Troubleshooting

Pack feels unbalanced

Adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and waist belt to distribute weight evenly. Ensure heavier items are placed closer to your back.

Straps are difficult to adjust

Ensure the webbing is not twisted. If straps feel stiff, flex them back and forth gently.

Zipper is stuck

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact and lightweight design for minimalist needs.
  • Multiple carry options for snowboards, skis, and splitboards.
  • Dedicated pockets for snow tools and goggle protection.
  • Versatile sleeve for hydration or laptop.
  • Durable construction with a focus on sustainability (100% recycled polyester).

Cons

  • 12L capacity may be insufficient for extended trips or those carrying a lot of gear.

  • External shovel carry might feel less secure than internal options for some users.
  • While fleece-lined, the goggle pocket offers limited protection against hard impacts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Heli Pack 12L requires minimal setup. Ensure the sternum strap and waist belt are adjusted for a secure fit before heading out. The hydration sleeve can accommodate most standard reservoirs (not included), and the laptop can be placed inside for non-snow activities. Snow tools should be placed in their designated sleeves for easy retrieval.

Compatibility: The pack is compatible with most standard hydration systems and can carry most laptops that fit within its sleeve dimensions (approximately 20.47 x 9.84 x 4.33"). It's designed for carrying snowboards, skis, and splitboards using its external strap system.

Care: To clean the pack, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean any soiled areas. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the fabric and protective coatings. Allow the pack to air dry completely away from direct heat.
