"dakine guide & poacher back packs " - Review of DAKINE Guide Backpack - 3000cu in

Ive been back country skiing with these packs for the last 3 years and Im very happy with them (dakine poacher,& guide) I like the outside shovel & snow tool compartment easy to get too, and the probe/shovel handle sleeves in there I also stuff my snow saw in it too as well as my skins, survival gear .the outside ice ax sleeve & water bottle mesh pocket on the sides are perfect! the bigger down loader compartment I stuff extra jacket, gloves, goggles, food, 1st aid gear, bivy, crampons etc. the diagonel ski carry system works for me and is easy on & off . the pack is really easy to ski with on and snugs up to my back perfectly when I winch it down nice & tight . I use it for work as a back country ski patroler with even more toys in it ! bottom line its comfortable , it holds all my tools organized, out of my way, and easy to get too ! I dont want to know I have it on when Im skiing and it does that really well !! thanks again and have a good season .... D. French ...(Mammoth Nordic Back country & June mtn. ski patrol)
