Dakine Women's Heli Pack 12L Night Skyline – Lightweight Backcountry Pack

Meet the Dakine Women s Heli Pack 12L Night Skyline

The Heli Pack 12L is a compact, purpose built backcountry companion designed around a women s specific fit. It stays low profile yet holds the essentials for a day in the mountains, giving you freedom to move without carrying extra bulk. The Night Skyline colorway adds a sleek, versatile look that pairs well with technical outerwear and everyday layers alike. From first lift to last light, this pack aims to feel like a natural extension of your gear, balancing weight, access, and protection so you can focus on the line ahead.

Designed for movement, this pack emphasizes organization and accessibility. A fleece lined goggle pocket guards eyewear against scratches, while dedicated snow tool sleeves and an external shovel blade carry keep your tools within easy reach. A hydration sleeve doubles as laptop storage off the mountain, offering a practical way to transition from backcountry days to post ride plans without swapping bags. The material and seams are built for durability, and the quick dry mesh padded back panel helps with airflow as the temps rise or the pace quickens.
