HAVEN'T RATED
Designed in the late 90’s, the Heli Pro helped define the category of technical snow daypacks. Its slim silhouette allowed freedom of movement, its external pockets where shaped to suggest what lived in them, and the whole package just looked impressively dialed. Not only did this pack quickly start appearing on mountains around the globe, it also became a badge of membership on college campuses and city streets. There have been small refinements made since, but the core of the pack still remains one of the best looking snow packs available. Heck, one of the best looking packs of any kind.
