At the top of the All-Terrain Xtreme (ATX) hunting pack hierarchy, you’ll find the head honcho. The big cheese. El Presidente. Leading the lineup with 2,500 cubic inches of storage, a lightweight, yet strong internal frame, comfort-focused, molded foam suspension and a built-in waistbelt, the ATX 25 pack is made for heavier loads and hauling your harvest home. While it's built for carrying a hefty amount, it's still a streamlined, and dare we say uncomplicated, frame pack (in the best possible way), for your next hunt. It's also compatible with Badlands hydration reservoirs, our SWAP accessory system and Bino Connect bino harnesses. Lightweight. Straightforward design. This hunting pack is all-terrain, all the time.

Product FAQs

2500 CI (40L)—significantly larger than the ATX 12 (1270 CI) or the ATX 16 (1600 CI). The ATX 25 is framed for heavier/more structured carry (e.g., extra gear, layers, optics, or packing out meat/small game), while the smaller ones are unstructured and lighter. It's ideal for full-day hunts, multi-activity days, or as a "do-it-all" day pack without jumping to full expedition frames.
No—the ATX 25 has a built-in, adjustable waistbelt (not removable) for better weight distribution on heavier loads. (The ATX 12 and 16 have removable ones for minimalist/streamlined use.)
Better than smaller daypacks thanks to the internal aluminum frame and waistbelt—reviews highlight good load transfer to hips, comfort on hikes with moderate-heavy weight (e.g., 13-mile/4000' tests or harvest scenarios). It's not a dedicated meat-hauling frame pack (like larger Badlands models), but users find it capable for day hunt pack-outs (pair with meat bags). Great for gear-heavy days but not extreme multi-day loads.
Water-resistant (C0 DWR coating sheds light rain, snow, dew effectively in hunting conditions).
Highly praised: Molded foam suspension, frame, and waistbelt provide excellent comfort even loaded. Fits various torso sizes (Badlands generally 17–22"); adjustable straps/back panel. Reviewers call it "comfort-focused" for year-round use, including scouting, hiking, or stand setups.
Unconditional lifetime warranty (Badlands' hallmark): Repair/replace/refund for any damage (use-related or not), free except shipping to them. Submit online with photos; clean first (bathtub soak with mild scent-free detergent, rinse, line dry—no machines).

Reviews

Perfect size

"I wanted a pack that would hold my pyre bibs and jacket. This ATX 25 is a perfect size. Over all it seems great. I would appreciate a small exterior zippered pocket on the front and a place to secure the tag end of the straps so the aren't just hanging there. There is really nice padding on the pack that is perferated for breathability which I really like as well."

— John T. (5/5)

I highly suggest this pack

"This is a excellent pack, I bought it last year for a elk hunt and it was all I could ever ask for"

— Grant E. (5/5)

Bag seems to be made

"Bag seems to be made really well, lots of storage space, haven’t used it yet, so time will tell, light weight, lots of straps to hook on to. Weight distribution feels good, not a heavy pack. Can’t wait to put it to the test"

— Jarrod P. (5/5)

Now that’s a pack!

"This pack is everything I was hoping for and more. Versatile, just the right size for day packs, or hauling a heavy load if needed."

— Leo C. (5/5)

"ATX 25 is the perfect day use pack. ATX 16 is on the smaller side. MRK 4 for the long hauls."

— Brandon (5/5)

Good alternative to the 2200 - Good Daypack

"Bought this for a daypack with a meat shelf. I've had the 2200 in the past but didn't care for the wings, the backpanel or the bulk. PROs: lightweight, compress down for a smaller profile, meatself, material, easy day pack -holds rain gear & cold weather layers CONs: waste strap/buckle is traditional but should have been upgraded to pull straps out&away from torso, not really a frame - two magnesium rods - if the pack is wade down the two rods press into your back which creates hot spots."

— Kyle C. (4/5)

Could be quiter, zippered pockets need work

"Used this on 1 hunting trip and am returning it. Pack fits great but of the 2 main pockets, the smaller one does not zip open wide enough to get your hand all the way down into it very easily and there is only 1 (small) additional pocket inside of this. Makes organizing and finding things (knives, food, etc) difficult and hard to get to. With the huge depth of the outside zippered pocket, it could easily fit a number of vertically aligned pouches to organize gear. The outside material is rather loud as well - why are most "quite" pack materials only on small packs?"

— Luke M. (3/5)

"Bags great, plenty of room, material isnt as quiet as i thought it would be, but its gonna be good!"

— Phillip (5/5)

Great pack

"Grest pack, using it for saddle hunting, I can easily strap my sticks, platform, and saddle too it plug all my other gear and it’s not too big to have in the stand with me, only problem is there isn’t enough pockets, other than that it’s fantastic"

— Austin H. (5/5)

"Great Backpack very comfortable to use for extended periods of time."

— Jess (5/5)
