The Dakine Heli 2.0 Pro S 26L Backpack is built for skiers and snowboarders who love venturing beyond the resort, with a shorter, torso-specific fit that delivers better comfort and stability on demanding backcountry adventures. This rugged 26-liter ski and snowboard backpack features durable recycled ripstop construction and integrated RECCO technology to assist professional rescuers in locating you during an emergency. Versatile ski, splitboard, and snowboard carry systems make hauling equipment easy, while a dedicated avalanche tool compartment keeps essential safety gear organized and accessible. Back and side panel access lets you reach your gear without unpacking everything, and a removable helmet carry, fleece-lined goggle pocket, and hydration compatibility add practical convenience. Ergonomic shoulder straps, load lifters, and a padded hip belt provide comfortable support on long approaches, while a built-in rescue whistle adds another useful safety feature. Whether you're chasing untouched powder or earning every turn, the Heli 2.0 Pro S 26L is ready to explore.
An integrated RECCO reflector makes the backpack searchable by professional rescuers equipped with RECCO detectors. This passive technology requires no batteries or activation and provides an additional way for rescue teams to locate a person in an emergency. RECCO does not replace an avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe, or appropriate backcountry training.
Durable 600D recycled polyester diamond ripstop and coated polyester materials are designed to handle demanding mountain conditions. The ripstop construction helps resist tearing and abrasion from regular use, while the coated fabric adds durability for snowy environments.
Designed with a shorter torso profile, the Heli 2.0 Pro S 26L provides a more proportionate fit for skiers and snowboarders who need less pack length. The ergonomic shoulder straps, load lifters, and padded hip belt work together to improve stability and carrying comfort during long approaches.
A 26-liter capacity provides room for essential backcountry equipment, extra layers, hydration, and accessories while maintaining a streamlined profile for active skiing and snowboarding.
Zippered access through both the back and side panels makes it easier to reach packed equipment without unloading the entire backpack, providing added convenience during transitions and gear changes.
A separate snow tool and shovel compartment includes organizational sleeves to help keep essential avalanche safety equipment accessible and separated from the main storage area.
Diagonal and A-frame carry configurations allow skis or splitboard equipment to be secured externally when bootpacking, hiking, or navigating terrain where carrying gear is necessary.
Deployable snowboard carry systems accommodate both vertical and horizontal positioning, allowing riders to choose a configuration suited to their equipment and approach.
A removable helmet carry system provides convenient external storage during climbs or transitions. When not needed, it packs into a dedicated stash pocket located on the lumbar panel.
Breathable mesh padding helps improve comfort during active movement, while ergonomic padded shoulder straps and load lifters allow adjustments for a more stable carrying position.
A 25 mm padded hip belt helps stabilize the pack and distribute the load more comfortably during longer approaches, climbs, and descents.
A dedicated fleece-lined pocket provides a soft storage area for goggles and other scratch-sensitive accessories, keeping them separated from larger equipment.
An easily accessible exterior pocket provides convenient storage for smaller items that need to be reached quickly without opening the main compartment.
An internal mesh pocket inside the main compartment helps organize smaller essentials and keeps loose accessories easier to locate.
Designed to accommodate an insulated hydration system or a two-way radio handset, providing convenient options for hydration and communication during mountain travel. Hydration systems and radios are not included.
A removable sternum strap helps stabilize the shoulder straps during movement, while an integrated rescue whistle provides an additional signaling option in an emergency.

Gear Organization Tip: Keep avalanche rescue equipment in the dedicated snow tool compartment for quick access. Use the fleece-lined pocket for goggles and the external carry systems when transporting skis, a splitboard, snowboard, or helmet.
