Low-profile, carry‑everything essentials: the Dakine Heli Pack 12L is for riders who want avy tools, water, and a layer on their back without feeling like they’re wearing a suitcase.
The Dakine Heli Pack 12L Backpack is a slim, snow-specific pack built for mountain minimalists running short tours, sidecountry laps, or all‑day resort missions with just the essentials. At 12 litres, it keeps the profile tight but still fits avy tools, water, a spare layer and snacks, with purpose-built snow tool sleeves and an external shovel blade carry so your safety gear stays locked in and quick to access. Vertical and horizontal snowboard carry plus diagonal ski carry options handle bootpacks, while a large fleece‑lined goggle pocket, external quick‑stash pocket, and a hydration sleeve that doubles as a 15 inch laptop slot keep it working just as well from desk to departure gate as it does from lift to ridgeline.
Slim 12L capacity:
- 12 litre volume gives enough room for avy tools, hydration, an extra layer, and small essentials without feeling bulky.
Snowboard & ski carry:
- Vertical snowboard carry, horizontal board carry option, and diagonal ski carry for short hikes and bootpacks.
Snow tool organisation:
- Snow tool sleeves in the main compartment and external shovel blade carry keep shovel and probe secure and ready to grab.
On‑mountain storage:
- Large fleece‑lined goggle pocket, external quick‑stash pocket, and internal organiser for tools, snacks, and small kit.
Hydration/laptop sleeve:
- Internal sleeve works with a hydration bladder on snow, then takes most 15 inch laptops when you’re off‑mountain.
Comfort and safety details:
- Quick‑dry mesh padded back panel, 38 mm web hip belt, and sternum strap with integrated rescue whistle for secure carry.
Durable recycled build:
- 600D recycled polyester with DWR finish, bluesign‑approved fabrics, and dimensions around 50–53 x 28–30 x 10 cm at roughly 770 g.
