I bought my D3 in 1979. I couldn't begin to guess how many miles it has on it. It's done the many trips in the Sierra's including a 17 day hike on the John Muir trail. At least 15, 2 plus week trips in the Grand Canyon. One for 32 days, below the rim with 2 food cashe pick-ups along the way. Countless others over the past 30 years. Jansport has done Warranty work many times, the last being about 6 months ago.

Jansport is the BEST. I just went out to replace it with a Gregory Baltoro 70. I came home, packed the D3 one more time just to compare. Well...sorry Gregory, but the D3 just felt so good and surprisingly, I could be wrong but it felt lighter. I guess I'll wear my D3 till I'm too old for this stuff.
