I've been researching day packs for a few weeks now. Plan on using one on a trip to Montana this fall. I don't need anything crazy on this particular trip, but I would like something that I'll also be able to take on one night/two day backpacking trips.
I've been looking at the Tenzing 2220. It seems to have a lot of good features, but I can't find any current reviews on it since they were bought out by Plano. I tried calling their customer service today and that was useless.
Badlands seems to have a pretty good reputation. I know some guys don't like them, but they have some good options such as the Super Day, 2200, and the Sacrifice.
Or am I better off buying something cheaper that will still get the job done such as a Cabelas Elite Scout?
I'm trying to stay under $200. I know some of those Badlands packs are more than that. I shouldn't need more than 1,800-2,500 cu in. If I need something bigger, my dad has a J34 I can borrow.
