Tyler is incorrect. The Heli Pro DOES HAVE a dedicated snow tool pocket with room for your shovel and sleeves for your shovel handle and probe. It is the lower exterior pocket in the picture. While I would not recommend this pack for extended touring, it is a great choice for gate-accessed backcountry laps, in-bounds hiking, cat skiing, or any day on the resort that presents a high avalanche risk.

No it doesn't have a full time dedicated avy tool pocket... you can fit those items in the main compartment, but then room for other items is limited... This pack is intended for what it's named for... Heli or snowcat days... No tools required, just a bag for extra layers, gloves, camera's and the such... Not a full time BC bag..
