Hey NS,


I need a bag as I'm going to windells this summer. Anyway nothing crazy expensive but something nice.

Nice thing will be awarded with +k from the karma gods!

My favourite pack yet, the Dakine Burnside.

Pullstring enclosure instead of zipper, laptop pocket, incredibly comfortable.

Oh look, they even have a video now.

Pollard's pack with Dakine is pretty sick. Most of Dakine's bags are for that matter. Check out some of North Face's stuff as well

Are you looking for something hiking/practical or casual?

I guess I should have asked that too. Skiing or street? If street, go with the Burnside, if skiing, go with the Heli Pro

Idk what model, but I bought a $30 Dakine backpack and it's great. So much space. I can fit like 5 balaclavas/face tubes/bandanas, 5 pairs of gloves, a hoodie, two pairs of goggles, two pairs of Skullcandy icons, a hoodie or vest, and my helmet.

dakine is definitely the way to go, but if its a backpack that you will use for school too then also check out the skullcandy ones, they are way sick

Amazon has some good deals on Dakine Bakers right now.  Just picked one up the other day for around $50 shipped.  I got mine to use as a minimalist backcountry pack for essential gear (probe, shovel, emergency blanket, water pouch, etc) and it's got a little room left over for an extra layer and facemask.  If you to carry more than that, I'd definitely get something larger.

I just have a normal Dakine pack for school and I would say that it's pockets are pretty practical.
