Features
The boot has adjustable straps to suit the length of the rifle or bow and hold the position correctly. It keeps dirt, mud, and sand out of the bottom of the gun or bow. One tester puts a face cloth in and around the boot to keep the weapon out of the water.
The adjustable straps allow them to be positioned around the scope of a rifle or around the sight, quiver, stabilizer, or whisker biscuit depending on how a bow is set up. When it is in place, it is cinched down quite firmly to eliminate all movement of the weapon when hiking to the hunting spot.
The hydration exit point is marked with an H₂O symbol, so the user knows where to feed the tube. The hydration pack is housed along the back wall of the main compartment. The hydration pack is a separate purchase.

Materials
Hunting takes place in the forest. The environment is rough. It is not a place for fragile materials or people. Sharp twigs and stones carpet the rough terrain. There are thorns, thickets, and branches that can slap the hunter in the face.
The quality of the Badlands Superday Pack has not been compromised. The pack is made from Badlands own KXO 32 camouflage. The story goes that the name came from the number of times it took for Badlands to get it right. It is resilient and blends well with the surroundings.
Badlands stands behind their material and state it is among the quietest and most durable fabric in the hunting world. No noise is produced when it is opened, or things are removed from the backpack.
The material features a Teflon mesh membrane that allows the fabric to stay soft and supple in the coldest of environment making it perfect for hunting in the snow. For those high-stress areas, they use Hypalon which is another high-strength, high-quality, quiet, and flexible material that gives added strength and durability for the life of the pack.
The Aramid thread is made of plastic. The thread is yellow because it is so dense it cannot be dyed. The thread appears all over the back, showing the user the kinds of reinforcement that have gone into the design.
There is also webbing that is custom woven and dyed to Badlands specifications, sing one of the highest quality nylons available. The color is matched to natural tones seen while hunting. They help keep the user hidden and out of sight.

Comfort
Comfort eludes many hunting backpacks. The Badlands Superday Pack receives high scores in the comfort category. Sometimes, the bag has to be carried for the entire time it is being used. If the bag is not comfortable, the whole experience is challenging.
Someone hanging the pack over the shoulders will hardly feel the weight of the bag. The Badlands Superday Pack is an amazingly durable and ultra-comfortable day pack. The back padding is highly breathable which increases comfort.
The entire back is padded which is very comfortable, especially when carrying weight. The weight is distributed across the back instead of only on the shoulders. Weight distributes down to the hips which adds to the comfort.
The pack generally feels cool across the back in most situations. The back may get sweaty when running with the pack attached. The heavy buckle of the waistband is the perfect size for use while wearing gloves.
The clip for the waist is big. It is easy to get off and on, especially in low light. The two side straps are used to adjust the height. Pulling down on them lifts the pack. When it sits on the waist, it is most comfortable when taking a long walk in the woods.

Use

Style
A lot of thought and work went into the design of the bag. Badlands is so thorough with making the bag there is a little sleeve that slides over the plastic clips to protect them. The stitching is solid and will not break.

Support
The back of the pack is a molded foam suspension. It is ergonomically designed to take the shape of the user’s back. The pack matches the contour of the person. As soon as the foam meets the back, it reshapes, so the back has a soft resting place.
The back rests on the pack, not the pack resting on the back. The suspension keeps the weight raised to maintain an upright posture. It eases the burden of the load. The straps across the chest are adjustable. There is a strap to control how tight the pistol sits between the outside and inside the hip. The waistband is padded.
