DaKine: Backpacks

You don't have to be a skier or snowboarder to know that the most successful Dakine outdoor packs today are the Heli and Heli Pro series backpacks, but this company specializes in a complete line of board sport gear that adapts to any terrain throughout the year. Dakine's streamlined day packs feature a narrow profile that fits easily between you and the lift seat without the tight fit found with bulkier resort daypacks. Most packs have a Camelbak compatible hydration pouch and some designs like the Dakine Poacher feature insulated sleeves to protect beverages from frigid weather conditions. Other street-smart components include zippered sleeves for mini or compact music players, plus headphone and tube ports for seamless integration with your other active outerwear clothing.
