Up for sale is my lightly used Dana Designs K2 Longbed external frame backpack.

Asking $250.00 plus shipping.

This thing is definitely not SUL by any means, but is considered by many the best and most comfortable external frame backpack ever made, and I agree!

I bought this pack in 2002 for a trip to Isle Royale with my father, and I used it for 1 week.

It is in perfect condition- no rips, no tears, no stains, kept in a non-smoking home. There aren't even any minor scuff marks on the bottom of the frame... THIS PACK IS CHERRY!

1. Shoulder pads and lift straps adjust in unison for perfect adjustment.

2. Carbon fiber crosslinks cushion the frame on your back, absorbing frame sway.

3. Grippy mesh clings to your back.

4. Magic wands transfer the load to your hips while allowing natural motion.

5. Tapered frame bottom keeps the LoadMaster's harness mounted tight---no-slip and squeak.

The pack is a size regular with a regular hip belt. Originally sold for $399.00 in 2004, the last year of production.

Pack is excellent condition with NO wear on it whatsoever.

The color is a green - DD calls it SRUCE.

If you are looking for a pack like this, you WILL NOT be disappointed with this one!
