Dakine Essentials 26L

Yessir. The 26l is the way to go. Perfect for all the fixings for the day plus a camera (if you carry) and a coat. The fit is great for my build too - 6'3"/200lb

I’m shorter than you and still went with the 26L. The 21L was way too small for me. If you have any intention of packing shoes, clothes, and standard edc I’d strongly recommend the 26L. I often have to pack boxing gloves and my Gi for martial arts so it was a no brainer. Sizing based on how it looks...

We bought this for our newborn because it has a side pocket for a bottle and the front pocket is easily accessible. It also comes with a insulated cooler pouch that can be removed. Overall we like the size and basic functions. This is a no frills bag and doesn't have clasps, latches, or straps that ...

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 pock...

A huge selling point for me was the matching insulated cooler bag! It and the backpack are a wonderful floral pattern (that matches a pair of snow gloves I have :)

High quality materials, solid zippers, and have deep water bottle pockets on the sides (my 40oz water bottle doesn't fall out!)

The ba...

This backpack has a lot of well constructed and convenient little pockets. The water bottle pockets on the sides are also deep enough so that if you swing your pack onto your shoulder, the bottle won’t fall out. I also really appreciate the olive green color helping provide a more professional look ...

I was on the hunt for a new backpack for school, and this backpack was perfect! I bought the Botanics Pet and it’s really pretty in real life. I like how comfortable it is and how roomy it is also. I can carry 6 notebooks, my pencil bag, a laptop, and there’s still more room. I also like how the bac...

We got this backpack for my 11 year old middle schooler. It's exceptional bag. Really well made, has tons of compartments. it is very comfortable to wear ( for a young middle schooler). It has great style and my daughter likes the design and color. Highly recommend. 26 is a better size that larger v...

Dakine was very helpful with my warranty claim. They provided me with excellent service and made the process so easy. I received a new backpack that is incredibly durable and effective for my everyday needs. It’s super stylish and I love the look of it.

The 26L has just the right amount of storage and pockets to keep my travel items at the ready, including the water bottle holders. I have had dakine backpacks before and they are durable and stay looking like new for many years.
