DaKine Drafter Pack

Excellent Pack
The design of this pack is excellent. It has a lot of small inside compartments that makes things very accessible. The bladder has some advantages compare to Camelback's - you can take it out without the drinking tube (that detached), the filling is from the top and its very wide and very easy to open and it comes with a valve built in (an extra in CamelBack). The pack is very comfortable to carry and has good back system. All in all, this pack is a major improvement from the CamelBack Mule and its cheaper.

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.

good pack
definetely a good pack, it holds waters, tire, pump, some snacks, and some extra clothes with some room to spare. good for DH biking, and hiking, and i use it when i go on enduro day trips. thumbs up for a nice hydration, tools, and some clothes pack.
