Buy Dakine 13-Litre Grom Pack Now
Buying a backpack online is tough and unfortunately I could have done better. Specifically, I wanted a backpack for day trips/hikes in a jungle location. Having past good experiences with Dakine (and their large selection) I focused in on them. When I received the backpack it looked sturdy and well-made but very, very small. This didn't turn me off completely as I wanted it small, but I had to let out almost all the slack to get it on my back (5-11, 165, slim build with athletic shoulders). I tested it out on a mile walk to the market. Even empty I noticed it on my back the whole way. The straps are very narrow and rubbed against my neck. Once at the market I was surprised by how much this little thing held (2 jars of salsa, bottle of juice, 2 plastic bottles of coke, a box of aspirin and 4 bananas). When I put it on loaded up it sat better and kept the straps off my neck. However, once loaded I felt the thin shoulder straps more. Im hoping with some use it softens up, and I think it will, but if I had a chance to do over (and more time) I probably wouldn't buy this.This is our second Dakine backpack. The one for our daughter is two years old and is still in great shape. Worth the money.I needed a small pack to carry my lunch and a light jacket when going to work. Was not to sure of sizing specs but went ahead and bought it. It's ideal for my needs and I don't feel like It's to large.Has pockets for water bottles , shades and one large pocket and another smaller one. I know the Dakine name and feel confident it's durable and will last awhile. Very happy with it.
