This new concept in external frame technology is going to revolutionize the category.  The Ox features an extruded T-6 Aircraft grade frame which weighs in at One Pound Nine Ounces (yes you read correctly).  The average external frame tilts the scales at just under 11 lbs.  Empty...

The Ox makes its debut with pack forward technology.  This design essentially pushes the light frame backwards and the heavier pack forward creating an almost perfect center of gravity.  The Arc in the frame distributes weight along the natural contours of the body while controlling even the most insane loads.

The pack can be drawn back to expose the frame and load in quarters or removed completely.  The Ox also features an exceptionally innovative gun and bow scabbard which allows the user to access his weapon in one quick motion.

 

This fanny pack rewrites the book on performance, from its ultra breathable suspension to its new Mon Strap shoulder system the Mag Fanny has it all.

Other features include 5 pockets, hydration capability, bed roll straps and the Mac Daddy of them all the new Badlands Zip/No system.  This incredible new closure system eliminates the need for zippers or Velcro of any kind.  All the pockets now open with one quick and easy motion and close with a watertight dust resistant seal, now getting to your gear is as easy as it gets.

 

Spend 8 hours in a tree stand and you quickly begin to understand "Space Limitations"  This Badlands fanny pack is part of the new White Tail Series and takes carrying and accessing your gear very seriously.  An ergonomically molded foam suspension gets you there in comfort and once you are up in your stand, pull a zipper and WHAM, you expose an 100 cubic inch basket, which will give and receive any gear you may have.
 

Taking the needs of both White Tail and Muley hunters and fusing them into one incredible combination.  At last count the hybrid had over 20 pockets and those are just the ones we found, in and of its self this is cool, but not remarkable, however what is, is the way all these pockets were integrated into one of the most streamlined designs in the industry.  Three of the Hybrids' pockets feature the Badlands Zip/No Closure system, allowing you the fastest access possible to your gear.

A pack is like anything else you wear on your body.  It must fit correctly in order to be comfortable.

Step One:  Load your pack with 10-15 lbs.. This will allow the pack to sit firmly on your body and will provide you the most accurate representation of how it will carry in the field.

Step Two:  Throw the pack on and pull the shoulder strap adjustment straps downward at about a 30 degree angle-backwards.  This will cause the hip belt to rise on your body.  Once the center of the belt is level with your hipbones (or as they call it in the medical community, "your iliac crest") stop pulling and buckle up the hip belt.

Step Three:  Reach behind your head at about the height of your ears and pull the load lifter straps snugly towards you.  Note: this is a key step in the performance of your pack, as it engages the frame and causes the load to be transferred to your hips.  These straps are also responsible for stabilizing the pack, as well as pulling it into your natural center of gravity.  When you do this you should feel the top of the shoulder straps lifting off of your body, and there will be a small gap between the straps and your shoulders.  Fear not, as this is how it was designed.  If you can avoid it, never carry too much weight on your shoulders as this is a common cause of spinal injuries.  However, if you are scrambling through some rough terrain then you can loosen the load lifters and place some of the weight back on your shoulders, this will increase the contact area between your pack and your body for a bit more stability.

Step Four:  Now buckle up the sternum strap across your chest and pull it snug.  You will notice it stretches, we have placed an elastic behind it, which will allow you more freedom of movement and easier breathing.  We found over the years that breathing was quite valuable when hauling a 60 pound quarter through the woods.

Step Five:  You are almost home, so hang on.  Place your thumbs on the shoulder strap adjustments at the bottom of the shoulder straps and slightly loosen them.  Once again snug up the sternum strap to take care of any excess slack.

Step Six:  Call your wife in the room and let her see first hand how "fly" your are in your new Badlands pack.  If this does not rekindle those lost sparks see a marriage counselor.

ENJOY!
