Essentials For Every Rider
Dakine: Backpacks, Gear, & Apparel Built for Skating & BoardingBuilt with true passion, Dakine creates amazing gear for people who love to surf, skate, bike, ski, and travel. In 1979, Rob Kaplan began to build a reputation in Maui's local surfing community as the go-to guy for unique gear modification and repairs. Using his talents, Kaplan would soon begin inventing new gear solutions, introducing windsurfing's first adjustable foot strap and waist harness in 1982. His range of incredible products continued to expand over the years to include backpacks, travel bags, accessories, outerwear, and clothing for all types of activities.
Dakine's central focus has always been quality. They make amazing gear designed to meet the real needs of the people who use it. Each new piece is built using high quality modern materials and is rigorously tested in real world environments.The result is that every Dakine backpack, Dakine glove, and Dakine shirt fits well, lasts long, and looks great. Central to Dakine is their expert fusion of style and practicality: looks greats, performs even better.
If you're looking for an amazing backpack, check out the Dakine Wonder 15L and for a classic Dakine look, check out the Dakine Tall Boy Beanie. No matter what you love to do, do it with Dakine.
We at OutlandUSA love Dakine's unique authenticity. A lot of the surfers, skaters, and bikers in our communities wear Dakine for that very reason. Dakine bags, hats, shirts, and gloves are built to last and are made to be loved a longtime.
From developing the worlds strongest surf leash to celebrating 40 plus years of rider-driven designs, weve continued to push the limits of how to best support you in the mountains, in the water, and the journey in between.
All Dakine Snow Series packs are equipped with a reservoir sleeve, a hydration hose port, and a shoulder strap hose clip.
This sleeve is sewn into a small stash pocket that rests against the back wall of the pack directly between the two aluminum stays and above the top of the back access pocket. All other Snow Series packs feature a reservoir sleeve permanently sewn onto the back wall of the main compartment.
First, determine leash length. This should be approximately the same as your board length
Next, determine thickness. 3/16" comp leashes are popular for ankle to shoulder high surf. 1/4" Kainui Team and Kainui are popular for shoulder to 4 feet overhead waves. 5/16 Kaiunui is recommended for double to triple overhead surf.
Determine best length. We add a little extra length to each bag so that your bag and board length should be the same. (i.e. an 8'0" board will fit in an 8'0" bag) If you are in between sizes, go up to the next length. Determine usage. If you are using your bag for protection while on the roof of your car, or in the back of your truck, one of our Daylight or Knit Series bags may be all the protection you need. For airline travel or more everyday protection, choose one of our Regulator bags. For traveling with multiple boards, consider one of our Traveler series bags with wheels.
Using a clean rag and wax remover or citrus solvent, remove oil, dirt, and old wax residue from base. Repeat as desired.
While non-leather gloves can be machine washed, leather gloves should be hand washed with light soap and warm water. Gently press out excess water before hanging to dry.
Due to the construction of layered gloves, we don't recommend turning the gloves inside out for cleaning.
When possible, allow gloves to dry out slowly at room temperature, rather than placing them near a heater or in a dryer, as it may damage the materials.
All leather Dakine gloves come with a Nikwax packet to help maintain waterproofing.
Note that Nikwax can occasionally alter the color of the leather, so test it first on a small area before applying to the entire glove.
To apply, spread the Nikwax on the glove like hand lotion, rubbing across all leather areas.
For optimal waterproofing, treat every 30 days, and after washing.
