When a vest and a backpack love each other very much, they make what Dakine calls the Heli Vest. Unlike your conventional backpack, this vest cuts the excess and only holds room for the essentials, like your snow tools, radio, touring skins, hydration bladder, and of course, tunes. What would normally equate to a bulky backpack stacked onto your spine and shoulders is now an evenly dispersed item of clothing that can be cinched down to provide a customized fit. And since you’ll be carrying the lightest amount of weight on the hike up, you’re the first one to the top. On the way down, you have the freedom to send it off the highest ledges and into the steepest bowls without your pack throwing you off balance.
