Badlands Reaper Backpack

By Jim Draper

After many years of trying to get by with cheap back packs, I decided that this year when it was time for a new one I was going to spend the extra money and get myself a pack that would last. Tired of noisy zippers that always seem to fail, I chose to go with the Badlands Reaper, which is zipper free. The Reaper is a smaller pack with a storage volume of 990 cubic inches, making it perfect for the tree stand hunter. Although it is a smaller pack it can easily accommodate all your gear for an all day sit in the stand. This pack is constructed of a proprietary fabric developed by Badlands called Mutex™, which is guaranteed to stay soft and quiet in even the most extreme hunting conditions. The Reaper uses a slide buckle type closing system, which allows you to easily open and close the pack with one hand. The Reaper also comes equipped with plenty of external tie down points to allow you to strap extra hunting gear to it, such as a heavy jacket or rain gear. The Reaper also has Badlands Airtrack technology, which allows air to pass between the pack and your back during warm days or long hikes. The Reaper is also water bladder compatible so you can stay hydrated in the stand quietly. Badlands Packs have been around for many years and stand behind their products; thus their “Fix it For Free Forever Warranty”. Check out Badlands Packs full lineup at www.Badlandspacks.com
