I need a new backpack this season for my hv40 and the Dakine bags look good and are reasonably priced.

Im trying to decide between the Dakine Mission and the Dakine Sequence.

Anyone have any opinions/advice/experience with these bags?

Got the same camera, shits amazing, but those two look pretty good, definitely get one with some padding, cuz last year i used a Salomon Magic Suit backpack (CLAIM) and it had no padding, which gave me some concern. if there is room in the padded pocket to fit your camera case i would do so. Rattling an HD camera like that would be no good.

I have one from last season.  Took a few good tumbles in it and everything was okay.

I have both a mission and a sequence, get the sequence.  Way better for BC missions (can fit shovel and probe no prob) and will hold a larger amount of gear.  Not to big tho, like the reload!

The only time I use the mission is small day trips in bounds.

I have the Mission, and I can fit 2 non-gripped bodies, 70-200, flash, fisheye, and 1 more smallish lens in the main padded compartment. Not a lot of room left for BC gear though.

The reverse entry (zipper touching your back) is really good. Dakine definitely got that one right.
