If your Dakine bag gets dirty, we recommend hand washing with mild soap (like Nikwax Tech Wash), cold water and a soft bristle brush. If hand washing is not going to do the trick, use a front loader washing machine. To ensure your backpack doesn't get tangled, place inside a pillowcase or mesh bag before washing. Always use cold water, mild soap and run on a gentle cycle. Never bleach your pack. Hang to dry in a warm but shady place, ensuring both inside and out are dry before storing.

Working great

My 4th grader had two cheap backpacks fall apart so we upgraded. The dakine backpack is big and sturdy, and the straps got short enough to be comfortable for a kid. The included lunchbox is nice too.

Pickleball

Perfect size backpack for daily Pickleball use. Easily fits two paddles, balls, and a towel, and small crossbody bag, plus a pocket for my cell phone, and strong side pockets for a water bottle. Love it!

Perfect backpack!

This is the perfect backpack for my 6th grader to lug around her belongings for school. The included lunch bag is a plus!

Best backpacks!!!!

I am absolutely delighted with my purchase. I have eagerly been looking forward to getting my hands on a new Dakine bag, and this one is everything I would have wanted. It is spacious with all the compartments and storage space I need for when I am on the go. The floral design is also beautiful and it appeals to me greatly as a creative person (Photographer, videographer and artist). I am super pleased with my purchase! ?

Replaced a 20 yr old Dakine backpack that I still love. Went slightly smaller. So far so good!

Bought the light grey 33L

Bought the light grey 33L for our don entering high school - fits all his books and lunch. Sturdy and good looking. Lots of storage options.

Perfect small business laptop bag

I mainly work on a laptop for my business and this bag is perfect. Love the cooler for snacks.

Could Use Old Details

I love Dakine backpacks. I am super happy with this print. I do miss some of the options my last pack. For one the laptop insert being within the larger pocket is annoying. I preferred having a zipper outside. I like the provided snack bag, but as an adult I don't know I'll use it much. A snack pocket was more convenient.
