While working in the Huts for the AMC I heard a lot of thru hike horror stories concerning their packs. Everyone that had a Dana loved it, so I went to IME and tried on every pack they had. In the end the Terraplane fit the best. Eight years later, I still get excited everytime I load up this pack. It carries megaheavy loads with grace, day after day. I've backpacked/climbed in the Whites, Greens, Daks, Rockies, Tetons, Cascades, Sierras, Alps, and Himalaya and have never had a strap, buckle or seam fail. This is an outstanding pack, but only if it fits! Try one several packs from different manufactures before you buy.
