DaKine Blade Backpack

great backcountry bag
this backpack is perfect for all your back country needs, i am able to separate my dry and wet stuff. carry all the needed gear in case of an emergency and have everything organized so its easily accessible.

Great Backpack
I was looking for a larger backpack for skiing and biking and this pack was perfect. I already have a DaKine Heli Pro pack so I knew it would be high quality. When empty this pack is very light and can be compressed to be very small. When expanded it can fit a lot of gear. I used it for a carry on for my last trip and it worked perfectly. The fit is very comfortable when loaded down and things can be accessed very easily with several separate compartments. I look forward to using this pack on the mountain.

fits and functions great
I use this pack year round it fits me like a glove. I empty the winter stuff and refill with summer gear. the zippers and pockets hold gear for every season.

Awsome Backpack
Good Straps and Padding. Durable and Lightweight

DaKine Blade Backpack
Great backpack & just the right size! I use it for back country ski touring and dessert camping. During the last year I have used this pack climbing over 300,000 verticale feet skiing three days a week in the Wasatch and camping numerous weekends in Southern Utah. It is a good all around carrying tool. I love the pocket on the belt and in the upper flap. I wish it had a third pocked under the upper flap and two more pockets inside the rear entry. I would also like to see a second water bottle pocket to balance the load. All in all a great backpack.
