8-30-07 // Previewed: Dakine's New Builders Pack

Here's the Builders Pack all loaded down, even with a chainsaw!
The first of its kind - a mountain bike trailbuilding backpack.


Check this out. Chico from Dakine just sent us some preview pics of a new backpack they’ll be releasing at Interbike. They’re calling it the Builders Pack. It’s designed specifically for mountain bike trail builders and is going to retail for $140.

Dave Bisset, Dakine’s Senior Pack Designer, who is also an avid trail builder, has been working with a bunch of local trail builders to dial in the Builders Pack. This is specialized product for a core group of niche users who should really appreciate Dakine’s efforts to satisfy their specialized needs. As far as we know, nobody has offered anything like this before.

The Pack includes:
Expandable chain saw pocket
Quick access lopper sleeve
Roll up nail bag
First Aid Case
Fuel bottle pocket
Water bottle pocket
Multiple Storage pockets
Macleod/shovel carry sleeves

Builders Pack Specs:
Volume - 1800 cu in/ 29L
Size - 21 x 11x 8” (53x29x20cm)
Material - Cordura Ballistic Nylon

The included nail bag provides an organized place to store your nails and rolls up for easy storage.
