If you’re often on the go, your backpack is your home base—whether you’re out for a full day of fun or gearing up for a heavy semester of classes. Dakine designed their new 28-liter Method Backpack DLX to be a rugged mobile base for significant loads, with ultra-durable construction and ample organizational options for items you need throughout the day. Made of 100% recycled polyester or nylon (depending on the colorway), the 28-liter Method DLX centers around a spacious main compartment with plenty of room for books, binders and extra clothes. Three exterior pockets make it easy to organize smaller accessories, electronics, sunglasses and keys, while integrated water-bottle pockets on the sides keep your beverages handy. An adjustable sternum strap cinches the pack close when you’re on the move, and the 28-liter Method DLX is available in a variety of prints and colors to suit your taste.
If your Dakine bag gets dirty, it is recommended to hand wash with mild soap (like Nikwax Tech Wash), cold water and a soft bristle brush. If hand washing is not going to do the trick, use a front loader washing machine. To ensure your backpack doesn't get tangled, place inside a pillowcase or mesh bag before washing. Always use cold water, mild soap and run on a gentle cycle. Never bleach your pack. Hang to dry in a warm but shady place, ensuring both inside and out are dry before storing.
