Gets the job done   11-11-08

I used this pack for sidecountry trips and short backcountry tours last season. Until the ski strap ripped off late in the year, I've had great experiences with the Heli Pro. It's big enough for your shovel, probe, skins, food, and water without being overbearing. As someone already mentioned, the diagonal ski attachment is not the greatest and I would be wary of the wear and tear you'll have over time. I've since moved on to using the Lowe Alpine pack, but feel the Heli Pro is still a decent choice for resort and sidecountry use.

Its worth the money   10-27-08

this bag is really nice. Durable and has a ton of useful pockets and straps. The straps are really long and so they kinda just hang there if you have them pulled tight which kinda sicks but there are ways around that. It doesn't come with a camel pack but is compatible with one. This is a good bag and I highly recommend it.

A good little summit pack   11-09-08
Tricky_ER_DR (2): rank
I used this as a summit pack for Mt. Adams. The glacier to the summit was way too icy (and steep at times) to try to skin up, so I used crampons on the ascent and used the pack to carry my skies. As previously pointed out, it is true that the skies flop around a bit, but it wasn't that bad, and it was nice to have this very light summit pack for a VERY, VERY enjoyable ski down from the summit. :) One other thing to note is that because it is just a lightweight and small pack, there is obviously no back support. So the pack was not super comfortable on the ascent, but certainly doable for a few hours. I'd recommend the pack, recognizing it's limitations.
