How do I find the right backpack?

That is a very good question. Because not all backpacks are the same. There are many different types of backpacks that can be suitable for different purposes. So, before you choose a backpack, you should consider a few things, such as:

• What purpose should the backpack serve?


• For which type of sport should the backpack be suitable?


• How much room do I need?


• What weight do I want to carry?


• Which design do I like?

It is important to be guided by the size and weight of the backpack. A backpack that is too heavy or too big can be uncomfortable to carry. Therefore, avoid buying a backpack that is too heavy or too big. Dakine's backpacks are all made from high-quality materials and innovative technology, which means they last longer than most other backpacks on the market.

Ski- and snowboard backpacks

You already know that you need your backpack for skiing or snowboarding? Perfect! Because in the ski and snowboard backpacks category, you'll find backpacks that are specially designed to transport your equipment comfortably and safely on the mountain. They are equipped with a range of useful features such as a fully waterproof material, adjustable straps, a ski holder, custom snow tool sleeves that keep shovel and probe at the ready, a large fleece lined goggle pocket and a helmet carrier stow away essentials for when you are out and about. Choose a backpack that is large and sturdy enough to hold all your necessary equipment without being too heavy. Make sure the backpack fits snugly on your back and that it is comfortable to wear.

Which backpack size is the right one?

When you are looking for a new backpack, it is important to choose the right size. A backpack that is too big can be hard to carry, making your outdoor adventure more of a pain than fun. A backpack that is too small will expose your belongings to wind and weather and may not have enough room for all your gear.
So you need a backpack that's big enough to hold everything you need without being so big that it feels like you're carrying a suitcase around. The best way to find out what size backpack is right for you is to choose the type of sport plus how much equipment you need to take with you (day trip, multi-day trip): Lay out all the equipment you need on the floor and see what you need to take with you. Now you know approximately how many litres your backpack must have.

Bike backpacks with hydration system

Bike backpacks with hydration systems are specially designed for bikers and offer an excellent way to quench your thirst even on longer tours. Dakine backpacks with a hydration system are equipped to make them easy to use. The hydration system consists of a hydration reservoir built into the backpack and a tube connected to the reservoir. The hose is designed to be pulled over the shoulder or chest strap for convenient and quick hydration while riding. Bike backpacks with hydration system by Dakine also have several compartments in which you can comfortably store your equipment.

Practical fleece-lined inner pocket for sunglasses and mobile phone or another compartment for your wax and fins. Simply everything has been thought of. With the Dakine surf backpacks, surfers can transport their equipment safely and stylishly.

Kids backpacks

Dakine backpacks for children have to meet a number of requirements. First and foremost, they have to look cool for the girls and boys, but for parents, other criteria are also decisive.

What is a good backpack for school? And what should you look out for when buying one?

A good backpack for school or university must be adjustable to the size of the kids. Shoulder straps must be wide enough and padded so that you or your children can carry the backpack comfortably and without damaging their back. Always make sure that the shoulder straps are adjusted symmetrically, that the backpack is not hanging but worn close to the back and that heavy objects in the backpack are close to the back rather than far in front. Always wear the backpack on your back and always on both shoulders.

Dakine backpacks for school

Dakine backpacks for boys and girls for school and university have a padded inner pocket for a laptop and other spacious inner and outer compartments for folders and notebooks. The back and shoulders are relieved by a chest strap and the weight of heavy books for example, is distributed more evenly. The empty weight of the backpacks is very light, so you can take more with you. Ergonomic mesh fabric on the back ensures optimal wearing comfort, better ventilation and less sweating. This makes Dakine backpacks the perfect companion for your way to school or university.
Backpacks for school must bear a lot. All Dakine backpacks are made of robust, durable materials and therefore have a long life. And if you have to walk through rain or snow, no problem, Dakine school backpacks are water-repellent and easy to clean.
