alright welcome back to another gear review today we're gonna talk about the
sacrifice LS from badlands so the sacrifice LS is a pack that's been on
the market just for a little over a year approaching two years now let's kind of
talk about a few of the features it is made with ultra-light rip stop material
it does have their hyperventilate liao's air to get between the bag itself and
your back so you do get some nice air flow on there other features does have
built in pistol holders it is hydration bladder compatible it's got a sleeve in
there for a three liter bladder weight on this thing is just under 4 pounds
retail is about 260 9.99 you can get it directly from badlands itself or like
always check out the show notes and description below where we'll put some
links over to a couple of other places where you could pick this pack up so it
does have about 3400 cubic inches total capacity that is the main compartment
with all of the pockets so let's kind of break into a few more of these so it has
a free-floating lid the main compartment itself is a top load compartment and you
do have two different cinch down cords so that you can really really suck that
down it does have a couple of pockets the side that you could use as maybe
optics there is the water bottle or hydration bottle pockets on both sides I
didn't use the pockets for that I actually used the side pockets for my
trekking poles on one side with the compression straps and my tripod on the
other in the lid itself there are two pockets you have one internal and one
right off the very top so the nice thing about the one on the very top if there
are items that you want to get to quickly it's a great place to put those
it does also have a built in bow or rifle boot so you could put you know the
the stock of your rifle or the bottom of your bow in here use these couple of
compression straps to secure that bow down it does also have a couple of
straps on the bottom so ok so pros extremely lightweight the internal frame
is nice and rigid it does kind of flex a little bit with your body the built in
pistol holsters these these pistol holders are on both sides so it doesn't
matter if you're right-handed or left-handed also does have built belt
pockets so for your you know your calls your diaphragm is your wind checkers
great place to store those items that you really really need to get to it does
have a little bit of MOLLE webbing on the outside of the packs that you can
attach a few other items to it they're not
I didn't attach anything to them so I don't really know how how strong they
are I only use these for air I use this pack for a few days this fall the other
pro that I found is it's very comfortable to wear so I took a few
scouting trips during the summer to set trail cameras and swap out cards and I
wore this and then I wore it the times actually during the season
extremely comfortable to wear that hyper vet frame was really really nice I
noticed that you know that airflow across the back really didn't get that
heat buildup that you notice with some other packs so hydration bladder is
always a nice feature to have to wear you can run that hose right over I'm six
to 220 pounds this pack fit me very comfortably there still is plenty of
adjustment on it you do have you know load lifter straps on the top now
talking about load that is one con with this pack is it doesn't have an actual
meat shelf but you do have compression straps on the outside that you could use
to secure some meat to the outside of the pack when I was using this during
the hunting season I actually carried some pack out bags with me and we'll do
a review video on down the road of the pack out bag so you know what those are
so I would say that's one con on this is it doesn't have that meat shelf to carry
that load I didn't carry you know real heavy heavy loads with this so I don't
know how comfortable it's gonna be but for a day pack this is an exceptional
option you know because of the lightweight the pockets the
functionality of it and I like I said that really that hyper hyper vet frame
is is really really nice it is in the badlands camel the pack itself I didn't
notice it too noisy through the brushes or through the trees and brush but the
material is a little noisy so but really all in all I would give the sacrifice LS
a passing grade for a day pack I could definitely see where this would be a
great pack for somebody that wants to go lightweight but still
have enough room to carry the essentials that they need throughout that day and
carry a little bit extra and just in case they got into some bad weather so
alright so there's our review of the bat land sacrifice LS definitely a good pack
to check out and add it to your list of possible packs for this upcoming season
thanks for tuning in hope you've enjoyed another gear review as always keep
calling keep practicing but most importantly have fun and we'll see you
