Dakine Heli 12L Backpack Brown Rice

Lightweight Design Built for the Mountain
Designed for mountain minimalists, this heli 12L backpack offers just what you need for backcountry ski or snowboard missions. Its low-profile design keeps weight down and movement natural while still offering critical functionality. Crafted from 100% recycled polyester, it's engineered for performance without compromise. Whether you're climbing up the slope or riding down, it stays close and steady without shifting around.

Organized Storage in a Streamlined Form
This compact ski pack keeps your essential tools neatly arranged. The main compartment includes dedicated snow tool sleeves and external shovel blade carry for fast access in demanding terrain. A large fleece-lined goggle pocket protects your optics, while the hydration sleeve doubles as laptop storage when off the mountain. An external quick-stash pocket lets you grab small gear fast.

Built for Mobility and Control
Carry your gear your way with diagonal ski/splitboard carry and vertical or horizontal snowboard carry options. The 38 mm webbing belt and sternum strap with rescue whistle enhance fit and safety, while the quick-dry mesh padded back panel improves airflow and comfort during ascents. Perfect for short mountain trips, this 12L ski touring backpack is built to keep you light, fast, and ready to ride.

Care Instructions
If your Dakine bag gets dirty, they recommend hand washing with mild soap (like Nikwax Tech Wash), cold water and a soft bristle brush. If hand washing is not going to do the trick, use a front loader washing machine. To ensure your backpack doesn't get tangled, place inside a pillowcase or mesh bag before washing. Always use cold water, mild soap and run on a gentle cycle. Never bleach your pack. Hang to dry in a warm but shady place, ensuring both inside and out are dry before storing.
