The best long haul climbing pack on the market, period. Stuff in a couple days worth of gear, and hit the 'tains. This pack has every feature you need in a mountaineering pack; super durable, a million ways to attatch tools, ample space, comfortable stable carry, removeable components (frame, waistbelt, lid), compressible to summit pack size, simple design. Its a little heavy, but whatever man.. it will probably last like 150 years. Load it up and put it on.. it gives you a confidence in your gear that other packs lack. Absolute jackhammer construction. If your trip is gonna be a brut, load the big D. By the way, i got a chance to check out the new version.. still a great pack, but i like my old one better.

Hi BW, I was wondering if you can recall why you prefer your older model to the newer model? I'm trying to decide between the two. Thanks.
