DAKINE Pilot Pack - 1000cu in - 2007 BCS

I have had this pack for 2 1/2 years now and I absolutely love it the insulated hose is way nice, a exelent day hiking pack, I worked at a scout camp last summer used it everyday no joke only prob was I broke a gear loop on the out side but it was really my fault I hung a 32 oz Nalgine of the back with a caribiner full of water. Great for mt. Biking to fits snug and I'm a small person to I don't have any bad to say about it.

This is another great Dakine pack. This is the 3rd different bag that i have and i love it. I use it all the time, whether it be taking gear to the mountain or holding my Camelbak while i ski. The only problem is that if you have the 90 degree Camelbak attachment it's kind of hard to fit into the water hose pouch on the shoulder strap. Over all an awesome bag. Also its really tight fitting and isn't bulky at all.

Only skied with it for 2 days at this point, but it is perfect for exactly what I wanted. I use it mainly for in-bounds skiing with the occasional out-of-bounds run from the resort. I'm not sure if it would work for a full day of complete backcountry hiking, but as for a small bag that gives you just enough space without a big burden, it is fantastic!

Perfect for resort accessed side/backcountry missions. No straps to hang up on the chair, ski carry straps disappear and will carry my 100cm waisted skis fine, room for your hydration bladder with an insulated hydration sleeve on the shoulder strap, plus room for your avy tools, an extra clothing layer and lunch. Very clean and functional design. Cheers.

This Da Kine Pilot is a really well designed pack. There's a adjustable wire loop that you can dial in to fit any ski width. Comfortable carrying skis (diagonally across the back). This is just about the perfect size pack for day time hiking & skinning in the backcountry. Room for a spare jacket, gloves, platypus hydration bag, shovel, probe, skins and a couple Probars.

for a full day out of bounds. Ski carry (2 adjustable loops) works well and is very comfortable because waist band is wide and well paddeded. Pocket for shovel and slot for probe work well. Has a compartment for my camelback bladder and room for a couble extra layers and some food. This would work fine as a day pack for sumer hiking as well.
