"Some good some bad" - Review of DAKINE Sequence Backpack - 1800 cu in

The new sequence has some improvements on the old one, and a couple short-comings. There is no longer a small inner mesh pocket in the top pocket, which was perfect for keeping track of small random things, such as keys. One thing they made better is the water bottle pocket which used to take a lot of wrestling with to fit a nalgene bottle into....now it's a pocket that unzips to turn into a water bottle pocket. it is sized better for a nalgene bottle and when not in use you have an extra zippered pocket. Overall the pack is still great for hauling camera gear while skiing, and it skis really well (i.e. it does not feel cumbersome or hinderng). On longer hikes it's not the most comfortable pack to hike with when it's fully loaded and your diagonally loaded skis are pulling back at your left shoulder, but for shorter hikes it's just fine.
