I'd buy a used Dana Design for 25-50% of the price of a brand new pack and would find myself still using it in twenty years if I desired it so. Don't get me wrong. I'm a pack fanatic. I
LOVE to buy brand new gear, but the prices on new packs of this level are absurd.
For those interested in the new ultralight fabrics (Dyneema and newer), this is kind of a neat video with a ton of information and interesting facts. It might be deceivingly light and intuitively leading otherwise, but the stuff is tough as nails.
