Dakine Heli Pro 2012

Overall

I use this backpack all the time on, and off the mountain. It's great as a normal backpack due to the organiser pocket and laptop carry, but it's also great for the ski carry and comfort when on the mountain. The only thing stopping me giving the product 10 stars is the excess length of straps which seem to flap about everywhere. Then again, I'm pretty skinny!

Performance

Absolutely love this pack. It's extremely comfortable to ski with (I often forget I'm wearing it until I hit a chair lift) and very durable. Does everything it says it will.

Design

Great design, comes in loads of different colours/patterns. Very ergonomic and durable too. 20L, it features vertical snowboard, and diagonal ski carry, fleece lined goggle pocked, hydration compatible, organiser pocket, shovel carry and laptop space.

Value

The official retail price is a little high, however if you shop around online, you can find some bargains like myself. I paid about half the retail price, but after having used the product for a few months now, would have happily paid more for it.
