. Mystery Ranch, Kifaru, Kiuiu, Nimrod, Wilderness Pack Specialties, Oregon Pack Specialties and Horn Hunter are all too notch American Made packs which will last longer and carry heavier loads better than the stuff made in Asia.

Like fillthefreezer said if I can I support Made in America stuff.
