Badlands Packs--? about size to buy

[bowfiend]

I was skeptical, but the 2200 DOES carry elk quarters well :>) My only gripe is that I get very hot in september. The foam back holds a lot of heat.

Bowfriend:
The Badlands Hypervent is a tad smaller than the 2200 but is suppose to address this problem.Has anyone out there had experience with the Hypervent?

I also have the 2200 and the Monster fanny.I would never use anything else again!!!

Don't intend do hijack but with all these Badlands users I need to ask a question. Where do you guys position the waistbelt? Over top of your pants belt, which will prevent carrying anything on the pants belt, or above the pants belt thus freeing up the pants belt to carry other items. Reason that I ask is that I have the Superday and the Monster and I normally always carry a handgun on my pants belt when afield. Thanks, Jim

I recently purchased a 2200 after a LOT of research.  And though I have only worn it around here a little so far, the features and workmanship are superb.  I feel it would be hard to beat.  The next size down though and you lose the meat shelf design.  If you want to haul with it on an elk hunt or whatever, go 2200. Plenty big enough unless you go on like week long excursions taking tent and such.

There is a place you can hang your gun on the 2200 belt.  That is where I have my Oldtimer!  My brothers all carry handguns out west hunting elk.  I tell them I am safer when I am alone!

bowdude?

The 2200 you can pack quarters right???
Does the 2200 have good interior pockets, can you organize it well is what I am asking.

Thankyou,

Jason

I opted for the 4500. I would rather have too much room than not enough. But I do use it for multiply days out. When I get an animal down I know it will take me less trips to get it out too.
