Unpacking the Badlands Vario 33: Design and Construction
Premium Materials and Weather Resistance
The Badlands Vario 33 Frame Kit Backpack is constructed from proprietary KXO-50™ material, offering exceptional tear resistance and waterproof performance. Unlike standard hunting packs that fail in harsh conditions, this backpack maintains integrity through brush, rocks, and inclement weather. The silent, low-glare finish ensures you remain undetected while pursuing game.
The waterproof zippers and reinforced stitching throughout the pack demonstrate Badlands’ commitment to quality craftsmanship. For hunters seeking reliable ammunition storage solutions that complement this pack’s durability, explore our selection of weather-resistant ammunition cases designed for field conditions.
Modular Frame System: Customized Fit
The revolutionary frame system represents the Vario 33’s most significant innovation. Unlike rigid backpack frames that force your body to conform, this adjustable system adapts to your unique physiology. The carbon fiber-reinforced frame provides structural support while remaining remarkably lightweight.
The Vario Suspension System allows micro-adjustments to the shoulder harness, load lifters, and hip belt, creating a personalized fit that distributes weight efficiently. This engineering reduces fatigue during long hikes to your hunting location. For hunters who appreciate precision engineering in all their gear, consider pairing this pack with our collection of precision riflescopes for complete field readiness.
Capacity and Organization: Mastering Gear Management
Intelligent Storage Configuration
With 33 liters of intelligent storage, the Vario 33 balances capacity with practical organization. The main compartment accommodates essential gear while specialized pockets protect delicate items:
-
Hydration Compatible Design: Includes a 3-liter reservoir sleeve with magnetic tube management
-
Quick-Access Front Pocket: Ideal for frequently needed items like GPS units or rangefinders
-
Integrated Meat Shelf: Transforms the pack for game recovery with a waterproof barrier
-
Bow/Scabbard Attachment System: Secure weapon transport without compromising accessibility
The pack’s organization extends to specialized smaller compartments perfect for storing hunting essentials. For maintaining your equipment in field-ready condition, browse our selection of gun cleaning kits that fit perfectly in the Vario 33’s organized pockets.
Expansion Capabilities
Beyond its standard 33-liter capacity, the pack features Badlands’ Connect System allowing attachment of additional pouches and gear. This modular approach lets hunters customize their loadout based on specific trip requirements—from day hunts to multi-day backcountry expeditions.
Comfort Engineering: All-Day Wearability
Weight Distribution Technology
The Vario 33’s AirFusion harness and AirTech lumbar system create airflow channels that reduce sweat accumulation and hot spots. The hip belt features dual-density foam that molds to your shape over time, while the shoulder straps include non-slip grip zones that prevent shifting during dynamic movement.
For hunters who spend hours in stationary positions, comfort extends beyond the backpack to your shooting position. Enhance your stability with our premium shooting rests and bipods designed for field use.
Ventilation and Climate Control
Unlike traditional packs that trap heat against your back, the Vario 33’s suspended mesh back panel promotes continuous air circulation. This climate control system significantly reduces fatigue during warm-weather hunts while the adjustable torso length ensures optimal positioning for different body types and layering scenarios.
Field Performance: Hunting-Specific Features
Silent Operation and Scent Control
Every component of the Vario 33 is engineered for stealth. The zipper pulls feature quiet silencers, fabric selections minimize brush noise, and the pack includes a scent-control panel to help mask human odor. These details matter when pursuing wary game in close quarters.
Complement your scent-control strategy with our selection of hunting apparel designed with similar attention to stealth and odor reduction.
Game Recovery Capabilities
The integrated meat shelf transforms the Vario 33 from a gear carrier to a game recovery system. The waterproof barrier protects your equipment while hauling meat, and the compression system stabilizes uneven loads. The pack’s frame maintains stability even with heavy, asymmetrical weights—a critical feature when packing out game from remote locations.
For successful game recovery, proper field dressing tools are essential. Explore our collection of hunting knives and processing tools that pair perfectly with the Vario 33’s capabilities.
