"rant rant rant" - Review of DAKINE Reload Pack - 2900cu in

Rating for this product: 2 By The Reege (114) on September 24, 2007
It may have more space, but it's not as useful or user friendly as the Sequence. One of the dumbest things is that the straps do not have a shoulder adjustment (and this pack is meant to carry MORE than the sequence, and the sequence has shoulder adjustment) and they are attached to the back panel, not the main bag, so if your zipper were to fail (like every sequence zipper on any pack that actually gets used), the entire pack could just fall away from your back and yard sale all of your expensive gear all over the snow/dirt/pavement. This pack is not as good for skiers or boarders as they still don't have a good shovel/probe carry system or enough space for extra layers and food for any backcountry use. And let's be honest, if you are a ski photographer, you are going to be spending a lot of time in the backcountry looking for those untracked lines. The internal dividers kind of suck, too, as they seem to be sized wrong (with nothing in the pack, the middle two dividers, the ones that the lens attached to your camera body would be holding in, are right next to each other, so when you put a camera in there with it's lens, those dividers are just going to bow outward). Dakine should go talk to those Wheels & Wax kids and get their ish figured out.
