User Review: Dana Design Terraplane ( 10th Anniversary)

Reviewed July 29, 1997 by Dennis Roscetti

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Design: Internal frame expedition pack
Size: just over 6000 cu. in.
Number of Pockets: 3 (top and 2 on back)
Max. Load Carried: 70 - 75 lb
Height of Owner: 6' 1"
Price Paid: $459

The carry is stable on difficult terrain and supportive under very heavy loads. The packbag is easy to organize and live out of (I especially appreciate the side-entry zips on the 10th Anniversary model). The modular design of the suspension means you can get an exact fit no matter what your body's configuration.

What else is there? Oh yes, the sticker price will make your knees buckle. Definitely not for everyone. But if your trips require large and heavy loads of gear, get a Terraplane, or one of the ArcFlex packs anyway. Or you'll regret it. Maybe not today, but soon (like your next hard trip) and for the rest of your (other pack's) life. Still the best.
