🎒 Dakine Heli Pack Rincon - 12L Review

Great backpack for everyday use, especially when things need to be done quickly and everything has to be safely stowed away - No MOLLE for external attachments

This is my second backpack of this model. I wore out the first one about 10 years ago through intensive daily use. This one is simple and perfect like the original and I love the size. I use it as an office work/travel backpack. Ideal when you need a discreet, low-profile backpack for air travel or cycling. It is very comfortable to wear and I often get compliments on it. Would buy again and again.

Pros: The bag is minimalist and best suited for setting up a ski lift. Too small for the hinterland. Cons: Yes, it holds a water bladder, but for some reason Dakine discontinued the water hose storage strap in 2018. It broke the deal. Earlier models have a zipper along the left shoulder strap. But not for 2018 and beyond. If you plan to use this with a water tank in freezing temperatures, discard it.

Bought this to carry my snowshoes until I need them on my winter hikes. It works for that. I would like to be able to use it in the summer as well, but there isn't enough space for everything I like to carry around with me. Some sort of mesh accessory pocket that fits in the board carry area would be great and would make this backpack more useful. Dakine.hint. Too expensive for a niche product. I bought blue because it was cheaper and I like that color. Bright enough to be seen but not…

Great backpack for skiing or snowboarding. great size Low profile back. If necessary, you can take a shovel and probe and/or a water bag. It has a chest strap and a thin waist strap. Good for carrying the board on short hikes. If you plan to take your board off-piste or hike seriously, I recommend a little more than that. Three stars because after a few days of skiing, the stitching on the strap came undone in two places. That shouldn't happen with a backpack of this price and quality class…

I like the color and the quality seems decent. There are a couple of interior pockets, but they don't fit a water bottle or anything special that I know of. Contrary to other reviews, there is a valve at the top for the water filter hose to go through and a pair of loops on the left shoulder strap that should hold it in place. It's very simple and minimalist. But for the price I think they will include a hydration pack. Besides the product review, were there a lot of dogs/cats/llamas? Hair…

I bought this backpack to carry my essentials while snowboarding at a ski resort and it did not disappoint. The main compartments allow me to carry my lunch, GoPro and accessories, an interlayer jacket, goggles, a portable charger and other personal electronics. There is an open compartment to slip a helmet or bulky jacket in, which I found very handy (especially on the way from the ski resort). The backpack has a slim profile that makes it almost invisible on the chairlift (personally I forgot

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
