Sick Bag!!!

I have owned a couple of these over the years and Dakine has done nice job of upgrading it year over year. I agree with other reviews that the ski carry can be a little sloppy, but its not a problem for me. I love the little features like the goggle pocket, the expandable water bottle holder (strange how a bottle of booze fits perfect in there) the waterproof camera pocket, I could go on and on. I like the different patterns, but went with black to keep it clean. with all the straps and padding you can really load it down and its still comfy for hours. Mine gets lots of use outside of the skiing world as well as an overnight bag for short trips. Mine is well used, and highly recommended.
