DAKINE Heli Pack - 660cu in - 2007 BCS

I've had this pack for two years now and love it. Its great for light duty backcountry work and is so light I forget it's on. The pack has enough room to carry skis, a shovel and possibly aprobe. I can also store snacks , cameras, or anything else that isn't too large.

Great buy!

Great day pack for small backcountry trips and in-bounds resort skiing. Makes sure to buy the insulated camelbak sleeve to prevent freeze up in the tube. For more serious backcountry stuff you're going to want something with more space.

Lovin every bit of it. Just the right size for skiing, and never would think of returning it? Sick backpack!!!

Great pack - even for those of us that just stay in bounds 99% of the time. Holds just enough gear for keeping extra layers and a lunch for a day on the slopes. I haven't had a chance to test the diagonal ski carry, I only hike when the conditions warrant.

The tube is freeze-resistant, but certainly not freeze proof on the coldest days or during night skiing.

I had an issue where the tube would disconnect from the reservoir - Dakine sent me a replacement reservoir and tube under warranty without issue.

Bought this for my snowboarder daughter and she loves it. Only drawback is that it will freeze on really cold days, but not as bad as CamelBaks.

This pack is everything that a pack should be; functional - there are a ton of straps, pockets and hideaway places for everything; comfortable - I've worn this pack for up to 5 hours at a time on my mountain bike and truly forgot it was there; and the olive green with the earth-tone plaid makes the pack look as good as it performs.
