CamelBak Helena Hydration Pack 3L - Women's description With enough cargo space for an extra jacket, pants and some snacks, plus a 3L water reservoir, CamelBak's Helena Hydration Pack gets any girl ready for a day-long adventure. Made with a higher sternum strap and a harness that contours to a gal's body, the Helena Pack feels comfortable throughout your backcountry treks or high-mountain hikes. Dual compression straps keep the Helena Pack compact, and the front pocket gives you quick access to sunscreen and trail maps. Bite down on the leak-proof bite valve and stay hydrated without missing a step. |
Upgrading to 3 liters

I love the Camelbak systems and was in need of a larger unit and also wanted additional space for layers, lunch, etc. The Helena is perfect in every way. It did the trick in the Grand Canyon and is now perfect for spring and summer hiking in the Northeast.
excellent hydration pack

Not only does this pack hold 3L of water and fit like a dream (you can barely even tell you're wearing it...), I was able to fit 2 maps, a first aid kit, camera, sunscreen, keys, cell phone, and extra shirt, an extra pair of socks, 2 energy bars, and sunglasses. It's basically perfect. I love the lumbar strap to keep it steady while biking (and take pressure off the back/shoulders), and the compression straps are nice too if you have a smaller load. Love it!
nice little pack, but, what about 5'2" me?
Not_a_name: 
Helena looked small at first, but it easily holds everythign I need for a day--AND more water than I've ever used, ever. It has nice features--pockets, padding, compression straps, ventilation for your back. Problem--This is a woman's pack but the torso length is too long for me by atleast an inch. Disappointing. Im 5'2"--not exceptionally short for a woman. Thats the most annoying thing with the Helena-taller people already have options--what about me? They couldve made the torso lengh shorter, they even couldve made the whole thing a little wider to make it more versatile. Other minor things. The hip belt slides open despite the elastic, but you can always knot it. Also there were no instructions for first use and cleaning of the bladder and tubing.
