DAKINE Men's High Roller Board Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bag is everything I will ever need, for ANY snowboard trip. CRAZY amounts of room. I took my powder and regular board, pair of boots, four jackets, layers, socks, clothes for the bar, and a pair of around town boots. It fit everything and help up fairly well!

Only thing I would recommend for future production, is turn the plastic casing that supports the soft shell case towards the bottom wheels into aluminum. Then, this bag would last FOREVER! Without this, it will only last a lifetime!

About Dakine
Dakine, currently based in Hood River, Oregon, was founded in Maui, Hawaii, in 1975 by longtime surfer Rob Kaplan. Dakine's first product, a revolutionary new type of surf leash, quickly gained worldwide popularity, which led Kaplan to produce more surfing-related products built to withstand the punishing conditions of the surf on the north shore of Hawaii. In Hawaiian slang, "da kine" means the best, and the company has lived up to this standard through attention to detail, a focus on accessories, and a notoriously thorough design process.
With its reputation for top-quality products and process, Dakine quickly grew beyond its surfing roots and has become the standard in board sports accessories for top athletes in the worlds of snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, mountain biking, windsurfing, and kiteboarding, as well as surfing. Dakine moved to Hood River in 1986 to better serve the growing worldwide demand for Dakine products. The facility, which included a new factory and distribution center, soon replaced operations on Maui's north shore. The Oregon location is at the heart of the Columbia Gorge and the base of Mt. Hood, and is a hot spot with both windsurfers and snowboarders. This helps the company maintain its competitive edge by giving the product development team a demanding new environment for developing and testing products. A testament to the standards and success of Dakine's products, the company's pro team roster reads like a who's-who of action sports.

Dakine Pro 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall this is a fantastic ski pack.
This pack contains several innovative features that will make any backcountry enthusiast happy.
-Dedicated A-Frame Ski straps (it's about time Da-Kine)
-Pull out, adjustable wire loop for cross mounting your skis(very sleek), I also use the top portion of
this mounting system to hold my helmet when hiking or walking around.
-Snowboard mount behind back pad
-Exterior ice axe holder with one handed quick draw removal (also holds my snow saw)
-Interior compartment with holders for probe, shovel blade and shovel handle.This compartment also has a
drain vent at the bottom to avoid getting your extra layers wet.
-Soft lined goggle pouch
-Two small pockets on exterior
-One small pocket on waist strap for easy access.
-Insulated shoulder strap for reservoir tube
-Rear access for large compartment
-Plenty of room for anything you might need (what's in mine?: Climbing skins, Avalung, spare polypro, GPS,
First aid, knife, maps, camera, two way radio, etc.)

The Down Side
The only problem that I really have with this pack is related to the reservoir system.First of all it does not come with a reservoir as most Dakine bags used to.Second there is not really a dedicated reservoir pouch in the main compartment so it can be a little tricky to get the reservoir exactly where you want it, although there is a loop at the top to secure it.Lastly, the insulated sleeve on the shoulder strap is not large enough to fit a bite valve with a locking L joint, a bit specific but if you use them you know what I mean.
It would also be nice if there were some webbing attachments on the exterior for attaching gear on longer trips, but those are easy enough to add yourself.

The bottom line
If you are looking for a good sized (1600 cu.in.) backcountry pack then you've found it.With its sturdy construction, innovative features, confortable fit and super-adjustability this pack was the first one I have ever purchased that I didn't have to modify in order to accommodate all of my gear.If you are just looking for a pack to take with you on resort trips then you may not need so much size.In that case I would suggest the Dakin Apex series.