Durability and Warranty: Investment Protection
Unmatched Construction Quality
Badlands backs the Vario 33 with their legendary No Questions Asked Lifetime Warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship indefinitely. This confidence stems from rigorous testing that exceeds typical field conditions. The pack’s stress points are reinforced with bar-tacking, the zippers are self-repairing, and all hardware is corrosion-resistant.
This commitment to durability mirrors the quality we seek in all products at Discounts Guns and Ammo. Discover other lifetime-warranty items in our selection of premium optics that share this commitment to enduring performance.
Real-World Testing Results
Professional guides and hardcore DIY hunters have subjected the Vario 33 to extreme conditions—from Alaska’s rainforests to Arizona’s desert mountains. Consistently, the pack demonstrates resistance to abrasion, UV degradation, and moisture penetration that would compromise lesser packs.
Comparison: Vario 33 vs. Standard Hunting Packs
Weight-to-Durability Ratio
While some ultralight packs sacrifice durability for weight savings, the Vario 33 achieves both through intelligent material selection and construction. At just 5 pounds 13 ounces, it offers greater capacity and more features than many heavier competitors.
Organizational Superiority
Standard hunting packs typically employ a “big bag” approach with minimal organization. The Vario 33’s dedicated compartments for optics, navigation devices, and survival gear reduce time searching for essentials when seconds count. This organizational efficiency extends to how you manage your ammunition in the field.
Optimizing Your Vario 33: Packing Strategies
Day Hunt Configuration
For single-day excursions, prioritize quick-access items in the front organizational panel: rangefinder, wind checker, calls, and essential navigation tools. The main compartment carries hydration, layers, food, and a basic first-aid kit. The side pockets perfectly accommodate tripods or spotting scope.
Multi-Day Expedition Setup
When planning backcountry hunts, utilize the Connect System to add capacity. Pack bulkier items low and toward your back, with frequently needed gear in the lid compartment. The compression straps stabilize loads as consumables diminish throughout your trip.
For extended trips, reliable navigation and communication devices are critical. Browse our selection of hunting electronics that integrate seamlessly with the Vario 33’s organization system.
Maintenance and Care Prolonging Pack Life
Cleaning and Storage
Though built to withstand abuse, proper maintenance extends the Vario 33’s performance. Use lukewarm water and mild soap for cleaning, avoiding harsh detergents that can degrade waterproof coatings. Store the pack uncompressed in a cool, dry environment between seasons.
Warranty Service Process
Should your pack require service, Badlands’ warranty process is remarkably straightforward. Their commitment to customer satisfaction mirrors our philosophy at Discounts Guns and Ammo, where we ensure all products meet exacting standards before reaching customers.

GOOD Based on 174 reviews Posted on Billy DunnAugust 19, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice place for a quick shoot. Friendly staff.Posted on Patrick SalazarJuly 15, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was my first time at Discount. They had a magazine I haven’t been able to find at other local stores. They had a great selection all around. The staff was 10x friendlier and eager to assist me than any other shop. I haven’t tried the range yet but I will definitely be backPosted on Jonathan JonesMay 16, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff seems very friendly and knowledgeable. However, ammo selection is pretty weak and everything seems to be priced higher than everywhere else. Kind of a misleading company name.Posted on Leonard MayApril 29, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love this place won’t go anywhere else. Come here every other week to buy ammo. Everyone is super friendly and welcomingPosted on Yasir HasanApril 11, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of my favorite gun stores in the valley. I’ve made some purchases from this store and also have a range pass. I found so many great stuff here.Posted on Jesus JimenezApril 9, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In the past day, Discount Guns and Ammo has removed the information stating that one must have a 'driver's license' in order to purchase from their store.Posted on bob brownMarch 15, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love the range here! Prices are very fair for range time and rentals. The guys behind the counter were helpful and friendly. This place is awesome, I would absolutely recommend.Posted on Jonathan SMarch 12, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff is amazing and friendly and knowledgeable. The facilities need a MASSIVE renovation and/or upgrade, to the point where, when I went to the indoor range today, I almost could not see the backstop because of all the smoke / residue / etc. floating in the air. The excuse was that they had a lot of people at the range today, but, really, that air should be circulating constantly and significantly, and I honestly didn't feel safe spending more than 30 minutes on the range, if even that. TL;DR: they need to check their exhaust fans or filters or both.
