Reviews

Outstanding Pack

"Perfect pack. Upgraded from my smaller day pack to the Vario Pro Frame and OS 33, which is much more versatile than the larger framed pack I had. Have used it one sticking and rifle hunting so far. Can’t wait to use it to pack out my next Whitetail!"

— Mike H. (5/5)

As someone who has significant

"As someone who has significant back problems , I needed a pack that fit my needs. After buying and returning several packs, big name brands and much more expensive than this system, I finally found what works for me. The Vario pro frame is amazing. It’s very light, quiet, and ridged in the right places. For the price, I don’t believe you can find a better system. Only gripe I have is if you switch packs, the buckles from the packs don’t align perfectly with the frame, you have to move the buckles on the connection points on the frame, so order a second set of snaps. But other than that, everything works amazing and has a lifetime warranty, if you’re on the fence just pull the trigger and get it, you won’t be disappointed."

"I wish the meat shelf was still available for it. Love the versatility of having options for different hunts"

— Josh E. (5/5)

Excited to try

"The pack feels great and is built well as with all badlands equipment. Im excited to try it."

— Casey Y. (5/5)

Extremely light, comfortable, yet handles

"Extremely light, comfortable, yet handles the big loads without issues. The straps are easy to adjust. My go to frame for all my hunting adventures."

— Garth O. (5/5)

Wings are extra if you really want to be able to cinch down and pack and load.

"Frame fits great on a larger body. I’m 6,2” and it fit very comfortable. Especially under load packing out. They don’t tell you about needing the wings to carry a gun or bow with the actual sling provided with the packs. But overall comfortable and quality is good."

— Andrew L. (4/5)

Ready to use

"Have not had the pleasure to use yet. However I had the original vario and as long as the squeaking problem is fixed im sure it will be a great addition."

— Dylan (5/5)
