AN EVERYDAY PACK FOR SCHOOL AND BEYOND Social weekend or school-day mission, the Essentials 22-liter backpack has the space to keep you organized and ready for the day. There's a dedicated laptop sleeve and an organizer pocket with slots to keep pens, pencils and cords at the ready. Dakine was founded in Hawaii in 1979 and located at the base of Mt. Hood in Hood River, Oregon, builds backpacks, travel bags, and accessories, outerwear and clothing for people who love to surf, snowboard, skateboard, mountain bike, ski, windsurf, kiteboard and travel. Progress Is In Our DNA. We're challenging you to chase the unknown. To push against predictable and break away from comfort - to surf new breaks, ride steeper terrain, go where the wind howls, and the trails push past the horizon. To go where you've never gone, do what you've never done and revel in the experience. We'll be right there with you.
