DaKine makes some of the best bags around, period -- I have the Heli Pro and love it. But this bag is not as advertised. It lacks the fleece lined pocket which is mentioned both on site and on the bag. Also, compared to the 05 model, it doesn't have jacket straps on the back; instead it has two gear loops which are all but useless (what are you going to use them for? and how, on a bag this small?). Point being that DaKine obviously dropped two features and kept the price point. That's a little sad, as this bag, despite its small size, is a choice bag for nordic and slackcountry skiers who need a hydration carrier which can also fit a minimal amount of gear. But without the jacket bungees and the fleece pocket, the bag suffers considerably.
