DAKINE Guide Backpack - 3000cu in
Retractable ski carry broke first day out

I love everything about this pack EXCEPT the wire for the retractable ski carry (diagonal) pulled free the first time I tried to load my skis. Bummer cause I live in Alaska and shipping is expensive. I'll keep the pack, but if I was in the lower 48 I'd return it and ask for a new one to see if was simply a defect. Very comfortable ski pack and the back panel access is great. I wish I could give it a higher rating

Hope you sent it back. I have had a lot of success with mine so maybe you got a dud. BC will take care of you.
