DAKINE Heli-Pro Backpack - 1000-1200 cu in
Helipro rules!

Well, I have to confess that I haven't gone heli-skiing, and it being the summer I haven't even taken this pack up on the hill yet. But I have been wearing it around to town to break it in and for hiking/biking. It's very comfortable, and it looks good too. I tested out the diagonal ski carry, and was very impressed and already put hydration as well. One complaint; there are almost too many straps, and some are too long. Once the season begins, I'll probably cut a few, and have some others shortened...but overall, I think this pack will bring me years of good use. Thanks again Dakine!
