Dakine is an American outdoor clothing company that has been delivering high-quality products for outdoor enthusiasts since 1979. The founder, Rob Kaplan, began making improved surf leashes to help his friends ride bigger waves on Maui's North Shore. From there, Dakine has grown to offer high-quality backpacks, luggage, surf, snow, and bike gear in addition to sportswear and sports equipment for adventure sports.
Dakine offers a diverse range of products that cater to various storage and transportation needs. The Dakine backpack collection includes daypacks, hydration packs, and travel backpacks that are ideal for hiking, school, and travel. Dakine duffle bag series feature bags of different sizes from small to large, which makes them ideal for gym goers or weekend getaways. The Dakine luggage bag collection features carry-on bags, check-in bags, and split rollers that are perfect for air travel. The bike bag collection, on the other hand, includes bike travel bags, bike packs, and bike hydration packs. Lastly, the Dakine snowboard bag collection includes board bags, boot bags, and wheelie bags.
Moving on to gloves, Dakine's glove and mitten collections are cherished by many outdoor enthusiasts for their durability, functionality, and style. The range of gloves includes snow gloves, biking gloves, and surfing gloves. The snow glove collection includes Gore-Tex gloves, leather gloves, and mittens. The biking glove collection includes full-finger, half-finger, and fingerless gloves. Lastly, the surfing glove collection includes neoprene gloves that are perfect for cold water temperatures.

Dakine indeed has Hawaiian roots. The company was founded on the beautiful island of Maui. While the brand is now global, it still maintains its connection to Hawaiian culture, as seen in their use of Hawaiian-inspired designs and names for some of their products. As of now, the brand’s facility is located at the base of Mt. Hood in Hood River, Oregon.
The brand was founded back in 1979, which makes it a 44-year-old company. Quite a decent term, long enough to test the brand’s ability to compete with the others.
Dakine is extremely committed to the idea of sustainability. As a part of that commitment, they are using high-quality materials that are eco-friendly and recyclable. Those include recycled plastics, organic cotton, and Bluesign approved materials.
