Dakine HELI 2.0 PRO S Backpack 26L

Designed for female mountain sports enthusiasts with a short torso, the Dakine Heli 2.0 Pro S Backpack 26L is a winter backpack designed for backcountry adventures, whether skiing or snowboarding. Its 26-liter capacity provides ample space for winter mountain gear, while the integrated RECCO® technology is a key feature for those venturing into avalanche-prone terrain.

The Dakine Heli 2.0 Pro S Backpack 26L: Built for Backcountry Demands

The main compartment, accessible via the rear and side panels, features dedicated sleeves for snow tools and a shovel—a layout that directly addresses the needs of challenging off-piste excursions. The external carrying options are particularly well-designed: skis can be carried diagonally or in an A-frame, and snowboards can be carried vertically or horizontally. The removable helmet carrying system rounds out this package without unnecessarily adding weight to the pack’s structure. Compatibility with a two-way radio or an insulated hydration system further enhances the gear’s versatility.

A comfortable fit for extended outings

The back panel is padded with breathable mesh and features ergonomic shoulder straps and load-adjustment straps to keep the pack close to the back on rough terrain. The 25-mm ergonomic hip belt with wings effectively distributes the load, while the removable chest strap, equipped with a built-in emergency whistle, makes it easy to adjust on the go. The S version of this model is specifically designed for shorter torsos, ensuring consistent back support without the need for rough adjustments.

Materials and Everyday Organization

The body of the pack is made from 600D recycled diamond-ripstop polyester and 600D recycled coated polyester, two fabrics sourced through a responsible collection process. This construction contributes to tear resistance while aligning with a commitment to upcycled materials. For additional storage, an external quick-access pocket, an internal mesh pocket, and a storage pocket on the lumbar panel allow you to organize frequently used accessories. The fleece-lined goggle pocket protects your goggles from scratches and the cold. The backpack weighs 1.38 kg and measures 51 x 37 x 6.5 cm.

The Dakine Heli 2.0 Pro S Backpack 26L combines all the features expected for organized skiing and snowboarding in off-piste terrain into a compact design, with special attention paid to ergonomics for riders with shorter torsos.
