Excellent Backpack, February 15, 2011
I use my new backpack to carry my skateboard and my pool/park/downhill items: helmet, knee and elbow pads, wrist guards, slide gloves, a towel, skate tools, sometimes a sweatshirt, my cap, mp3 player, sunglasses. Everything fits nice with room to spare. The backpack is really great looking and well made. It is light, middle sized and comfortably to carry. I have not used it to carry books or a notebook, since I bought it for sports stuff, but this backpack would be really useful for school: it has a lot of space, a dedicated and protected notebook section (I would say for up to 14,5" inches), and lots of organizing little pockets on the front section. It also has an insulated pocket that could be very handy to carry snacks/cans. It has two side mesh pockets, I use one of them to carry a cooler bottle.
Item arrived fast and perfect, just as described.

review, February 27, 2010
The backpack itself is pretty awesome. But the image is misleading and makes the backpack look bigger than it really is. I can fit all my notebooks and books in it but I can't fit my laptop in it. arrived on time and was in perfect condition.

long term review, July 17, 2011
This review is from: Dakine Duel Pack (Sports)
I've owned this pack for three years just about on the dot. I like the pack because it is comfortable, the outer is durable, the sternum strap makes commuting by bicycle more comfortable, and you really can't go wrong with the insulated beverage compartment. BUT, after using this pack for everything from school to commuting and grocery hauling to disc golfing and hiking to travel for three years, it has failed me and fallen apart to the point where it is unusable. It isn't the material of the outer wearing out or anything, rather the construction that has failed: the zippers of the main compartment have completely separated from the pack (so I can't close it), and the padded "partition" that separates the laptop compartment from the main compartment has come unstitched at the top, leaving a frayed mess of synthetic fiber. I am currently in contact with warranty representatives over at DaKine to see if this is covered as a manufacturer's defect, and we'll see how that goes, but I have been reminded more than once by friends that if it had been a Jansport, it would be repaired no questions asked for as long as I owned the thing. DaKine, on the other hand, wanted photos, a full description of the problem, and a receipt from three years ago to make their decision as to whether or not they will cover it. I'll see how that goes...
Bottom line: Nice pack when you buy it new, but it may fall apart after a few years of use, and DaKine may or may not decide to repair it.
