User Review: Dana Design Terraplane (1996)

Rating:
Design: internal frame
Size: 5800 cu. in.
Number of Pockets: 2
Max. Load Carried: about 55 lbs.
Height of Owner: 6'0"
Price Paid: $335 on sale (US)

This pack was one of only two I tried on locally which felt like it fit. I carried the same load on this pack that I carried three weeks ago in an MEI and it felt 10 pounds lighter in the Dana. This model uses the main pack's hipbelt for the convertible top/fanny and it worked well. It uses the load lifter on the fanny pack, which helps.

Features I like include the internal straps to make the sleeping bag compartment disappear, space for tilting your head back, extra material on top for crampons, and simple, effective adjustments.
