Reply to comment by weblur in Another Dakine backpack! I begged my mom to buy, I think it was like 80 bucks 10 years ago. It even came with a pencil case that I still use! It's the only backpack I own. I use it for college, vacation trips, groceries etc. Looks brand new, only had to re-sew part of the zipper a couple months ago. by StarShoot97
Dakine has a amazing warranty on its bags. I would prefer they repaired them, but usually they replace them with few questions. I don’t have personal experience, as my backpack has been flawless for 15 years.

Just bought a ski bag from them this morning and this post is making me so glad that's the one I went with!

Look into a commercial vacuum sealer.
They typically range between 700-1100 but will last forever

The Zinus ones, available on Amazon and probably other places, are pretty nice.
Are they like handcrafted heirlooms? No. But they're not particle board and look and feel nice. Plus they're very inexpensive.

Yup YKK zippers and they must be some heavy duty ones cause I haven’t seen zippers like these before.

I got a dakine backpack with a “lifetime warranty”
The zipper broke so I made a claim but they wanted proof of purchase. I owned the thing for like 6 years at this point. I’m suppose to keep a paper receipt for that long?
Last time I ever got a dakine bag.

Damn I might just do that this year before summer starts.

Use a dish brush and some oxiclean to scrub the shit out of it after it’s soaked in the water and oxi. It’s gonna come out looking almost new.

Ykk zippers? I’ve always assumed they are the best, so I’m curious.

I loved my Dakine packs, but my first one ended up with the insulated pocket ripping inside, making it useless. My second one lasted a while, but the strap broke and I really can't fix it because of where it broke. Is it possibly I am overloading them?

We have this one. Worth every penny. We’ve moved many times. Bed slides apart- no screws! Yet is incredibly stable once assembled. You don’t worry about the finish at all either.

Reply to BMW M leather jacket 40+ years old. I inherited it from my stepfather 20 years ago and wore it every year since then, like across fall & winter time. The zip is now broken, the color faded away but still - by far - my favorite jacket. by k7v1n
I second taking this to a pro for professional clean up snd conditioning. Carefully vet any dry cleaners you might take it to, most send it out to a specialist. Or just find a furrier, they do leather too.

Yes! I have a Dakine backpack from around 2003 that I still bring to nearly every outdoorsy activity. It's still in perfect condition. Probably the most cost effective item I've ever owned.

Unsolicited cleaning tip, soak that bad boy in hot hot water with cup of oxiclean and detergent til cool, maybe twice, then trim those stress threads and it'll look brand new again. Maybe scrub some stain spray into the pockets first too.
Great bag! I scour this sub for ideas of quality things to get at tag sales then clean them up! I really love the blue and white and am so impressed at how well the white has held up.

Hubby has had a secondhand Dakine for almost a decade. Uses it every single day. 👍

Got a blackish one 15 years ago. Used it all throughout school, uni and whatnot. Everything still works, nothing's torn, not even much abrasion. Some colors faded, but holy shit, this thing's great.

Tbh I use very thin summer quick-dry boxers even in the winter cause all I need is my pants stopping the wind & my body heat gives me all the warmth I need. I'm more concerned about sweat when I go into heated public transportation in full winter clothes & then get too hot.
