I can't comment on the large packs. But I can tell you this. Badlands packs are the real deal. I broke down and bought the Monster Fanny Pack last season and don't forsee buying a new pack anytime soon. They are built like tanks. They pay close attention to detail as they packs are rock solid, comfortable and can really carry a load if needed. All that with a lifetime warrenty.

Get a Badlands, you won't be disapointed.
