THANK YOU !I don't have that problem with the 2220. I keep my calls and odds-and-ends in the hip pockets to get at them easily.
You would think they would redesign them to where they are accessible while wearing ! It makes no sense......I've had no problems with the badlands superday pack, i thought it was super comfortable and have had no issues with the zipper. But I've run into the same issue with the hip pockets. Those things are useless. You can't get into them with the pack on. So I try to not to keep anything in them that I need to get quickly
