2008 Dakine Sequence | Reviewed On: March 11, 2009
Gear Reviews>>Packs>>camera>>Dakine SequencePRODUCT SUMMARY
By The Boundary Hunter
THE GOOD
Practicality: The adjustable padded camera block is just the beginning of where this pack is practical. It also has waterproof fleece lined waist pockets and organizer pockets that work perfectly for keeping spare batteries or memory cards. If you find yourself in a blizzard, throw on the rain cover and find comfort knowing that your camera is staying dry even if your not.
Safety First: The sequences front pocket enables the photographers to carry their own shovel and probe in the backcountry so that they're as ready for the unexpected as the rest of the group.
THE BAD
Hydration: Even though the Sequence has side pockets that will fit water bottles, it would be nice to have a hydration sleeve for larger capacity.
Space: When the camera block is in the pack, there isn't much space for additional items such as a large lunch or extra layers.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Dakine created a practical camera pack that has plenty of room for all types of photo equipment including up to five lenses, a camera body, and a tripod if needed. This pack can be used in the snow, sun, or anywhere in between. If you decide to leave the camera at home, simply remove the padded camera block and your left with a 2000 cu. in. pack ready to be stuffed.

| VALUE | 5/5, a bit pricey but necessary to protect a photographers expensive equipment |
|---|---|
| COMFORT | 4/5, the adjustable one-size may not fit everyone perfectly but definitely the majority |
| MITTEN TEST | 5/5, no problem here the zipper pulls are easy to grasp |
| DURABILITY | 5/5, like a new pair of Carhartt's this pack is built to last |
| ACCESS | 4/5, it's a bit tough to get into the pockets in the front compartment if you have a shovel inside, everywhere else works great. |
