DAKINE Apex Hydration Pack - 1600cu in
Versatile Hydration Pack

This is my first Dakine pack and they did not disappoint. I like it way more than my Camelbak. Plenty of little pockets to sort all of your stuff. This thing works great for DH and XC rides, as well as day hikes and skiing (just be aware your hose will freeze). I managed to strap my skis to it A-frame style. Good ventilation and a superior designed bite valve. Its open/close design is way better than Camelbak's. The only thing I noticed is that if the bite valve is left in the open position, it sometimes leaks water, hence the four stars. I just lock it closed and don't worry about it. Definitely a solid pack. A no brainer if its on Chainlove.
