Badlands 3D

The ATX 25 tops Badlands' All-Terrain Xtreme lineup with 2,500 cubic inches, a lightweight internal T-6 aluminum frame, molded foam suspension, and a built-in blaze-orange meat shelf. At 3.85 lb it is one of the lighter framed haulers Badlands makes, and it stays compatible with the brand's SWAP accessory system, Bino Connect harnesses, and hydration reservoirs.

A whitetail treestand and saddle-hunting daypack built around the zipperless Swiftlatch opening system with quiet Fidlock magnetic fasteners. The 900 ci semi-rigid bag holds its shape so you can find gear one-handed at height, and a reinforced hanging loop plus magnetic front panel keep the main door open in the tree. Includes one modular SWAP grid for customizing interior storage.

A 1,100 ci lumbar/backpack hybrid that carries its load on the hips via a Delron Flex Frame and molded foam suspension, with a removable adjustable shoulder harness for backpack-style carry. Seven pockets, KXO-32 fabric with aramid bartacking, and 1L hydration compatibility round out a hip pack Badlands insists is more than a fanny pack.

The MRK 2 is the day-size meat hauler in Badlands' MRK (Mountain Range Killer) series, built around a stiff, lightweight Allite Super Magnesium internal frame with the Strata suspension and an adjustable torso. A Quick-Deploy meat-hauling shelf, built-in bow/rifle carry, and MOLLE Connect webbing make it a load-ready western day pack at 2,400 cubic inches.

The Hangtime is Tenzing's purpose-built treestand pack: a rigid EVA-molded shell that holds its shape and hangs open on a hook so you can reach gear one-handed at eye level, with 1,600 ci (26 L) split across 7 compartments and 15 organizer pockets. It weighs just 1 lb 14 oz, carries a removable ambidextrous bow carrier with a fold-out boot plus dual quiver attachment points, and is hydration compatible. MSRP is $249.99, though it routinely street-prices in the $175-200 range at Amazon, Lancaster Archery, and Sportsman's Warehouse.

A 33 L internal-framesheet hunting day pack that merges Kuiu's Venture and Divide designs, with a zip-open passthrough Divide pocket built to carry a rifle or a tripod with optics still attached. The main body is high-tenacity CORDURA 330D HT with a double-coated bottom, and a large exterior stuff-it pocket doubles as a compression panel anchored with Hypalon webbing. It replaced the Venture 1800/2300 in Kuiu's day-pack lineup.
