When getting deep into the backcountry with all the gear you need for a week long hunt or getting out of the mountains with gear plus a load of elk meat, the Badlands 4500 is the right pack for going the distance. Chosen by more guides than any other pack on the market, it started its career by taking people to the top of Denali, K2 and Everest. The pack fabric is a combination of super strong nylon with a waterproof urethane shell that will give you an advantage when Mother Nature decides its time for a wash. At the same time, it's quiet and supple as you move down the trail. It has a long heritage of being able to carry insane loads while remaining nimble and perfectly balanced. The internal frame uses dual-Polycarbonate stays in a HDPE frame sheet which flexes to match the bodies' natural movements while providing superior weight transfer. This keeps the weight closer to your center of gravity for better carrying and superior load handling. Basically that means the pack and you will be one. Combine this with all of its hunting-specific features and you will understand why the 4500 has few if any equals in any industry at any price.
