| dakine guide & poacher back packs 09-03-08 |
frenchdone100168107 (1):  |
| Ive been back country skiing with these packs for the last 3 years and Im very happy with them (dakine poacher,& guide) I like the outside shovel & snow tool compartment easy to get too, and the probe/shovel handle sleeves in there I also stuff my snow saw in it too as well as my skins, survival gear .the outside ice ax sleeve & water bottle mesh pocket on the sides are perfect! the bigger down loader compartment I stuff extra jacket, gloves, goggles, food, 1st aid gear, bivy, crampons etc. the diagonel ski carry system works for me and is easy on & off . the pack is really easy to ski with on and snugs up to my back perfectly when I winch it down nice & tight . I use it for work as a back country ski patroler with even more toys in it ! bottom line its comfortable , it holds all my tools organized, out of my way, and easy to get too ! I dont want to know I have it on when Im skiing and it does that really well !! thanks again and have a good season .... D. French ...(Mammoth Nordic Back country & June mtn. ski patrol) |

| Retractable ski carry broke first day out 12-21-08 |
Bobby Kaler (1):  |
| I love everything about this pack EXCEPT the wire for the retractable ski carry (diagonal) pulled free the first time I tried to load my skis. Bummer cause I live in Alaska and shipping is expensive. I'll keep the pack, but if I was in the lower 48 I'd return it and ask for a new one to see if was simply a defect. Very comfortable ski pack and the back panel access is great. I wish I could give it a higher rating |

| Greatest ski pack I've found 10-26-09 |

| For years now I have been looking for the perfect ski pack- namely a sparate and big shovel/probe pocket, a good ski carry system with options, and something that is big enough so that I can take extra stuff if I want a rope, rescue gear, or a multi-day tour. Who doesn't love the fuzzy goggle pocket and camera pocket? I am also a huge fan of back-panel zippered access, which is key if you have your skis strapped on and want to get in your pack easily. Though the black diamond packs have this feature, it is a rinky-dink small opening-- hardly useful. Also, the shovel pocket-- this is rare-- is actually big enough to fit some of my larger, pro-style shovel blades and full-size probes. I find that many ski packs with dedicated shovel pockets only hold small, rinkydink shovel blades and probes. Why bother?
I like that the snowboard carry straps (which I finagle to use for vertical-carry of my skis) tuck away. The only thing more annoying than not having these straps available is having them flap all around. I use the diagonal carry sometimes, though it's a little awkward. I do like that you can also A-frame skis if you want to. The snowboard straps would allow you to attach snowshoes easily, as well.
The foam on the waistbelt and harness is good-quality, though my husband complains that the foam doesn't cover his hipbones, and he's a 34/35 waist. Kind of odd considering that the pack is sized towards average and larger users. My husband is 6'5", long legs, and this pack fits him fine. I will echo the complaint that this pack should be sized. Even a sm/med and med/large option would do. I am 5'4", with a long torso, and the pack just barely fits, and though it's not a textbook fit it does ride comfortably when loaded down.
Overall this pack has everything I want, and works beautifully. I am also glad that the materials and construction mean that this pack is likely to last. |
