I've been using this pack since 1996 when Dana Design released it as their tenth anniversary edition. I tried out the Gregory Denali Pro at the same time, but I just thought this pack felt more comfortable. Since that time I've used this pack the way that it was meant to be used. It has been to the top of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker, along with logging numerous trail miles all over the East Coast of the US. During training hikes I have had 75 pounds in this pack, and while I won't go so far as to say that I couldn't feel it, the pack itself was fine.

I guess the best compliment that I can give this pack is to say that in preparation for a Denali climb in the upcoming few years, I decided to buy a used 1996 Dana Design Astralplane (that wasn't much cheaper than its original MSRP) rather than going with any of the packs currently on the market.
