Everyone knows an ox is a total beast when it comes to carrying huge loads.
Our Carbon Ox has that in common with its namesake, with a few key differences: it's not hairy, it's not heavy, and it smells waaaaaay better. The carbon-fiber frame is more than tough, it's curved to keep weight close to your center of gravity for carrying and balancing insane loads. Available in two sizes to fit your torso, for maximum carrying comfort.
Hypervent™ Suspension
Even in cooler weather, carrying a pack builds up a sweat. Badlands' Hypervent suspension actually pulls your pack away from your back, for a constant flow of cooling air. Where your body does come in contact with the pack, ventilated foam and a tough mesh fabric help continue the flow of air, keeping you cooler, dryer, and more comfortable.
Aramid Bartacking on Stress Points
Badlands chose this thread because a single strand of Aramid fiber can hold more than 100 pounds. Look for that yellow bartack reinforcing every stress point on our packs. Why yellow? Because it's so tough, it can't even be dyed. Hey, at least it's not pink.
External Carbon Fiber Frame
With an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, the carbon fiber frame of our Carbon Ox feels like a lightweight dream. Yet this same lightweight frame is strong enough to help you carry backbreaking loads for miles.
Adjustable Waist Belt with Reverse Tightening
With the reverse tightening feature on our waist belts, you pull the belt's ends inwards, rather than outwards. This gives you the leverage you need to properly cinch your belt for maximum carrying comfort.
Detachable Rifle/Bow Boot
Why risk damaging your rifle or bow? Use this detachable Rifle/Bow Boot and the batwing straps on the back of your Badlands pack to securely carry your rifle or bow, hands-free.
