    My only experience is with the women's 1215 pack. It's a great pack. Well made. Great for the narrower build of women. I also have a Badlands Kali pack which is also very well made. Tho' I prefer the shoulder straps on the Tenzing just a bit better (particularly if carrying a gun on a sling)

    Badlands packs are a bit more popular out here than the Tenzings. If you can, go to a store that has them both.

    I have one, I think it is called the slingshot. Its a small pack that I use for checking cameras, shed hunting, or going fishing. It only has one shoulder strap and a waist strap. If I get another, I would get one with 2 shoulder straps. I feel the pack would ride better on your back with 2 straps. But over all the pack is built very strong and nothing has broke on it yet.

    I have a TZ2200 that I used sporadically throughout this past season. Very well made pack that stood up to plenty of my use and abuse.

    For day packs they are fine, they make a great pack. Light weight, well built and thoughtfully designed . I have a TZ1140

    For pack fame/ larger packs I think they are serviceable however I think there are better options on the market.
