DAKINE Pro II 26L Backpack - 1600cu in
Not great for carrying a snowboard

I really wanted to like this pack, but I can't given that it's nearly impossible to close the top strap when trying to carry a snowboard vertically. If the pack has much in the way of gear inside, the straps simply aren't long enough to reach around the snowboard. Seems strange that such an elementary application would be overlooked. When not carrying a board, the pack is very nice. Lots of dedicated pockets for tools, avy gear, camera, goggles, etc. The hydration sleeve works well and the pack is comfortable to hike and ride in. Just tough to overlook the strap issue....
