Dialled for short to medium missions, the Dakine Heli Pro 24L hits that Goldilocks zone of snow packs—big enough for backcountry essentials, still clean and comfy for resort days.

The Dakine Heli Pro 24L Backpack is a purpose-built snow pack that balances touring features with an everyday, ride-friendly profile. At 24 litres, it has enough volume for shovel, probe, layers, water, and food without feeling bulky on the chair or in tight trees, and the back-panel zip gives you full access to the main compartment without unloading your board or skis. Vertical snowboard carry plus diagonal and A-frame ski carry options keep things secure on bootpacks, while a deployable helmet carry, fleece-lined goggle pocket, and insulated hydration sleeve keep the little details sorted from first chair to last.

• Goldilocks 24L volume: 24L (approx 1465 cu in) capacity sized for avy tools, layers, and daily touring gear without being oversized.
• Snow-specific carry options: Vertical and horizontal snowboard carry, plus diagonal or A‑frame ski carry for bootpacks and sidecountry missions.
• Dedicated avy/tool storage: Front snow tool pocket with sleeves for shovel and probe so safety gear stays organised and easy to grab.
• On-mountain organisation: Large fleece-lined goggle pocket, external quick-stash pocket, internal mesh pocket, and pencil/organiser panel for small kit.
• Comfort and support: Quick-dry mesh padded back panel, 38 mm padded hipbelt, sternum strap with rescue whistle for stable, all-day carry.
• Hydration/laptop sleeve: Insulated hydration sleeve that doubles as a laptop compartment when you’re off-mountain travelling or commuting.
• Durable, water-repellent fabrics: 600D polyester or 600D recycled polyester ripstop with water-repellent finish, using bluesign-approved materials in current colourways.
