The Burton Day Hiker Pack holds just enough gear for in-bounds snowboarding with a few yo-yo laps thrown into the mix. A shovel pocket keeps your avalanche gear accessible when you hike outside controlled terrain, and Burton’s vertical-carry system holds your board while you posthole to the goods. Or course, it’s key to keep up your motivation, so this pack also includes a fleece-lined sound pocket to hold your MP3 player at the ready. **DISCONTINUED**
Bottom Line: For short trips into the backcountry.
Nice pack. Lots of room. Can fit a laptop and some books if your not on the mtn. Two complaints... 1.No pocket for your hydration bladder so it has to be in the main pocket, if you dont have a sleeve, your vinyl bladder WILL get poked and popped. 2.There is no fleece lined goggle/mp3 pocket. The pocket is there, but NO FLEECE, even though the ad says there is. (Liars!) Note: I got tiger stripe camo, the inside is orange.
Def has cool looks with the old school 80's designs and colors but the materials seem pretty flimsy and weak. Basic waist straps and chest straps, thin bag material. Also, there are no side-cinching straps to tighten the board against your back when there's not much in the pack so you're boards not hanging back. The real test will be when I'm hiking out this Winter though...
I got this for my boyfriend for his birthday. I know nothing about snowboarding or what he might need, and there were so many styles and sizes I just took a guess. HE LOVES THIS BACKPACK!!! Evidently it is the perfect size, he loves that it's white, and Burton is a great brand!
