Dakine

Dakine, a truly original American outdoor adventure brand founded in Hawaii in 1979, started of making surf leashes and windsurfing accessories. The name comes from Hawaiian pidgin, "da kine" meaning the best or the ultimate. From there, the brand moved into snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking and travel, building bags, packs and accessories designed around the specific demands of each. Function leads everything, with handy pockets sit where hands naturally land. Their easy to adjust straps and hard-wearing materials handle weather, dirt and the general indignity of being tossed into the back of a van. Dakine gear is built for people who are outside, and it shows in the design. Practical, unfussy and always ready when you are.Read more
