Dakine is an American action-sports gear label started in 1979 by Rob Kaplan in Haiku, Maui, where he built surf leashes and adjustable windsurfing foot straps for local riders. It now makes backpacks, travel and boot bags, snowboard and bike packs, gloves, outerwear and accessories, with the Heli Pack among its best-known styles. Products are utility-first, nylon-heavy and priced for everyday use rather than fashion. The brand is owned by Marquee Brands, which acquired it in 2023, and operates from Torrance, California.
