Oct 9, 2008

Dakine of Hood River Oregon make products for us cyclists that enhance our riding pleasure. We're not talking components here, we're talking Hydration packs, Gloves, tail gate covers, traveling bike bags, and the all important Trail Builders pack. They want to help you enjoy your riding experience at home or abroad.

Check inside for a look at the new packs and gloves from Dakine:

The fine folks at Dakine have been making cycling packs for some time now and it's all out of a need for having a pack that suits different riding styles. From the all new AMP series for the All Mountain riders, to the Apex for the rider that likes to carry their armor to the top along with everything else they need for an epic day of descents, to the Builder's pack for the guy out there maintaining and building the trails you and I enjoy, Dakine has your back covered.
