DAKINE Pro II Backpack - 1550cu in - 2005 BCS

I have used three different packs for skiing and this is the by far best. My last backpack was the Dakine Vertex and the Pro II is a great improvement to that. The Pro II not only handles more volume but also provides more compartments. There are several more pockets, which are perfect if you have a lot of gear. For those of us that ski backcountry, there are separate pockets for your shovel blade, handle and your probe. For day trips this bag is perfect.

Outstanding pack for both cruising around local resorts or for day trips into the backcountry. Holds all essentials with no problems and the tool pockets make this pack the ultimate backcountry skier/boarders choice.

I am able to hold my shovel and my hydration system in this pack. I can also hold food and extra clothing. Great for backcountry trips with an easy-to-use ski carry system.

I bought the Da Kine Heli pro, used it for everything for 2 years, over time, its color began to fade, and I had some major falls and spills on the mountains. I decided to upgrade, and I LOVE my Pro II. A great product for all around use, school, surf, snow, rain, and just plain needing a pack.

The pack is great. I use it for snowmobiling in the deep. The shovel is out of the way and you don't even know your wearing it.

Great pack! I use it for snowmobiling in the backcountry. Excellent for day trips. I don't even know it's on my back.

I have taken this pack in the backcountry and on the chairlifts. It is super functional, practically sized and carries skis comfortably when necessary. It has great features for snowboards. Not as complicated as other packs and priced right.
