Depends on what you are using it for i guess. I mean a badlands is great, quiet, and waterproof, and will last you a long time. But if your just walking across some field and sitting down you can get away with the run of the mill walmart backpack too. But now lets say your elk hunting on top of a mountian and packing everything in and out(if you get one) then i would say buy a Mystery Ranch-Best Pacs on the Planet, not an opinion, thats fact. lol
