The Vario Day Pack was made for running and gunning, yet at just under 2,000 cubic inches, it’ll still carry all you need and then some. With its hideaway shoulder straps, you can use it with or without the frame for those times when you need more mobility. Constructed from KXO-50™ fabric that’s tougher and lighter than ever, it has a wide-mouth, zipped opening for easy access, side-access zippers to the main pocket, a hydration sleeve, and daisy chain lash points for more gear.

APPROACH FX
Approach FX (Fall Crossover) is an Approach camo pattern with a darker hardwood color scheme, making it ideal for late-season hunts on browner terrains, where the leaves—and temperatures—start dropping. Since all Approach camos are designed to adapt, it'll work well in any location.
Tech
APPROACH OG
Approach OG (Original Green) is a camo pattern with green, brown and tan hues, making it especially effective during early season hunts with rich vegetation like pine and sage. With light patches and adaptive coloration, it'll keep you hidden wherever you take it.
Tech
KXO-50™ HUNTING FABRIC
We designed KXO-50 to be tough enough for harsh conditions, then tested it on real-world hunts. It's just as durable, quiet and water resistant as you need it to be — and even lighter than you might expect. You can find this incredible material on items like the Vario Pack System and 2200 Pack.

Reviews

#1 pack

"Pack is easy to install on the frame. It gives me plenty of space to bring what I needed for scouting and even to add additional stuff such as cushion to sit on or roll for when I am out. This will more than likely be what I use the majority of the time when in the hills unless I have an extended trip planned. Highly recommended."

Jasper B. (5/5)

Great pack

"Fits the right pack great. As a overall system this out preforms my old Kuiu pack. I’ve haven’t used it hunting yet but as for scouting the day pack has plenty of space"

Isaiah M. (5/5)

Love this set

"Fits great, light, and love the adjustability with swapping options!"

Zachary B. (5/5)

"Looks great, great quality in build and materials, unfortunately the frame it goes to does not have a meat shelf so the whole system suffers from a lack of versatility."

Angel (3/5)

"Awesome product as always by badlands!"

Tyler (5/5)

"Great day pack"

Richard (5/5)

Lightweight, versatile, and surprisingly spacious

"Perfect size for early and mid season hunts, and I even use it for shorter hunts in late season. This pack is light and versatile but has plenty of room for all day hikes and hunts. I keep the 3L hydration reservoir filled up, rain gear, and backup socks and still find it big enough. I step up to the 2200 for most late season hunts so I can comfortably pack extra layers for long, cold sits. I love that it can be used separate from the vario frame and will usually detach it at the base of the tree when using a climbing stand to drop weight and unnecessary bulk. There are tons of pockets for organizing."

Lex C. (5/5)

Great!

"Definitely recommend this. It was able to fit everything I needed for the day. I have it paired with the bat wings for a little extra storage if I should need it, and made it easier to pack both my tripod and rifle on the outside of the pack as well."

Chad, the Vario Day is not designed to have a rifle or bow strapped to it without the frame.
Is this the only Vario pack with hide away shoulder straps?
David, you are correct. the Vario Day is the only pack with hideaway shoulder straps.
Will this be offered in mud?
Paul, the Vario Day will most definitely be available in Mud, but it won't be this year.
Do the stand alone straps have the bino connect points on them?
Cody, the straps on the Vario Day do not have the Bino Connect connnection points.
Is this ever going to be offered on approach fx camo?
Christian, the Vario will not be offered in Approach FX in the foreseeable future. It will be available in a solid color, and the Approach pattern.
