DAKINE Heli Pro 16L Backpack - 1000cu in description

Ah There's nothing like lift-accessed backcountry lines. You get the untouched lines of the backcountry AND the vert of a resort. DAKINE hooks you up for beyond-the-rope yo-yoing with the Heli Pro 16L Backpack. A versatile carry system secures a board or skis for hikes, and a pouch secures your shovel and probe. DAKINE eases your trips beyond the boundaries with an integrated a fleece-lined goggle pocket, an insulated hydration pocket, a deployable water bottle pocket, and a waterproof waist-belt pocket. And if you like to earn your turns, 1000 cubic inches of interior space gives you a streamlined pack for tours.

This is one hell of a winter pack. It is extremely durable! It is pretty light weight for its size and durability. It is very adjustable. So you can easily adjust this pack for a a lazy loose fit or a snug fit while you are riding no problem. Also, the snowboard carry is awesome. I have tried the skis but, I wasn't a huge fan. The diagonal loop method isn't that great on this pack. Another handy thing about this pack is that the top pocket that you see in the picture is actually padded. It is a great spare goggle or sunglass case. I used one of these packs for 4 months while working at The Canyons and I never had a problem with it. Looking forward to using it this up coming season. Bottom line: If you are looking for a winter pack that you can store your gear in, extra goggles or sunglasses, and something that is hydration compatible with an insulated sleeve. Look no further, this pack is the one for you.

This pack is constructed well and is quiet durable. I use mine for motorcycle riding and find it to be rather heavy totally empty. I would recommend getting the 20L over the 16L pack if you wanna carry more than a jacket in it though. Over all it has fair storage, functionality and looks pretty cool.
