DAKINE Guide Backpack - 3000cu in

DAKINE Guide Backpack - 3000cu in description

With 3000 cubic inches of cargo space and plenty of backcountry features, the DAKINE Guide Pack takes you on overnight and multi-day touring trips in tough mountain conditions. This DAKINE backpack carries either skis or a snowboard, and a front shovel pocket keeps your avalanche gear quickly accessible in case of an emergency. The Guide Pack also includes a quick-draw ice axe sleeve for use on ski mountaineering trips and for riding in steep, technical, no-fall terrain.

Bottom Line: Conquer the backcountry with this pack.

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

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)
