Buy Badlands 2200 Backpack Now
I purchased the 2200 last September for a Wyoming deer hunt. I loved almost everything about this pack. The bad: a) the flap pockets are not wide and big enough to hold a compact spotting scope. I had a difficult time storing and removing my compact spotting scope, a Nikon ED 50 straight field scope, without the tripod attached; b) The two compression straps attached to the folding compartments are too far apart to properly compress any type of load being carried inside of the flaps; and, c) SHORT and MEDIUM framed individuals beware! This pack was designed for tall men or men with long upper body torsos. I am 5'9& tall and the pack did not fit well. I have many different brand backpacks and have always used packs with mid-sized frames; however, there was no way of properly adjusting the pack to fit my torso. Aside from the above, this is great pack with nice features. I sold my 2200 to a friend, who is 6' tall, and he absolutely loves it. I recently tried on a Badlands 2800 and it fits my shorter torso much better so I will be buying 2800 as soon as Badlands announces their 2013 lineup.Its a good pack. I would have liked more pockets. The side pockets don't reach far enough around that I can take stuff out when the pack is on.Quality materials and function. Great pocket layout; I ike the one shoulder use and ease of access without setting it down.Badlands 2200 Backpack
