When Dakine designed the Mission Photo Daypack they thought like a photographer on the go. You need a flexible versatile pack you can you use year round. Carry your snowboard one day and your tripod the next remove the padded camera block when taking a day off or carry it separately when you don't need to carry as much. And if you get caught in the rain no worries just deploy the attached rain cover.
