I agree with your post. However the 2200 fits everything I need in it the comparable eblerstock is awesome. But I've been able to pack double in my badlandlands what my buddies been able to load in his eblerstock just because of the huge main compartment. I'm talking loading meat on and rifle or bow. You can stuff alot in and on that pack like you can with other packs. My opinion 2200 badlands just from what I've seen and experienced
