As others have confirmed, this is an awesome pack (at least mine which is a 1996 model before Dana got bought out). Buy from a good dealer who will take an hour or two to fit you and you'll be very happy with this pack. The interchangeable parts make it fit better than anything else I've tried. I don't think packs get much more comfortable.

The only downsides to this pack are the weight (it's average for its size but a bit heavy for my tastes) and the lack of a size zip on the main bag. The latter just adds weight and a possible failure area so I don't miss the zipper but it does make it hassle if you need something from deep in the main compartment.
