I have owned the Badlands 2200 pack for about 12 years. I have put it through every condition you can imagine from carrying Lone wolf stand and sticks to the whiteail woods every year, 4 elk hunts and a mule deer hunt. It is tough. The few broken zippers and worn material has been fixed without question by Badlands. Their unconditional lifetime warranty is second to none. I have recently bought the Mirage Tent and Cinder -10 sleeping bag which will be put to the test in September. We bought my daughter the Calli pack for her elk hunt. My experience with Badlands has made me a return customer. I have not tried any of their clothing.
