"Best large pack out there. You'll never wear this one out. Very comfortable with large heavy loads, in fact it's so comfortable, it makes the loads feel much lighter."

"I purchased a Terraplane Overkill about five or six years ago, used it for about two or three years, and then replaced it with a McHale Inex Alpineer Bayonet. I purchased a Terraplane with the hope that it would be my final expedition pack. My previous packs were either insufficient to support 50-or-more pound loads, handle the volume of gear I carried, or both."

"This is a great pack. I used to own an old external frame. However, I wanted to get an internal. Well, try finding an internal that fits a 6'8" 300lbs person. Especially when your torso is actually long. I'm not all legs. I tryed nine other manufacturers of packs, none of them fit."

"Since there are not many reviews from small framed women carrying big packs, I thought I would share my experience with my Dana Terraplane. I've used it for snow camping where the gear is extra bulky. At one time carrying over 50 lbs, which is way too much for my 115 lbs of body weight."

"I've owned a Terraplane Overkill for almost five years now. In that time we've spent somewhere in the neighborhood of eight months side by side. After all the hairy adventures we've been through together, I affectionately refer to the big, black Terraplane as my pet gorilla."

"When packed correctly this is the most stable, most comfortable pack on the market. I spent two years researching and trying on different packs until I finally found this pack. It is the perfect example of research and good craftsmanship."

"I love this pack, and I do mean LOVE. It is extremely comfortable to hike with and that is bottom line for any pack, but that is not all I love about it. Having a pack fit to my formidable body was no easy task but Dana did it with easy and much success."

"Absolutely incredible pack. It's everything it's cracked up to be... carried 50-60 lbs over 35-40 miles in Montana, it felt like less than 20 lbs. If my pack got lighter during the week, I didn't notice because I didn't notice the weight in the first place. Pack is really adjustable, a medium fit me just fine. Completely bombproof. If you can afford this pack, buy it."

Reviewed by woody@..., Apr 30, 1996

"I love this big bad black pack, even though it’s basically a top-loader. Actually that’s why I bought the Overkill model instead of the regular Terraplane. The regular pack is totally top-loading, but the Overkill model adds two heavy-duty full-length zippers that run the full length of the main compartment."
