Quality construction and it looks really cool!

Rating:****
I have only used my Heli Pack once. It's nice, but I am not completly in awe of it like most other reviewers are. In fact, I was thinking of selling it on ebay and going for the larger Heli Pro pack instead, but only because I like to carry a lot of extra stuff. Bought this one at a shop at a resort on sale when I needed a pack in a pinch. It seemed a little small for much more than an extra fleece layer and a Camelbak bladder, but maybe that's the point! If I had tried to stuff my camera, goggles, and walkie talkie in it would have been really tight! It works well if you are packing really light, although even so it did seem a little thick while sitting on a chair lift. Had to keep an arm over the back of the lift to feel safe! Overall the construction is awesome, though! Great quality stuff from Dakine! If you pack light, you probably can't go wrong with this pack.

Great engineering!

Rating:*****
First the good: this backpack is just the exact size one would expect from a backpack made for backountry/heli skking. It has enough room to hold all the essentials: first-aid kit, water, a few powerbars, spare goggles, 1 extra layer and a flask. It has a separate pocket for an snow shovel, and an avalanche needs. I've used it for boarding and mtn biking and probe can easily be attached to it. I owned the heli pro (20 liter version), but found it too bulky for myfind it of excellent quality and design. The bad? None! ;-)

Perfect pack for the day trip!

Rating:*****
Just got back from a week out west (Midwesterner here) and have to say this pack was perfect for the big resorts! I was able to fit extra gloves & hat, lunch, water, camera, sunglasses , etc. so I didn't need to trek back to the car or get a locker! Also, I helped a young kid in our group by carrying his skis from the car and was able to strap my own right on my back. The only downside is that the straps around the waist seem a bit long. Thanks Altrec!

Great functional form fitting pack

Rating:*****
This is an excellent multi functional pack. The hydration compatable feature has come in handy during long days on the mountain. Plenty of room for extra layer,gloves,lunch,multi tool,etc. The light weight design is very form fitting making it comfortable to the point where you don't even know that it's on your back. Skis fit well acroos the back of pack for carrying in backcountry.This is a perfect pack for any day use, whether hiking,mountain biking or skiing/resort/backcountry.

Ridiculous

Rating:*****
I love my Heli-Pack to death. It is just big enough to carry all the essentials, like powerbars, spare goggles, spare gloves and a hydration bladder. I have also carried my shell in there on those warm days. It never gets in the way, has a perfectly snug fit and somehow is ALWAYS JUST big enough for everything. Not too big, not too small. Definitely check it out if you want a great day pack.

This pack has what you need w/o extra that you don't.

Rating:*****
I bought my Heli pack about 6 years ago and use it regularly. I ride with a long snowboard (172) and it hold it stable and never a problem. The pack is very comfortable and in the summer I also use it for trail hikes and such. I've used other packs borrowed from friends or my own and the Heli Pack is by far the best for performance and also won't break your wallet.

Great pack!

Rating:****
The Heli Pack is just right for the basics. I never had any issues getting on the lift or on the slopes. The main compartment can hold an extra layer and your lunch, and the two external compartments gives easy access to tools or other accessories. I wish there were dividers in the main section. The shoulder, sternum and waist straps are comfortable and unobtrusive although there's a lot left to flap around.

Grest fit, Quality construction, Slim profile

Rating:*****
The Dakine Heli pack is an excellent inbounds or out-of-bounds pack. The fit is perfect for me (I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs) and the construction is quality. It should last for years of skiing. I like the size. Its large enough to hold all of your needed equipment, but is small enough for bombing on the slopes in-bounds without feeling like your going to fall off of the lift.

Dakine Heli Back Pack

Rating:*****
I was very apprehensive to purchase a backpack online but my son loves his backpack and I am very pleased with the quality and the accuracy of what you see online is what you get. I know the item is well made and was worth every penny. My kids are snowboarders and if they want anything else, I will not hesitate to purchase the item. Thanks, Evelyn

got delivered very quickly, and loved it from the beginning. Holds skis tight, and is very lightweight and attractive. The backpack is very comfortable but smaller than I thought it would be. I thought I would be able to use it as a school backpack also, but i would not recomend it for school use. The capacity is good for light storage. NICE PACKPACK OVERALL
