Dana Gleason
Overview
Dana has been a leading designer in the backpacking industry for more than 30 years, beginning as a repair tech in gear shops - often improving the packs in the process! He went on to create Dana Design, a company whose packs still are recognized for their ruggedness and breakthroughs in load carrying technology. K2 Corporation bought Dana Design in 1995 and Dana formed Mystery Ranch in 2000 to further hone his design skills and to satiate his need to tinker with packs.
