"For someone unknown reason (and it's their loss) Jansport stopped making the D3. I used mine till I wore it out. Does anyone know where you can get a good used one? Most useful backpack there was."

"Although I don't always need the large amount of space for a weekend trip, the D3 is still my favorite pack. I have a couple internal frame packs of various sizes and use them quite a bit, but the versatlity and sheer dependability of my D3 still calls me back, even for some short trips."

"In the late '70s and early '80s the JanSport D3 was the ultimate backpack, I still think it is. I still have my original red one that I paid $200 for in 1980. Glad to see there are others that can still appreciate the D3 today as much as I do."

"I purchased the JanSport D3 and Trail Wedge tent in 1982 for hitchhiking across Canada. Both performed beautifully. I've used the pack on every camping trip since, as well as on intercity flights (very handy). The pack is still in immaculate condition, with the tent wearing well. 22 years and still going strong, there's nothing more to say."

"Used a JanSport D3 on my 1977 thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. Pack worked great. The small nylon bushings would wear out about every 1,000 miles that are under the U-bars along hip belt. Some hikers called the U-bars " Beater Bars" as they didn't fit everyones hips."

"i think from the other reviews that my pack is a D3. I got it about 10 years ago used from a guy in college for $50. I love the pack. the metal hip wings can't be beat. the canvas was showing bad signs of wear two years ago so i bought a new Jansport pack, not sure of model but it was similar design with the vector hip belt."

"I have used this pack for several extended trips, all sorts of weekend and overnighters, and my brother has taken the thing on the AT. We both agree that it's a classic.

I've tried a number of external frame packs and think that this is probably the best of the lot."
