Excellent review! I've been using this back in Alaska since 1994. You are right they are very durable and can be used to carry extremely heavy loads. Made in the USA! Dana Design no longer exists, it is now a company named Mystery Ranch but they will still repair any Dana Design pack if there is any problem...I have not had any problem in 25 years of heavy use.
I love my pack too. Bought in 2001. Still in great condition since I've barely used it. I can't find or didn't buy the hipbelt to go with it unfortunately. Hope I can find one on ebay so that I don't have to buy a whole new pack... 😒
I've owned three Dana Design packs. One like this, a smaller pack and a bangtail pack. Superb, comfortable, durable.
