So here i was skiing skiing way off in the trees by the salsa shack at Sugarloaf/USA in Maine, when PRESTO my backpack waist belt snags a tree limb and the buckle breaks and is nowhere to be found. I was pretty pisted seening as though i love my dakine heli pro backpack and all seemed lost untill......i email dakine telling them my situation and they just shipped me out a new buckle free of charge. now its companies and situations like this that make the ski industry great!

dakine is one of my favorite companies just because like he said, they will do anything to keep you in their product. especially since its a big company why should they care if one person breaks a strap. most companies wouldn't care at all

Never owned a pack of theirs, but the Dakine gloves and mitts Ihave had fell apart rather quickly. Sounds like they are pretty nice with customer service.

Hahah, my Dakine pack got caught on the chairlift once. Theres nothing worse then when when you try to stand up, and you realize the chair doesn't want to let go. I went like 10 feet hanging from it then dropped.

sooo many viper spring gloves were returned at the shop i work at. don't know why cuz everything else was top quality. i think it was just the retards wearing paper thin gloves in 30 degree temps with no pow at all, all ice. plus i bet they just fall alot
