When I was first looking for an internal to replace my Jansport external that always left me bruised I did not think I would be able to afford a Dana so I did not really even look at them to start out.

I almost bought and Osprey but then I found the Dana on sale for $350 which was the same price as the Osprey.

After talking to several people they all suggested the Dana. So far I've used it on less than 10 hikes but it has been great. I had some mild discomfort on the first hike as the hipbelt broke in. This September I did an overnight in Zion on the West Rim Trail. I had mild shoulder pain but I think that is mostly related to me still learning how to adjust the pack.

I would recommend one to anyone but unless I could find one on sale I could not pay that much.
