CONTOURED SUSPENSION

FLAT SUSPENSION

THE SHAPE OFTHINGS TO COME!CHANGING THE WORLD THROUGH ERGONOMICS

he problem with most packs today is that they have absolutely no relationship to the human body. We happen to be problem solvers, so we first asked ourselves, How is that possible? We then asked a more important

question, How do we solve it? Heres what we found: Look at any pack on the market, then look at the human back. Does one look anything like the other? No. Most packs are flat and the human back is contoured. We looked at puzzles, nuts & bolts, car doors and came up with the groundbreaking realization that if two pieces dont fit together, they dont function. Now.moving on to that second and most important question How do we solve it?

Simply put, Badlands packs are molded, sculpted and cut to mimic and match the human form perfectly. This allows our equipment to work in harmony with the bodys own natural movement and not against it. The end result is a pack that actually fits your curves so perfectly that hot spots and pressure points are all but eliminated. This in turn allows pulmonary circulation to stay strong and performance to peak for far longer. Yes, we just dropped some scientific knowledge because in the end, that is all we area bunch of wannabe mad scientists designing and building the best gear in the world.

PLEASE ALLOW US TO VENTometimes the difference between life and death can be as simple as - being able to outlast your enemy. Life threatening or not, you should choose equipment that provides you advantages, you

would not otherwise have. Any endurance athlete or mechanic for that matter, will tell you the biggest threat you face when it comes to finishing a race is- heat. It depletes your body of energy faster than any other factor. At Badlands, we understand this better than any other company on the planet (no, really). This is why we specifically design every product we make to allow high volumes of cool air to pass between you and your pack. This keeps you cool and dry in even the most extreme environments.

our equipment is supposed to provide you advantages, which you would not otherwise

have without it. In other words: if you need to move fast, strapping a square boat anchor to your back is not a good idea. Venting and fit are final frontiers in performance.

WHY DID WE DO IT?n the world of tactical features, companies have focused on two areas - durability and a lot of pockets. And why not; who doesnt want their gear to last forever, while simultaneously carrying every gadget they own?

However, as the clich would have it, these are only the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

We find it interesting that technology has advanced significantly in the last decade but, tactical packs and accessories have not. New fabrics which are twice as strong, yet weigh half as much, increased knowledge in ergonomics and biomechanics, vastly improved manufacturing techniques, none of these can be found in todays gear. This is exactly why we decided to get into this market.

Badlands has spent the last 20 years relentlessly pursuing the science behind just about everything to do with humping weight. Our products have been to some of the most hostile environments this planet has to offer, in areas and circumstances where your life literally depends on your equipments ability to perform. With every trip that doesnt kill us, we learn a bit more about making the best products in the world.

Best Materials + Best Design = Best Performance, PERIOD.

You Do The Math... ARAMID CORDURA BLENDWhen building any product, there is the right way, the wrong way and The Badlands Way. It

would be simple and much less time consuming to design gear by choosing from a vast selection of inexpensive and readily available fabrics and raw materials However, that is not how we party around here. For our tactical series we selected Schoeller who is arguably the most innovative textile manufacturer in the world. They push the envelope by using exotic threads and substrates that set new standards in durability and weight reduction. We selected their Keprotec fabric that uses a proprietary technique of fusing Kevlar and Cordura to construct a fabric that is twice as abrasion and tear resistant as 1080D Cordura while weighing less than half. It's also the most expensive, but whos counting? (sorry to all our Bean Counters) In addition to using top tier fabric technology, we took it a step further. When strength and reliability is a matter of life and death we take it a few steps further and incorporate a material called Hypalon. Taken from the industrial gasket industry, it is basically the strongest material we can sew through and you will find it reinforcing every stress point on our equipment. These are just a few of the examples of how things are done The Badlands Way.

RAP-18Don't Be a SquareThe RAP18 was designed with one goal in mind - DON'T BE A SQUARE - As in, who wants to carry that heavy, square, bland, featureless tactical pack around? It was high time someone combined form, function, load carrying and general badassery into a tactical pack. We were up for the challenge and here's the answer. With Badlands iconic Hypervent Suspension for ventilation, MOLLE webbing for accessory attachment and Hypalon reinforced stress points, the RAP18 is not your granddaddy's "standard issue" war pack. Hydration reservoir capability, rear compression straps and a hideaway rifle boot finish off what is the most durable yet lightweight tactical pack you'll ever wear.

If you're expecting the run-of-the-mill tactical pack, look elsewhere because we torched that mill a long time ago. This is the pack that will evoke envy in all others, the pack that will outlast all competitors, the pack that will make you ask, "where in the hell have you been all my life?"

THE BADLANDS UNCONDITIONAL LIFETIME WARRANTY

TO FURTHER THE DISTANCEBETWEEN US AND THEM

hen we design our gear, we know full well that it is going to some of the biggest troublemakers in the world. Operators who abuse their equipment in the most extreme environments you could imagine. The

thought of which, just makes us all warm inside.

We also know that everything we make is going to be covered by a warranty, void of any loopholes, contingencies or rules. Simply put, we will stand behind all of our gear unconditionally. No questions, no B.S.

We do not care what happened to it, where you bought it (if you actually did buy it) or what the circumstances were. We will fix it for free forever , no questions. As a matter of fact, you will more than likely receive an Atta boy for being able to destroy something we made.
