thinking of getting a new pack. looking at badlands and timberhawk. any suggestions?

i will be getting a timberhawk. spike or rutbuster

Timberhawk is every bit the quality of the Badlands reputation. But Timberhawks price is much better than Badlands. I would go with the Timberhawk.

you should P.M. markj for a pack

Both make good packs.

Timber Hawk is built well with many compartments in each part of the pack.

They all (The Backpacks) come with a hydration bladderstandard.

Very heavy shoulder straps/harness and waist strap, but very comfortable with air pockets on the back side of the pack.Balanced well.

Oversize zippers and zipper pulls that are much easier to hold onto with hands and with gloves on, and much easier to pull.

All stress points are at least double stitched with heavy stitching. You just really need to see one to appreciate it.

Only complaint we every get. Are they water proof? No. They repel well but not proof.Neither TH or BL packsare totallywater proof.

Thanks for the interest.

Thanks for the info, I think I will tryout the Timber Hawk.

We tested both last year before bringing on a new line. We went with Timberhawk and haven't looked back if that helps you.

Timber Hawk , i justi got the KILL-SHOT and i love it, the price is great and the craftmenship is awsome, Timber Hawk hands down.
