they do have lifetime warranties and i plan to do so. however the store was closed when i wanted to go in today.
the process is that store sends it out to dakine, dakine inspects it to make sure its covered under the warranty and not from "regular wear and tear" which is what im thinking they will call it. and then even if they DO decide to warranty it you have no guarentee you will get the same bag / same colour and ill be rattled if they send me some emo / pink / gay backpack.
also, i end up having to buy another backpack because this is how they do their warranty so its just a perpetuating cycle. i can tell you what brand i wont be buying...
