Yes indeed a genuine Dana Design Astralplane. Go big or go home! This pack isn't for the faint of heart. Is this a new pack? No. It has a few bumps and bruises. Stains. No rips or tears that I could find. There are a couple of abrasion spots near the bottom, but nothing you wouldn't expect from an alpine warrior like this. I would be offended if it didn't have any marks on it at all. Sacrilegious.Just by your consideration, you're probably aware of what this pack is: the humungo daddy'o of all packs. Size Medium torso and hip belt - size Large shoulder straps. Built on the bomber Arcflex frame.
