"First, the good part: The Alpine is very well made, and pretty much bombproof. It has some nice touches, like the zippered compartment inside the top lid. The "headspace" feature is also very useful.

Now, the bad part: I hate this pack. I've nicknamed it the Crippler, since it's almost crippled me on a number of multi-day trips."

"Spent two weeks in the Eastern Sierra Backcountry travelling cross country through various cols around Darwin, Glacier Divide, Palisades. I have had several older Gregory packs -- Cassin, Serac -- and always loved the comfort and fit.

The Dana Alpine is a wonderfully fitting pack for a tall person."

"I have had my Alpine for five plus years and am still excited about putting it on and hitting the trail. I have spent several weeks in it and many weekends with no complaints at all.

(I had two other packs before it and both made my back/shoulders hurt after 6-7 miles/day)."

"I've had my Dana for about two years; it's wonderful. Fourteen days in the Canyonlands and 10 days in Colorado in January. The Dana was comfortable as could be. Dana fit and quality is worth the price."

"I've had my Dana for about one year. When I bought it I was looking for a comfortable pack that was versatile. The Dana Alpine proved to be both.

Most of my trips to the woods are one or two nights carrying about 30 lbs. But I like to hike several miles while there."
