Product FAQs

1600 CI—about 300 CI more than the ATX 12's 1270 CI—making it better for all-day hunts with extra layers, snacks, tools, or a hydration bladder plus binos/rifle accessories. The 16 adds room without much extra weight (2.8 lbs vs. 1.76 lbs). Both are unstructured-ish daypacks but the 16 has the removable waistbelt for load versatility.
es—it's a standout feature. Reviews highlight how it shifts weight to the hips for comfort on heavier loads (e.g., extra gear or during extended carries). Remove it for lighter, streamlined use (like quick scouting or tree stand hikes). It's adjustable and helps with all-day comfort.
Highly rated for comfort thanks to the multi-layer foam suspension, molded back panel, and (when used) waistbelt. For larger builds, Badlands torsos generally suit 17–22" (medium/large frames).
Water-resistant with C0 DWR finish—it sheds light rain/snow/drizzle effectively in hunting conditions. Not fully waterproof; for heavy weather, use internal dry bags or a pack cover
Yes—dedicated hydration sleeve/compatibility (works with Badlands reservoirs or similar). SWAP system allows modular pouches; Bino Connect for quick binos access; compression straps and some webbing for attachments like trekking poles or extra gear.
Unconditional lifetime warranty: Badlands repairs, replaces, or refunds for any damage (normal use or not), free except outbound shipping. Submit claims online with photos; clean the pack first (soak in mild detergent, rinse, line dry—no machine wash/dry). Buckles/hardware replacements via email to parts@badlandspacks.com.

Reviews

Great pack

"This is my third badlands pack. So far it is everything I wanted it to be. Looks great, fits great, and plenty of room for gear. I love all the extra add on points too."

— Charles (5/5)

Really nice and cleverly designed bag

"Like it. Had it for 30 days now. Haven’t used it for hunting yet but it’s a good overall backpack. Comfortable with lots of nice features. Use it for hiking and for daily bike commute and 15” laptop fits easily together with extra stuff and spare clothes. The removable waistbelt is clever and easy to take off. Bought the medium size rain cover. Fits nice and tight and stays on even with the headwind from biking. Bino harness was easy to fit and comfortable for a single day hike in the North Cascades. And with the “no questions asked” lifetime warranty this feels like a good value for money product."

— Martin K. (5/5)

Great pack for saddle hunting Whitetails

"Was looking for a smaller pack for hunting whitetail out of a saddle set up. The ATX 16 carries my sticks and platform easily with plenty of extra room for layers, calls and other gear. I bet it could even pack out a deboned deer without a problem."

— Adam C. (5/5)

"Great product"

— William (5/5)

Comfortable and Roomy

"My partner and I couldn't decide on what ATX pack to get so we both went w ATX16. I wanted to replace a well worn hydration pack that I take everywhere and he wanted a smaller throw in car and go pack. We are both incredibly happy, as well as impressed with this purchase. Side pockets are nice and deep my entire bear spray fits in it. Plenty of room even after 2l bladder thrown in. Threw a first aid kit plus and necessities for hiking and the pup and still have so much room. The waist belt seriously sells this thing, once adjusted it feels so natural even with weight that I don't even notice it. Hugs the body well so even in steep or rocky terrain it's not throwing off my balance or feeling like extra work. I loved this so much I had to get atx12 as well. Material is different seems like it's going to be loud . . its not. Very light weight but can handle a load for sure. Very well made and durable. Would definitely recommend even as n everyday bag."

— ES (5/5)

"Its a perfect pack for a carryon for travel and you stll can use it as a day pack"

— Lester K. (5/5)

❤️

"Holds everything i need for my morning or evening hunt."

— Shelly D. (5/5)

Nice Pack But Very Noisy

"This pack is very well constructed, no complaints there. The problem I do have is that the material is very loud, sounds like crinkling a paper grocery bag. My last Badlands pack I’ve had for about 20 years never made noise like that. It is supposed to be a whitetail hunting pack…. . right?"

— Chris R. (3/5)

Nice general purpose pack

"Nice general purpose pack. Just the right amount of pockets for its tended use. Not too overly complicated and well built."

— Paul C. (5/5)
