Badlands
Badlands 3D
A 1,400 ci pack born from 3D archery competition, with quick-access arrow quivers on both sides, a bow boot with external straps for hands-free bow carry, and contoured extra-padded shoulder straps shaped to stay out of your shooting motion. Note: despite sometimes being pitched as a turkey/timber pack, Badlands designed and markets it for 3D archery events - and it doubles as an archery day pack.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Dual side quivers give rapid access to spare arrows - one TAC shooter carried 18 arrows plus tools for a 3-day, 27-mile event
- ✓Contoured, extra-padded shoulder straps are shaped so drawing a bow all day is unhindered - the pack's signature design goal
- ✓Big open main compartment with structured sides that stay open when the bag isn't full, making gear easy to grab
- ✓Included bow boot and external straps give a solid hands-free bow carry option
- ✓Padded AirTrack back suspension praised as comfortable over long courses ('eats up the added weight')
- ✓Removable reverse-tightening waistbelt with MOLLE webbing for attachments
- ✓Hydration compatible with dual side exit ports, plus a microsuede pocket that protects sunglasses
- ✓Backed by Badlands' unconditional lifetime warranty; all 6 manufacturer-site reviews are 5-star
Cons
- ✗Sold out on badlandsgear.com as of July 2026 - restocks appear seasonal, so buying can mean waiting
- ✗Only 6 reviews on the manufacturer site and very little independent forum discussion yet, so the 5.0 rating is a small sample
- ✗At 1,400 ci (~23 L) it's a day pack only - no capacity for overnight gear
- ✗3.2 lb is heavy for a 23 L pack; the archery-specific structure adds weight
- ✗Quiver sleeves and archery-specific layout add bulk that's wasted if you're not carrying arrows
- ✗No rain cover included
- ✗No hipbelt pockets, and no meat-hauling capability for western hunts
- ✗Badlands doesn't publish the fabric spec for this pack, making material comparisons hard
