Great product, great price! - Badlands 2200 Hunting Pack

Firstly, Opticsplanet has by far the fastest shipping I've ever experienced and I'm a Amazon prime member. Their prices could not be beat and with the coupon I used, it almost feels like I'm stealing from them. Secondly, this pack is the real deal. I'm that guy that has used the same rucksack for 10 years and love it. The setup to get it to fit comfortably was extremely easy. Very well thought out design and surprisingly stable for a non full framed pack. The material is soft and durable, pockets are well spaced and managed with the exception of the pockets and holster on the hip pads. I don't think thats a mark against the company, it's probably more a mark against my waistline. All the zippers are thick and heavy. I've read reviews of older models having zipper problems but it looks like they may have rectified that situation. The product isn't made in the USA but I imagine that's sadly to keep costs down. I'm an Eberlestock guy and was very close to getting the Team Elk pack but I'm happy I chose Badlands. The capacity of this pack is a MASSIVE understatement. I compared it with my halftrack and I figured they'd be close. NOPE, their is at list 400-500 extra CI in the 2200. The material and overall build is just way more robust. That comes with a weight cost for sure but, I'm more about longevity and durability over a few ounces on my back. All in all, this is a literal and figurative tank on your back. I wouldn't bat an eye to take this pack anywhere. Very pleased with ny decision.
