DAKINE Heli Pro 20L Winter Pack - 1200cu in

If you're heading into the backcountry but don't want a massive load on your back, look to the DAKINE Heli Pro 20L Backpack. With 1200 cubic inches of interior space, it gives you a not-too big, but not-too small option for forays into the great white yonder. So pack some extra clothes and a lunch into the main compartment, slide your avie shovel and probe into the quick-access front pocket, and skin up. If you have to hike, strap your board(s) in the ski or snowboard carry systems. DAKINE tricked out this pack with a fleece-lined goggle pocket, a waterproof camera pocket, and an insulated sleeve for your hydration system.

Bottom Line: DAKINE's powerhouse pack for day trips into the backcountry.

Fat skis

By:
November 19, 2008

I have an older version of the heli pro, its from 2 years ago. I love the pack, the only complaint I have is it doesn't like to carry fat skis. I ride Gotamas, and when they are strapped on diagonally they take a lot of room away from the pack. And by a lot I mean a lot, like almost have to empty the pack. So if you ride fatties you have to strap 'em side by side where you would put a snowboard, which is fine, but kinda annoying.

I'm trying to decide between the Heli Pro 20L and Dakine Baker pack. My use will be backcountry snowboarding (light day trips) and I'm about 6'2". Will one fit my torso better? Are the shoulder and hip straps any different in terms of construction and quality?

I think that the Heli Pro 20L would fit your frame better, and I'm pretty sure the shoulder straps and hip straps are the same. The Baker pack is only 16 liters though, so I really think it may be too small for you. I like the horizontal board carry of the Heli Pro too. Good for short hikes, and makes an awesome make-shift butt pad. :)

Amazing

This bag is awesome...my sister and friend both had one and they persuaded me to get it, and i love it. The bag is very comfortable to wear and it doesnt hang off your back far, there aren't a lot of straps that hang to far to get caught somewhere. I would recommend this bag to any one that skis and owns their own pair...and even if they dont i would still buy it.

What are those 3 little elastic loops for? They are shown in the third detail view and named "Gear loop".I've always wondered why they are there.

Just gives you the option of clipping stuff to the outside if you want it to be handy without taking the pack off or it won't fit in the pack. Water bottle, gloves, helmet, that kind of thing.

I use it as my school backpack and it hauls everything just fine as long as you aren't hauling huge text books and binders.

Will it work on the moon, or the camelback tube will froze?

The moon gets really really cold, and really really hot. not much atmosphere. so uh, it depends. planning on taking a trip?

True. The moon does have some crazy temperatures. The shoulder strap is meant to keep your camelback tube insulated. If it doesn't camelback does make bladders with an insulated tube and nozzle, so they don't freeze which could easily go into the pack. Just be sure to suck all the water out of the nozzle after you lock the flow valve, because it might still freeze. I could totally take one to the moon. Without a doubt.
