DAKINE Travel Packs

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I decide between the 38L, the 48L expandable carry-on, and the 110L roller for my trip?

  Choose the 38L for short trips or strict carry-on limits—it's streamlined and often lighter for day-to-day travel. The 48L (expandable to ~63L with the expansion panel) suits week-long trips or travelers who need extra packing flexibility, while the 110L roller is built for extended or gear-heavy travel and typically includes robust spinner wheels and a reinforced shell for abrasion resistance. Consider trip length, whether you need wheeled mobility, and how much gear you regularly pack.
• How does the Dakine 38L travel pack compare to the 48L expandable carry-on?

  The 38L is a more compact, carry-on-focused option that keeps a lower profile for overhead bins and lighter packing, while the 48L provides noticeably more packing volume plus a 15L expansion panel for extra capacity when needed. Both models commonly share Dakine features like split-level organization, padded laptop and tablet sleeves, and weather-resistant fabrics, so the choice mainly comes down to how much space and expansion you want.
• What materials and sustainability features are used in Dakine travel packs?

  Dakine uses durable, weather-resistant fabrics with coated linings for easy cleaning and longevity, and many models employ YKK ® #10 main zippers for reliability. The brand also incorporates recycled materials in select designs—such as the Campus Backpack’s 85% recycled polyester and 15% nylon—and offers collapsible constructions and lightweight builds to reduce waste and storage footprint when not in use.
