4.8 out of 5 stars 4. Other than that they’re virtually identical. Mr. Baird was an avid outdoorsman (and fly fisherman) who evoked confidence.

I keep trying new internals and keep going back to my D3. The listing read, “Vintage 70’s JanSport K2 External Frame Backpack D3 Excellent Condition.” The K2 designation is indicative of the fact that, in 1972, K2 (another PNW company) acquired JanSport.

I dug deep into the bowels of the internet trying to find information on how to more accurately date the D3 series of packs but have come up with little concrete information. Both of my sons have this item, and they like them very much.

It was in remarkably good condition for a 40-something year-old pack: No rips in the bag, the waterproof coating on the inside wasn’t cracked and flaking. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that we may not be the only two guys who have certain interests that don’t always align with those of our wives. Alas, I grew up in SoCal but I did my share of backpacking in the Sierras.

Interestingly the JanSport logo on both of these detachable accessories appear to be newer than the logo on the main pack bag.

Looking forward to hearing your field review after a fishing trip.

VINTAGE JANSPORT USA D3 EXTERNAL FRAME BACKPACK PACK w/ HIP WINGS HIKE CAMP EUC. 3 S N P O 6 4 G C A U U N S H S O R E D. JANSPORT (USA) K2 Division Vintage External Frame Lightweight Hiking Backpack. As I recall from using it a long time ago it was a comfortable pack. I find it really intriguing that the old Jansport packs continue to have a following so many decades after their run of popularity. The leather attachment pads were all intact with only the large crampon pad showing any significant signs of wear. Smaller frame size: Dana Design made an external frame pack where the frame closely followed the perimeter of the pack bag, avoiding the extensions found on this Jansport. The zippers slide like new (I did wax them just for good measure) and the leather attachment patches don’t appear to have seen much (if any) use. Here, just take it all!”. I’m much happier with the pack you have. Subject over. Our best outdoor backpacks are made to take on as hard a trail as you want to conquer.

Large JanSport Backpack With External Metal Frame Made In USA Leather Patch If you're out on the trails, you can bet on your hiking backpack to be right there with you, every step of the way. It’s a good thing we were brothers or our close proximation may have been awkward. Still a good looking navy blue. http://www.outdoorinov8.com/jansportimages.html. All others I’ve seen are all in the upper left.

Smallest Size (Torso Length/Inches) 16. Not surprisingly, JanSport no longer supports these old packs so I can’t exactly call up customer service and order replacement parts for a pack that was made in the 1970’s. Looking forward to hearing your field review after a fishing trip. Required fields are marked *.

Thanks for the great comments. I’m not sure the reasoning behind the combination of varying logos on this pack, but I’ll assume this: The pack had already been assembled at the time when the company was transitioning from the use of “Jan Sport”.

Finding our groove on the Middle Fork Salmon, The UA turns 10, and the Occasional Drivel®. Features Adjustable torso length, Divider between main and sleeping bag compartments, Daypack conversion. This pack is virtually identical to my orange D3, right down to the style of the hip belt buckle, but, again with the earlier JanSport logo. Another panel loader for $300 is the Vargo.

Most, however, do not appear to be in nearly the good condition of my Haggle Sale Pack. Another bonus to this pack is that it came complete with a set of 7 cinch straps, none of which appear to have ever been used. 98. The eBay Pack is in even better shape than the Haggle Sale Pack. $52.98 $ 52.

(I’m adding to this entry as I am able to gather more information, as there may be more JanSport D3 geeks out there, like me, with a thirst for knowledge about the history of these packs). Thanks for the nice comment. On this pack the sticker is on the upper right joint. Steve and I had crossed paths more or less recently but I hadn’t seen Pete Mr. Baird in decades. I wish I had been associated with your troop back in the day! It’s proven to keep me one happy camper.

Jansport only recently brought out the D2 again. Specs.

As far as I know, this is the 2nd largest external frame backpack that Jansport has ever made, with the D2 being the largest.

It was cavernous. He has, however, long since gone the way of ultralight gear which bears little resemblance to the equipment of 40 years ago. Jansport D3 External Frame Pack This is a photo of a Jansport D3 external frame backpack.
