DaKine Amp 12L Hydration Pack - In For Review

DaKine has been making hydration packs for years, but many have criticized them for their overweight designs. Well, any of those complainers should take a look at the new DaKine Amp 12L and 18L hydration packs. Built with lighter-weight materials, but still sporting all the bells-and-whistles you've come to expect from DaKine hydration packs, the Amp 12L keeps it light and functional. Looking this pack over, I'm impressed with the new back panel and shoulder straps. They are built with Swiss cheese-like holes to maintain airflow on long, sweaty rides. Overall comfort is solid and the pack is built big enough to carry all the necessities on a daylong epic ride. More Features: Molded back panel with air channel ventilation Airflow shoulder straps XC helmet carry straps 100 oz Hydrapak reservoir (included) Pump, tube and accessory organizing pockets Side mesh pockets for quick stashing Waist belt to keep things in place Fleece-lined sunglass/phone pocket Size: 12L or 700 cu. in.
