DaKine Mission Laptop Backpack

Dakine makes top quality backpacks
I already owned the Dakine Oceana pack prior to purchasing the Mission pack, so I knew the quality of the brand prior to purchasing it. The Oceana pack is for the beach, therefore I bought the Mission pack for snowboarding. In the one week I've owned it, I've used it everyday while snowboarding and it has delivered will all of the durability I expected from Dakine. The features are the selling factor for me, as I do not want any dead space in a bag when I'm on the go with it, especially on the mountain. I want to be able to use every inch of it and this is why Dakine makes so many packs; they are catering to multiple sports and individual needs. I love the goggle pocket, which is lined so as not to scratch the lenses. I like the small zippered pocket in the front for my keys, and the iphone/cell phone pocket that is cushioned and lined - I love that it's in the same pocket everytime, without a scratch. The laptop pocket is great for cushioning valuables, not only a laptop, so I put my paperwork, printed maps, receipts etc. back there to keep them flat and separated from all of the clothes and waterbottles I had stuffed in the main compartment of the pack and it worked great. The board straps on the front are great for my board, and for a my helmet when it's not on my head at the base of the mountain. I couldn't be happier with the Mission and with the Oceana packs and I will definately buy another Dakine pack when these ones are worn out (if that ever happens?!) they seem to last forever!

awesome pack
I bought this pack in black for my husband to take on our carribean cruise in feb. I'm happy with the size and the padded back is great. Pleanty of pockets, one of the side pockets actually can fit a water bottle. I've always had good luck with Dakine products, my pack is going on 6 years and still looks brand new!

Great skateboard backpack
Gave this as a gift to my nephew. He loves the stlye, the spot for his board, and ablity to also carry his computer. Great all around!

Great Pack
Before buying the backpack, I researched like crazy and found this one was deff. a great backpack. I checked many websites and it was cheapest on here. I use the pack for my snowboarding gear. Fits all my extra gear. Also light enough I can board with it. Deff. reccommend it!

Beautiful backpack, even for a girl!
The style that seemed to fit my taste most was the Herringbone. Upon receiving it I realized it was even more beautiful than in the pictures; completely living up to my expectations. It looks great and despite my book load, feels weightless. It's extremely comfy yet appears very durable and well made (time will more than likely verify). Best deal I could find too (free shipping IS key). Has plenty of pockets to keep all your stuff neatly organized and saves so much time when you need to grab something specific out of it. Will make for a nice backpack to bring as a carry-on in future travels. No more fumbling around in one giant mess of a bag. I LOVE this backpack!
