DAKINE APEX

Somone has tied this hydration backpack? I need informations about the back
contact zone and about the hydroreservoir and valve.

I got one. I only use it when I need to carry my fullface. It is larger
and heavier than my Camelbak Blowfish even without the fullface netting.
The contact zone is bigger because the pack is bigger. The original
bladder and bike valve is still unused. I just switch my camelbak bladder
and valve between the Apex and Blowfish. I won't use it as my regular
hydration pack unless I need to carry extra gear or the fullface.

Looks like Dakine came out with a smaller version with a different way to
carry the FF. Check it out:

mmhhhh, I always carry a lot of things in by backpack (camelbak Ventoux) and
I'm sure I want a bigger one wich also has the fullface netting. My only
dubts are the contact zone (not for it's dimensions but for the quality, the
materials) and the reservoir!

Dakine quality is top notch. The contact zone is comfortable for me. The
reservoir doesn't look like an el cheapo product. I can't say how well it
functions. If you're not happy stick a camelbak bladder in to replace it.

OK

It's now time to order it than!

Thanks!

What model is that, the nomad?
I didn't see the bottom straps on the nomad ads though.

Per the pinkbike link, bottom strap is new for 05 version.

The 04 Apex does have bottom straps.

BTW, where did you get yours? Looks like all the Dakine dealers near me =

are surf shops that don't carry the MTB line.
