Nothing screams “I’m a pro, dude” like hefting around a couple of camera bodies mounted with those fancy white Canon zooms and a big honkin’ monopod. But how to carry all of that photo bling when you’re on the slopes? Dakine to the rescue, with the multifunctional Sequence backpack. The beauty of the Sequence is its ease of access to your gear so that you can start shooting quickly. Simply slip out of the shoulder straps, loosen the waist belt and spin the pack around so it’s in front of you. Then, zip open the backpad and access your contents in the “camera pad”—sort of a pack within a pack—that houses your body, lenses and whatever accessories you’re carrying. Your gear is protected by a multitude of nylon-covered foam dividers which Velcro into place so that your bodies and lenses don’t bang into each other. Side pockets store accessories, while two broad-webbing straps let you strap on skis or a tripod. The top pocket is ideal for storing lunch, sunglasses or other small items, while compression straps on the top of the shoulder harness can hold a down sweater or soft-shell. A flap on the exterior zips back to stow a shovel blade and a handle and avalanche probes, and features daisy-chain webbing for lashing on other items. dakine.com
