DaKine Drafter Bike Backpack w/ 100 oz. Reservoir

Great pack.
Love the pack. It is well built with a smooth zipper action and seems very sturdy. Besides bike riding works as a great day pack. However, when the bladder is entirely full the pack is difficult to get into. I really like this pack but it is my first bladder pack.

awesome for all types of riders
This pack is great for riders of all types. For the strict downhill riders it is great simply for storing equipment and tools. For the all-mountain riders, it's awesome that you can store your full-face helmet on the uphill climb and then your XC helmet on the downhill and you hardly notice the extra weight. Great pack, highly recommend it.

One of the best
This bike pack has quickly become one of my favorite peices of gear. Dakine is simply the way to go. Only two minor things that could be improved on, first is the hydration pocket, it could be a bit bigger, when the 100oz resevoir is full it becomes difficult to pack but not that big a deal, it fits and by the time you consume some of the water the pack isn't so stiff. Second is the waistbelt, it is made out of one inch webbing which is common for most of these packs, I wouldn't mind seeing it made of something a little wider. Like I said these are very minor issues and probably won't bother most people. All of the other features are spot on and theres a place for everything pump, tube, ipod. firstaid ect. Bottom line if I'm on my bike this pack is on my back.

pretty good pack
holds all the things i need (pump, tube, patch kits, snacks). Could be better if it had a sleeve for the mouth piece to keep it clean.
