Love this pack | |

| I bought the Poacher back in 2001-2002 and its been used and abused! It's still in awesome condition considering how much abuse i've given it. It's been with me everywhere from snowboarding out west, to Africa/Greece/Morocco/Spain and backcountry riding out in the High Peaks of the ADK's in NY. It's showing signs of wear, where the internal braces affix to the inside bottom of the pack, and the top handle stiching came undone but its been that way for years now without breaking. I've also learned this pack doubles as a floatation device, while canyoning in AZ last summer. Can't say enough good things about this pack, lots of hidden pockets and useful features that aren't common even in the high-end multi-day packs. Oh yeah, VERY comfortable too! Good job Dakine! | |

Upgrade from Heli Pro backpack | |
| Rating: |  |
Just got this bag in black to replace an old Heli Pro pack that my dog partially ate. It's larger than the Heli Pro, but still low-profile if it's not fully loaded. This should be a great pack for carrying extra gear & goods while snowboarding/skiing, or for day-hiking or short camping trips (2-3 days). | |

Good Pack | |

I think this is a really solid pack. I took it on a 3 day hut trip in the High Sierra and it held everything and the snowboard vertical carry is great. The hydration pouch held my cammelback and I liked how the hose came through the shoulder strap. It's a little big for just boarding with when all I had in was my shovel, probe and jacket so if you're not using it for a multi-day trip I would suggust getting something a little smaller. But overall I'm extremely happy with my Dakine pack. | |

| Great Pack, I am a ski patroller and it holds my shovel, probe and all of the other necessary things with ease. It isn't too big or too small so i can fit my lunch and other nice goodies in it. Great Pack | |

Great All Around Pack | |
| Rating: |  |
I've been using the pack for about a month or so now and have really grown to appreciate it. I first brought it to Mexico for a five day trip. I was able to fit everything I need in here and still carry it on. Since then I have used it for back country once, and resort skiing a couple times. I hate carrying this big of a pack skiing but for carrying my camera it works great. It's comfy to wear and super adjustable, and seems solid. My major grip is this though, DAKINES NEW CABLE SKI CARRY SYSTEM BLOWS. I have the same system on my other pack and its terrible. When you put fat skis in it pulls the entire top of the pack down because the cable system is attached to the top of the pack. Why Dakine? The old loop worked way better than this. Besides this the packs cool | |
