A Question about Mountain Hardwear Virtuosa Women's Backpack - 3600cu in
By ncaligirl (7) on July 16, 2008
My backpacking/camping backpack is a Dana Designs (US made) from 1993-ish. It's a packhorse, and can hold my entire household and 3 liters of wine comfortably backpacking in the Sierras. That being said, I've been wanting a slim, trim weekender-type pack. Designs have obviously improved by using lighter-weight, durable materials, streamlined design, etc. So - comfortable aside (the previous reviewer has convinced me it's good), is this a reasonable weekend pack? Seems like a great bargain.

Dana Designs was bought out by Marmot actually, not MHW. MHW packs are nice and I have seen good things about this pack, but if you want to have similar comfort to the Dana ou have Marmot makes a few women specific packs that are slick. Either one would be an improvement from your 15 year old pack. :) I have the Dana from about 98 and it is killer but compared to packs these days it is a dead weight!
