Review on 🎒 Dakine Heli Pack Rincon - 12L by Ashley Farrington

I'm a big fan of backpacks and come in many different sizes and types, but I really wanted one that was good for skiing, that I could carry on the slopes without having to take it with me starting with the lift and also what I could use with or without a drinking bladder. I have a camel beetle and a larger geiger rig, but neither are ideal for skiing and I don't usually need a lot of water on the slopes, preferring to stop to rest and have a drink rather than carry the weight of the water on my back. That being said, I love that I can put my bladder in this hiking bag (which I did just last weekend and it worked great). I love the style/look of this backpack and it fits great. It's SUPER thin and light yet able to carry everything I need for a day on the slopes or hiking without bulging or feeling too bulky. I also like that I can take my skis with me when I have a long trip with them. My only complaint really is that when used with a water bladder there is no hose hole at the top so you have to zip it up. It's not a big deal and works well, but it would be nice if it had a built-in access port for that. I also think the interior design could have been better with more pockets inside and out for different things, but overall I'm very happy with this purchase. This will always be my ski pack, as will easy day hikes. I was able to bring a small tripod, an extra outer layer, my lunch, a 2L water bladder, gloves and headphones, a phone, an external battery and cables, a small camera, and other items. Items like tissues, tissues, lip balm, sunglasses, gum, keys, wallet, etc. It could technically fit my 15-inch HP Specter X360 laptop up my sleeve, but hardly, and I personally will never use this backpack for that. Hope this helps someone else!
