Good bag, could use some improvements

This is a good, very large volume bag. Though I think DaKine's design / build quality has decreased in the past ~ few years. I previously owned a smaller DaKine version of a similar bag, which had a zipper all around between the upper and lower segments. This makes for a much more useful and secure closure to the bag. It escapes me why they would omit this simple feature. Overall, the fabric and construction quality has suffered in recent years. I've also compared their current "Poacher" pack with a version I used to own from 2000 and the quality is significantly less. (both of these were stolen from me, hence the newer replacements).
