DAKINE Glacier Hydration Pack description A 70-ounce reservoir and small front pocket make the DAKINE Glacier Hydration Pack just the right size for a few hours of hiking, biking, skiing, or snowboarding. Stash a wind shell in the front pocket, and pull your shades from the fleece-lined sunglasses pouch before you hit the trail. A removable waist-belt keeps the DAKINE Glacier Hydration Pack from flopping around while you ride singletrack or get in some pow turns at the mountain. |
REALLY GREAT PACK

Dakine definitely nailed this one. This is a great inbounds pack. It really does have a fleece GOGGLE pouch, which works great by keeping moisture and scratch makers away from your spare goggles. This pack has the best hydration system there is-- even better than my Black Diamond 32L Avalung. It's insulated and easily accessible because the zippers are very smooth to open and the mouth thing doesn't move around more or less than you want it to. The Black Diamond is great, too, but always takes two hands because of a tough zipper and improper compartment sizing. The bladder is just the right size, too-- you don't really want more than 70 ounces on your back even for a full day at the resort. I say stop by the water fountain during the day once or twice for additional thirst. The main compartment is perfectly sized for an extra layer, lunch, camera, wallet, keys, etc. Another thing-- this works better than a bigger out of bounds pack because it doesn't have all these loose straps hanging everywhere on your back, that inevitably tangle with the lift chairback. Also, this works better than a fanny pack, too, because fanny packs look so lame. Great work Dakine! Thanks for not making one great pack and for not making fanny packs!
NOT REALLY GREAT PACK

The previous review was written by me, and I am retracting it. The review was really for the previous year's Glacier pack -- not the one I received. I liked last year's a lot (see review), but this year's is being sent back. First off, it's so small that it looks like a purse on my back. That's the main problem. Actually, that's the big problem. A small problem was that this year, they don't actually have a fleece pocket like they had last year. But I don't care if it was lined with golden fleece, it's going back because it looks like a purse. Dakine, good job not making fanny packs, but don't make purses for guys either. Come on now.
