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.

ahhhhh, Im so dissapointed today. Some actual retards got the job I wanted. Hows that for a kick in the teeth!? Oh and the gloves? I'd buy them, but seeing as I wont have any money now - I can't.
i feel your pain, some f*ckwit stole a job from under my nose aswell, like he would know more about me than me! its impossible! but yer the gloves and packs are sweet if only i could afford them!

I love dakine as much as nebody, but their glove fit blows. the fingers are ALL too short, none of the employees at my shop can fit into these freak finger gloves. they need to get normal people to test these glove fittings with normal finger sizes.
love dakine bags got a drafter smal lbut super good for a days riding can hold tools drink and my lunch haha
