Ok I have a Diablo that is nice but I find it rubs me because I am to tall. I have a XLong torso and am in need of a pack that is built for a taller hunter? What is your reccomendation? _________________ Sims DZ 36

I found the Badlands 2200 and 4500 were plenty long enough that the waist belt wasn't up around my ribs. I know I have a long torso.
If You have a waist<34" get a med waist belt and a large frame.
Sorry no experience with other brands....or models _________________ "There’s a land where the mountains are nameless, And the rivers all run god knows where;There are lives that are erring and aimless,And deaths that hang by a hair….

Thanks rocky, I will look at those packs. I was wondering if badlands makes sizes or if it is one size for all? I got measured for a pack at REI recently and was told a XL pack. _________________ Sims DZ 36

Many of the eberlestocks have adjustable suspension. I would really like to switch from badlands for that reason. The pack also looks like it would fit my needs better.

The adjustable suspension sold me. I have the DRagonfly J107. I'm 6'3" with probably a normal size torso for that height. I can adjust it another 2inches longer than I have it now. Have been carrying a 50lb bag of corn in it doing some hiking round the farm. Been pretty good so far!
