Dana Design Astralplane Overkill

Men's Astralplane Overkill

"Best large load backpack ever made. Bought it 16 years ago and it looks practically brand new. I've carried it fully extended down from Mt. Shasta base camp topping 85 lbs and I've hiked the Smokies with as little as 50 and it consistently "fits like a hug." I will wear out long before this pack ever does."

"Most rugged, reliable and best fitting pack I have ever used. I carried 70 pounds all day with no problems. Weight is evenly distributed over back and hips. No other pack in the world like it. And I have used many other packs.

I had a bad experience with a rented backpack in Glacier National Park and did some research. After reading the reviews I decided on a Dana Designs Astralplane Overkill. I called the factory in Billings, Montana, and even talked to the owner."

"A magnificent piece of gear for hauling multi-day to expedition-sized loads without drama. Buy this pack, then stride down the trail past the lightweight fanatics who snicker at your enormous load, confident in the knowledge that you're carrying 50 pounds probably more comfortably than they carry 30."
