DAKINE Heli Pro 16L Backpack - 1000cu in

Item #DAK0770 | 0 in Stock

The DAKINE website says this pack is recommended for people 5'7"...

The DAKINE website says this pack is recommended for people 5'7" and smaller. I think I might prefer this version to the 20L version because it's smaller, but I'm 5'10". Can anyone speak from experience that this pack will work for someone over 5'7"?

if your all torso or have broad shoulders.. Do not get this bag. It's simply not designed for a medium plus build with large shoulders. But if you the average 5'10 guy and skinny upper.. You wont just love it.. You'll literally sleep with it, shower with it. Maybe even dump your girl friend and date it.Thanks Sterling H! Your assessment was dead on! I'm 5'10 180# with a 42" chest and the bag is PERFECTION! Just enough space with no bulk. The diagonal ski carry is wobbly, but fixed with a 12" cinch strap through the front daisy ($2.00 fix). They won't move at all.
