DAKINE Ridge Backpack - 1900 cu in
Don't even consider a different Dakine pack
By Kendall Card

I've used nearly every Dakine pack made, from the Heli Pro to the Poacher - the Ridge is the best resort, side-country, or single day backcountry pack I've yet seen from them. The back panel/main pocket access is very efficient with a front pocket that stores my shovel blade and some extras. The hydration sleeve is a bonus although I prefer water bottles. A soft pocket on top for food, goggles, extras, and you're set. It rides well whether nearly empty or completely full. I don’t know why this pack is still a secret among backcountry skiers/snowboarders. 5 stars for sure!
