DAKINE Poacher RAS Vest / Backpack
I'm 5'1 "and 125 lbs. I am a busty woman, so I bought a medium. I should have bought a small one but wanted to wear a big coat, too. I am stoked I wanted this for a few years so I just bought it. Yippie now we need snow here in Utah!! Cheers

This vest is great. Keeps your gear tight to your body, but has enough room for what you need out there. Lots of pockets and cinch options to dial in the fit.

DAKINE Poacher RAS Vest / Backpack - black
This is a great vest/ pack/ with saftey features. As someone whom is interested in not having to much weight yet, not enough items this is the perfect match. Fits my semi hefty self and i still have play space for personal adjustments. Feeling positive about my purchase.

This is just right

DAKINE Poacher RAS Vest / Backpack - black
Excellent fit and adjustments for a close fitting backpack that won't shift and move around while riding. You can cinch the pack up tight. The vest part has great pockets that are both easily accessible and also secure with good zippers. Not too heavy but very sturdy. Even though the sides have an open design that can help with ventilation when it is zipped up tight to you it does restrict pit zip venting. But the design does attempt to allow pit venting and if you have it on loose like you do when hiking it's no problem. Really a good design as a pack for riding along with being able to add an avalanche airbag. It's just right.

DAKINE Poacher RAS Vest / Backpack - black
Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my sister since she’s really into snowboarding. Same day I ordered it, my mother, who is also a big snowboarder, had one come in the mail (so I panicked a bit, haha). Turns out she bought it for herself (whew).
When my sister opened it up, she was super excited. It fits great! I purchased the small and it fits her (5’ 2”) great when she has all her layers on. Only issue so far is that our local ski area has no snow. Fingers crossed for snow but so far I’m super happy with the vest!
(Also, don’t know if this would help for anyone else in terms of sizing but it fits me (M, 6’, 160) snugly with no layers on)
