Title: Badlands "The Ox"?
Post by: alecvg on November 29, 2009, 08:15:15 PM: Hey guys,
Looking at buying the Ox pack from Badlands after I sell my Eberlestock J104. Has anyone heard anything on this pack? I have searched the web, and haven't found any info or reviews. It looks nice, and the packframe could be really nice, its not huge, but it would work for shorter trips. Any info or input?

There is just a couple prototypes floating around out there. I had my hands on one at the ATA show in Indiana earlier this year and its a sweet pack frame, very light weight! Hopeing to get one myself!

Send it back.... Badlands Warranty staff and repair ppl are the best in the industry... Hands down! I got my 2200 stitched up and slightly modified by their people and their turnaround rate was first class!
