DAKINE Mission Backpack - 1500cu in - 2010

I've had this one for about 2 years now and I couldn't be happier. It is such a great pack with a ton of great pockets. I use it for school, camping, boarding, and even a great laptop carrier. I definitely give this bag a 10! If you or your kids or someone you know is looking for a new pack get em this one.

Oh, hello starving college student who recently picked up snowboarding, plus snatched this pack with the money you got selling your study books. This pack is drenched in all the necessary pockets, pads, and tech that you would want in a snowboarding pack, yet in a simple lightweight design. The goggle pocket is perfect for keeping glasses, goggles, or other scratchable items. Waterproof to the max! the laptop carry case on the inside is perfect for putting a water bladder in and staying hydrated while you kill the park, or slash the pow. So get ready to pack this bag with all the gear you can think of. You won't be needing it for those study books anymore.

I have had this Backpack for many hears and I love it! I use it for kiteboarding, snowboarding, traveling, camping, and as a diaper bag. It's a simple backpack that does what you need it to do... carry stuff!

This backpack is awesome! It's very comfortable and isn't bulky. The backpack material seems very durable and tough. It has a plenty of space for my laptop, goggles, books, etc. Perfect pack for school and the mountain. Only complaint I have is there is no water bottle pocket, otherwise I love it. Highly recommended to anyone.

This backpack is the most versatile thing I have ever strapped on my back. Stuck with me through a full year of college, and after that went on a full DCI US tour with me. I have never had a single problem with this backpack. It has a ton of space to fit anything/everything you could imagine. It has an extremely spacious main compartment that also has a laptop pocket and extremely durable lining. The front pocket has 4 pen slots, 2 phone or mp3 player slots, a back wall zip pocket, and and a deep bottom. Worked out perfectly for the things I needed to be able to get to quick. The outside pockets are great for smaller things you may need like flashlights or a bottle of tylenol. Considering I am not a snowboarder, the goggle pouch works perfectly for sunglasses as well, even spacious enough to hold two pairs at one time when I was on tour. The straps are padded very well and the backpack sits squarely on the back with a nice comfortable fit; would be perfect for riding. The backpack itself is made out of super-durable materials. I've thrown this thing around a lot in the time I've had it, and it has never come out with as much as a scratch. I could probably pass it off for brand new if I tried.
This backpack is pretty much perfect. I have absolutely no complaints, and I would HIGHLY recommend this backpack to anyone. It's a great pack whether you're looking for one for school, or one for riding and heavy usage.

This is a sweet pack. It fits my 3' binder and laptop perfectly. I also have room for my math book and other things. MY headphones fit great in the goggle case on the back side. This is an awesome balance for a bag that will be used for snowboarding and school. One problem would be that it is hard to access the laptop sleeve when the pocket on the back is full. Not a big deal tho.

I got this pack about a week ago the (JP Walker) and it's awsome I have recieved complements and my friend's and I agree its one of the coolest packs in the school and I can fit everything I need in it. If you're going to get a pack from this website this is the one to get.

First day riding with this I flipped over and off a rusty pipe jib, a few ligaments in my shoulder didn't make it out alive, but my $1200 camcorder in the nape/goggle pocket came out fine, not a scratch!!!

I'll update after a few more days of riding but so far it's comfortable, roomy and secure thanks to the straps. Great price too

I recently bought the Mission Backpack to use in the city and on the mountain. It is a great pack and I would highly recommend it to anyone needing new kit. One fact I could find when researching was whether a 15 inch macbook pro would fit into the laptop sleeve within the pack. I am pleased to say that it does indeed fit (quite adequately in fact). However, it should be noted that if you intend to put your goggles in the goggles/glasses section then the laptop may not fit as well as it otherwise would. Also, the top of the laptop will poke out a little bit - BUT you can fit the laptop in a neoprene case within the Mission backpack - awesome. You'll be truly protected all year around.

So Mac lovers, you can now have the best of both worlds!

This bag is awesome it fits my new Mac Book Pro snug. I use it for mostly school but cant wait to add a skateboard to the back this summer. It holds up great and zips nicely.
